Songs more famous than the movie

What are some songs more iconic than the forgettable films they were part of the soundtrack to?
White Christmas - starting with the most iconic. Has anyone actually seen Holiday Inn?
Against All Odds - Phil’s best and biggest solo tune. I think I’ve seen bits of the movie on cable.
Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door - I’ve seen the movie and it’s weak; Sam Peckinpah griped that the studio butchered it with edits.
Can’t Help Falling in Love - from Elvis’ Hollywood period.
Gangsta’s Paradise - Some movie where a white chick tries to teach black ghetto kids.
Call Me - that movie where Richard Gere plays a gigolo.
9 to 5 - I actually liked this movie!
The Look of Love, Live & Let Die, Diamonds are Forever - at this point all those Bond movies run together for me. Might throw in Duran Duran, too, but I don’t think A View to a Kill is all that well remembered.
Eye of the Tiger - ditto the Rocky movies.
On the Road Again - I’ve never even heard of the movie.
Unchained Melody - the song is named for the film.
A Hard Day’s Night - Good movie if you’re already Beatles fan. Ditto Yellow Submarine (except not a good movie).
Shaft - Sorry, the movie sucks!
