Your Top 10 Movie songs, 60's only

[r&b]

I really enjoyed the top 10 songs of the 70's topic, so I am starting this one. What are your top 10 movie songs of the 60's. I will start

Doin The Best I Can
Cant Help Falling In Love
Return To Sender
King of the Whole Wide World
Follow That Dream
Viva Las Vegas
I Need Somebody To Lean On
Let Yourself Go
A Little Less Conversation
Clean Up Your Own Backyard

Change of Habit I really like but the production is less than stellar. Too muffled

[pmp]

I'm purposefully leaving out the Can't Help Falling in Love/Return to Sender duo, as I think they're going to be on everyone's list - although oddly, despite their excellence, they're rarely songs I seek out. Heard too often, I guess.

Doin' the Best I Can
Forget Me Never
No More
King of the Whole Wide World (if we're allowed the unedited version)
They Remind Me Too Much of You
Bossa Nova Baby
I Need Somebody to Lean On
Almost in Love
Almost
Clean Up Your Own Back Yard

[jeanno]

Pocketful of rainbows
Summer kisses, winter tears
In my way
Blue hawaii
Cant help falling in love
King of the whole wide world
We're comin in-loaded
They remind me too much of you
C'mon everybody (movie version)
I'm a roustabout

Certainly would have been on my list had it come out in 1964 and was on the soundtrack LP. One of the crimes in Elvis music that we had to wait until the 2000s to hear this gem.

but regular spins for me:

I Got Lucky
Follow That Dream
Doin The Best
Big Love Big Heartache
Little Egypt
They Remind Me Too Much of You
Comin In Loaded
You Gotta Stop (I know but loved it since the Camden days of the 70's)
Let Yourself Go
Edge of Reality
Most of the 68/69 soundtrack songs would be in there too if room
As would much of FIA LP and Spinout
loves me some 60's soundtracks

I would add Please Don't Stop Loving Me

Ah, you're taking the high road. I'll join in.

When I think "top 10" I consider that to be songs that are as good as Elvis got.

No surprise, the early sixties has the lion's share.

Glad to see Angel popping up. What a Wonderful Life from FTD is stellar too IMO.
I’ve always loved Wonderful World from LALLAL. The British songwriters for Wonderful World also wrote The Fair’s Moving On, which is also great.
The remaining 7 for me would be, in no particular order:
Home is Where The Heart Is
They Remind Me Too Much of You
One Broken Heart For Sale (very underrated I think)
Little Egypt
A Boy Like Me, A Girl Like You
Let Yourself Go
I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here
