Music videos that pay homage to movies

.

So this kind of speaks for itself. There are certain videos that are themed around a certain movie; not as in soundtracks to that movie, but the artist or group paying homage to a movie that they like. I'll give a couple of examples:

.

'Rush Rush' by Paula Abdul references Rebel Without A Cause:

.

.

'I'm Glad' by Jennifer Lopez pays homage to Flashdance:

.

.

'Fight Music' by D12 was inspired by Warriors:

.

.

Can you guys think of more music videos that pay homage to movies? Please post your favourites!

I don't want your rhythm without your rhyme

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
