Crappy songs rehabilitated by movie scenes, commercials, etc.

I heard "Sister Christian" on the radio today, even thought it's a pretty bad song even by power ballad standards, thanks to Alfred Molina in a bathrobe and a couple dozen firecrackers, I was actually enjoying it.

From "Boogie Nights":

And while not exactly a bad song, the Rolling Stones' "2000 Man" became about 100x more awesome as the soundtrack for Dignan's last stand in "Bottle Rocket."

Anyone else have some?

1. Virtually the entire soundtrack of Pulp Fiction

2. Miserlou? Crappy?

But then, I like surf music more than most (largely for the insane reverb on the guitars that went out of fashion in the mid '60s)

Now, '90s Neil Diamond covers - that's a crappiness I can get behind, but it was pretty cool in the movie. Good call.
