Movies Rock

Fashion Rocks brought fashion and music together back in September, and tonight, another CBS special will unite music and the movies. Movies Rock, a two-hour special that begins at 9 p.m. EST and PST tonight, is much like its fashionista cousin, right down to the Conde Nast magazine supplement and star-studded lineup.

I told you a while back about some of the performances, which will feature musicians singing their favorite songs from the movies — Beyonce performing "Over the Rainbow," Carrie Underwood belting "The Sound of Music," and more. There's a big list of other performers, as well, including Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Hudson, Fergie, and Elton John.

From Pop's glimpse at the dramatic red carpet, this looks like it was one can't-miss Hollywood event. To check out a video preview, just read more

Speaking of well-known music from movies, Conde Nast Media Group the Producers Guild and the Entertainment Industry Foundation will team up for Movies Rock, a salute to music in movies, which will air December 7 on CBS. Similar to their Fashion Rocks event, "Movies Rock will be supplemented by a magazine component, also called Movies Rock, which will be packaged with 14 December Conde Nast titles. Publication will highlight stars, directors and musicians, and Bill Murray is the cover."
The following performances will take place:

• Beyonce will sing "Over the Rainbow"
• Carrie Underwood will perform "The Sound of Music"
• Fergie and Jennifer Hudson will pay tribute to Bond films with "Live and Let Die" and "Goldfinger"
• Mary J. Blige and John Legend will sing "As Time Goes By"
• Elton John "will honor music from animated movies"
• John Williams will perform a medley from his original scores, which include Jurassic Park and Raiders of the Lost Ark

This sounds pretty cool, and I look forward to seeing this in December. However, there are other songs and scores I'd love to see performed as well, such as the theme music from The Godfather and Gone With the Wind, and perhaps "In Your Eyes" from Say Anything.

What about you? What iconic songs-from-movies would you include in a tribute concert?
