What movies were based on or inspired by Top 40 hits? I know quite a few were based on country hits (probably because there tend to be a lot of story songs in country music):
"Convoy"
"The Gambler"
"Harper Valley PTA"
"Ode to Billie Joe"

Most recently there was “I Can Only Imagine,” which was a hit for Mercy Me in 2003.

Apparently the Chainsmokers are making a movie based on their song "Paris".

How about "Rhinestone" which was based on Glen Campbell's "Rhinestone Cowboy".

"Jack and Diane" was John Mellencamp's biggest hit in 1982. Early this decade it was a movie title.
Another good example is the newest movie "Bohemian Rhapsody", which is about the band Queen and was released just last week as I post this.

Based on the jazz version of a 50s chart hit, "Play Misty For Me" featured Clint Eastwood as a radio DJ stalked by a psycho listener.
