Friday Puzzler -- Movie Songs

Alex Y

Following up on last week's puzzle, here are some flowery titles of songs that are from (or closely related to) movies:

1. Individual components of liquid precipitation are relentlessly descending upon this individual's cranium

2. Elevated aspirations

3. The moment within the continuum of time in which you relate a personal desire to the center of a group of planets

4. Coincident with the passage of the ratio of distance to speed

5. A 1,440-minute interval exists in which my monarch's male offspring will arrive

6. Exhale with an audible sound of controllable pitch in the process of performing labor

7. Above the natural spectrum following liquid precipitation

8. Permit us to exit to aviate a quadrilateral all of whose sides are equal to one adjacent side and unequal to another and with perpendicular diagonals

9. Homo sapiens preceded with commercially acceptable mixtures typically consisting of sucrose, pectin, and numerous combinations of edible stimulants

10. The universal set of humans is verbalizing

I couldn't get 10, but now can't quit humming it! Need to rent that movie -- it's been a loooong time.

For each song, tell the movie as well.

1. Raindrops keep falling on my head.

2. High hopes. I think this was a Grace Kelly - Frank Sinatra movie, but can't think of the name.

7. Over the Rainbow

8. Let's Go Fly a Kite

I had to fiddle with a sketch to come up with the specified quadrilateral, which then led me to that exact title. But I couldn't remember any song by that name. A search confirmed the title and provided the movie name, which I'll leave for someone else since I cheated on that part.

Raindrops is, I think, from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (the bicycle scene).
