You'll never guess what I voted for! Posted by eightieschick (Member # 4385) on :
I am with you Mouse Avenger! I think the Purple One may just win this one! I also voted for Singles and Dazed and Confused.
Posted by Nice Guy Sammy_Hain (Member # 3150) on :
I voted for Dazed and Confused, Grosse Point Blank, Pulp Fiction, Saturday Night Fever and Valley Girl.
My question though why isn't Grease on the list?
Posted by Nice Guy Sammy_Hain (Member # 3150) on :
or for that matter where is Fast Times at Ridgemont High?
Posted by Stitch G (Member # 2895) on :
I voted Rocky Horror Picture Show because my alltime favorite soundtrack wasn't listed. Believe it or not, Dumb and Dumber has an amazing soundtrack. I bought the CD straight after watching the film 12 years ago, and I still listen to it regularly today!

Spinal Tap gets my vote!!!!
Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
Wow the majority of those are from the 80s too! I think that VH1 is so awesome all of the attention that they have given the 80s! Rock on!
Posted by Nice Guy Sammy_Hain (Member # 3150) on :
But still the great omissions are Fast Times and Grease. Hard to imagine a greatest movie soundtrack poll would leave out both of those.
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
Less than Zero and The Doors both got votes from me........
Posted by rocksteadyflamethrower (Member # 1065) on :
I cast my vote for "Purple Rain".
I won't be watching the countdown, though. I don't watch VH1 Classic anymore. It's not just because they're playing 90s videos. It's because they're also playing stuff like "Supergroup" and "Heavy: The History Of Metal". That's the same (bleep) they're playing on regular VH1. Give me *music videos*, for God's sake!
Sincerely,
John Kilduff

Sometimes I see 80's stuff like Drive Me Wild on there, if it makes you feel any better, RockSteady. Posted by Ali_with_an_i (Member # 27) on :
I voted for "Pretty In Pink". That's a classic. I hope it ends up high on the list.

Is anyone else watching this awesome show this morning?
Here's a brief summary of the 80's movie soundtracks that made the list, plus some of the music videos they played:
#19. Pretty In Pink Soundtrack
They played the title track video "Pretty In Pink" by The Psychedelic Furs. That was one incredible music video.
#13. The Breakfast Club Soundtrack
"Don't You (Forget About Me") music video by Simple Minds.
#12. Dirty Dancing Soundtrack
"(I've Had) The Time Of My Life" by Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes and Eric Carmen's "Hungry Eyes".
#10. Eddie & The Cruisers Soundtrack
On The Dark Side
#8. Footloose Soundtrack
Holding Out For A Hero Footloose Let's Hear It For The Boy
#7. ***Valley Girl Soundtrack***
Melt With You by Modern English - this video is weak...it would have served them better to play the montage from the movie.
#6. Top Gun Soundtrack
Take My Breath Away Danger Zone
#2 Purple Rain
When Doves Cry
Btw, Mouse Avenger you were cheated by the #1 soundtrack which turned out to be The Rocky Horror Picture Show . VH1 Classic later found a link from their official website and it caused a landslide tilt in the vote. But who am I to complain because I posted the link here and tons of 80's movies made the list as well.

In a bit of irony that Sammy was eluding to...VH1 Classic is showing the movie "Grease" right after the soundtrack countdown. Do you think that as just coincidental or as a make up attempt?
Posted by Nice Guy Sammy_Hain (Member # 3150) on :
where was Dazed and Confused on the list?
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Sam, Dazed & Confused was an impressive #4.

So long as Purple Rain was in the top 10, I'm cool with it.
