I agree w/ The bazman, Power of love is awesome. I actually saw Huey Lewis and the news perform last year. Twas awesome! Ne Who, well, Cyndi lauper's The goonies R good Enough is great also. Check out the video too. finally, Ben E Kings Stand By Me is incredible. I am a total sucker for corny 50's love songs. Shame on me!

Devolution here, Movie songs, way to narrow it down! Obscure - Thunder in your heart from Rad comedy - with one look - better off dead horror - Dream Warriors from Nightmare on Elm street 3 Drama - She loves me from Some kind of wonderful Teen - Wild Sex in the working class from sixteen candles Action - Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow, I just like die hard
We are DEVO

The whole Some Kind Of Wonderful soundtrack was great, including 'Amanda Jones'. 'I Go Crazy', and my favorite, 'Brilliant Mind'.
Most of John Hughes' earlier movies had superb tracks with a lot of the music taken from the brit-pop scene, which at the time was not well known stateside. I recon that this is one of the reasons that his moveies were do good - they had an edge to them that was different from anything else at the time.

I love " "Rock Until You Drop" " too Squadron. I always loved that song from the movie. I've been searching for that song for awhile but I still haven't found it...if it even exists anymore. As far as my other favorite songs....hmm...there's so many to choose from...but here's a few: Power of Love - Back to the Future Eye of the Tiger - Rocky No Easy Way Out - Rocky IV Go For It - Rocky V (I"m not sure if this is an 80's movie or not...it may be early 90's) Cruel Summer - Karate Kid You're the Best - Karate Kid Karate Kid On Our Own - Ghostbusters 2Posts: 228 | From: Elizabethtown, PA, USA | Registered: Jun 2002 | Site Updates: 0

The Lost Boys soundtrack is incredible. My personal favs are:
Good Times- INXS and Jimmy Barnes
Cry Little Sister(my fav)- Gerard McMann
and...
a great cover of People Are Strange- originally done by the Doors, cover done by Echo and the Bunnymen

That is my fav too, see we aren't different at all! Hehehe. My friend, made me a collection of CD's from the 80's and put the Cry Little Sister song on there- but I had it on CD already. But, he did put the music from Fright Night on it too-it is just music-no words, and I love it. I can't remember the name of it now.
I also love Kenny Loggins: Holiday Road, and I'm Allright from Caddyshack.

I love the goofy songs from the 80's and I told someone else about this website-I think, Duckie, but it's www.kidrhino.com, and it has Dr. Demento's hits on there, and it's a 2 disc collection of hits like: Monster Mash, and Maddah Faddah, but I like the song Junk Food Junkie-which nobody I know knows it.
I also like the song Makin It- from Meatballs, and I liked the tv show Makin too-that was on briefly.
I also love the whole soundtrack to The Night the Lights went out in Georgia, and Little Darlings-the first song, where they're singing it in the opening- it might be called: Give the boys something to dream about??
