Devolution here,

Continuing... Man Valley, you have me thinking about this entirely too much.

5) A sleeper... Up the Academy. Ralph Macchio's first movie has Cheap Trick, Blondie, Nick Lowe, and more. It's totally under the radar.

6) License to Drive. I credit Cindy Mancini for making me realize how much I love the song Rush Hour. Peebles and Billy Ocean at the end. Not to mention Mr. Sinatra in the Mazerati "it's nicer than mine"

I'll finish this later.

Devo.. I was planning on just rattling off a quick top 10, but as I got into really trying to make a list, difficulty creeped in because unlike my fav 80's movies.. I've never truly attempted a top 10 soundtracks. It appears that Ronnie has had similiar issues as well. I still had a blast looking up the old album covers that reminded me of my wooden crate full of gems from the 80's.

You just posted a couple sleepers for sure.. I'm watching "Up The Academy" on Netflix right now and I've been a huge fan of the "License To Drive" tunes for awhile.

Logan.. I still own the original "Valley Girl" vinyl LP that was released in the US. Unfortunately, due to copyrights, it only contained six tunes .. like not too cool Julie. But they made up for it later and it definitely still counts!
Ah... I guess there must've been no copyright issues in the UK. Mine has 9 songs.

I'll throw out a soundtrack for a poor movie which I don't think anyone else will mention...

'Times Square' - which features:

Roxy Music
The Ramones
XTC
The Cure
The Cars
Joe Jackson
Gary Numan
The Pretenders
Patti Smith
Talking Heads

... and some others. BEAT THAT!

I just noticed that an old 80's movie soundtrack thread had resurfaced and thought some of the newer folks might enjoy this one with input from several of our current posters. I just read through it again and it was a blast! [Smile]

And my list is almost the same.. but Ronnie did convince me to move "Once Bitten" into my top 10 after hearing it. Also, all the love for the "Sixteen Candles" soundtrack is making me rethink it too.

Enjoy .. and post your top 10 when you get a chance. [Cool]

Devolution here,

Thanks for making me realize I wasn't done.

7) Beverly Hills Cop - the whole thing is great. No doubt at all.

8) The Karate Kid - it's just really cool. The songs always make you picture the scenes.

9) Better Off Dead - my brother was smart enough to have purchased this gem on CD in the mid 90's it is not cheap now. I always wished that Like to Get to Know You Well was on it. I do own that song so it's ok.

10) So many to choose from... Fast Times at Ridgemont High. A hard album to get as a kid, I found the tape at 15 years old and the CD in my early 20's. Goodbye, Goodbye might be my favorite song to close a movie ever.
