New Wave Outpost Forum

Looking back at all the movies that came out during the 80's, which one of these do you think had the best soundtrack? Personally for me it's a toss up between Valley Girl and The Lost Boys.

The exclusion of Repo Man renders this poll invalid.

The Party Animal

What? No Xanadu or Cocktail?!

+! Not to mention a tiny little movie called Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Times Square may have been the first and best of the decade. Not my cup of tea, but Electric Dreams deserves a nod. Last American Virgin just might be the greatest of all, but good luck finding it.

Hard for me not to vote Valley Girl among the ones here.

Flashdance, Footloose and Some Kind of Wonderful really need to be on there. And I agree, Electric Dreams is a must.

Hmmm, guess I'm the only "other" at the moment. My vote goes to Fear No Evil from '81.

^^^ Nice one WWUI82

OK, who voted for Purple Rain...[:p]

Blade Runner

Blade Runner and Transformers 87!

I voted for Valley Girl because Rhino Records issued a 2nd soundtrack. [:D] I feel like there's another option that I'd rather vote for, but I can't think of it.

I, too, Voted for Valley Girl, bc it's my favorite movie.

Cant believe: Breakfast Club/Some Kind Of Wonderful werent included as well?



"Keepin the '80s alive!"

Scarface, Flashdance.... anything by G Moroder [:D]

Donnie Darko! Oh wait that was 2001 (due to the wormhole?)

How about Something Wild - due to the Feelies

ok.. i admit.. I'm a 'sucker' for the Lost Boys. maybe it's the Aussie music connection It got my vote.
