Favorite 80's Movie Soundtrack

Postby Kool_Kat » Fri Jul 24, 2009 2:21 am

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.

+! 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.

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.

Ditto to the max on the Valley Girl. Special nod to oh, I dunno.....[b]ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL[/b][^]

edit: Wait, [i]was[/i] that during the (early) eighties? The whole period was a blur, man [:I]
