"Don't You (Forget About Me)", Favorite Songs from Movies, Index
Movies in the eighties had some of the best soundtracks, and the most memorable and popular songs at the time seem to have sometimes outshone the movies themselves. As I get time I'll add more songs to this list, feel free to send me your additions to the list. If you want, try and list which scene during the movie the song appears during. Oh, and the whole "Valley Girl" soundtrack get's an honorable mention since it's packed full of great eighties songs. I also rank and review other eighties soundtracks on my Soundtracks of the Eighties Page in case you are interested.

"Shocker" by The Dudes Of Wrath used in the movie Shocker
Catchy song...Good movie...One of Wes Cravens best I think
""The Secret Of My Success "" by Night Ranger used in the movie The Secret Of My Success
(can't remember what scene - opening and/or end credits?)
"Live To Tell" by Madonna used in the movie At Close Range
One of the most under rated movies of the 80's. The idea of using just the instrumental track throughout the movie was perfect.(The idea was also used by "Titanic" with "My Heart Will Go On"!)I'm not a big Madonna fan, but this is one of her bestsongs ever.
"Reach Out and Take It" by Cheap Trick used in the movie Heavy Metal
I tend to be fans of a single song from some bands that I'm otherwise apathetic about, and it's usually a song that sounds unlike their other work. This one started that way, but I've warmed up to Cheap Trick since then. Crank this one to 11, especially the wicked opening.
"Is It Love" by Mr. Mister used in the movie Stakeout
End credits
