"Don't You (Forget About Me)", Favorite Songs from Movies, Songs Beginning with M
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.

I LOVE THAT SONG
"meet me halfway" by kenny loggins used in the movie over the top
One of his best songs!!!
"Mega Madness" by Michael Sembello used in the movie Gremlins
I don't think they ever released the soundtrack on CD (though I could be wrong), but I used to have a cassette copy of the soundtrack and it had this song on it. It's playing on the radio when the gremlins are drinking in the bar. Even better, there's a song called "OUT, OUT" by Peter Gabriel that plays during the same scene. VERY cool early track, which I have a copy if anyone's looking for it. I don't have a copy of Mega Madness though. If anyone comes across it, please drop me an e-mail.
