One of my favorite movies in the 80's was The NeverEnding Story, and I love the song as well. Its a corny video but I love the song.

One of my favorite movies in the 80's was The NeverEnding Story, and I love the song as well.

That is so interesting... I have never heard of anyone who liked that song so much!

I used to think Atreyu was hot - not the one from the 2nd Neverending Story, but the one from the first.

So did I, I had a big crush on Atreyu from the 1st movie! I only liked the very first NeverEnding Story. And also like Pretty In Pink! By the way I love "Dont you Forget about me" from the Breakfast Club.

Gotta be If You Leave from Pretty in Pink

Gotta be If You Leave from Pretty in Pink

I think that's probably the best part of the movie... when that song is playing and Molly's character says, I just want to show them that they didn't break me.. (or something like that) and then she shows up in the most hideous dress ever, but it was cool because she made it herself (and it was the 80's so pretty much everything looked ridiculous). Ahhhh... the days.




I LOVE this thread btw

For me, it's easily "The Last Unicorn" by America from the animated film of the same name.

The Last Unicorn

This has been my favorite cartoon since I was 4. I saw the movie only twice back then but this song stuck with me till I finally found the movie for sale on DVD and bought it a few years back. Still a good movie as an adult and still love this song.

 

[St. Paul]

My favorite was a song called The Power Of Love by Huey Lewis from the movie Back To The Future.

 

[Perhaps Today]

A lot of great choices, but I will go with this one for now.

From Caddyshack, 1980

YouTube - I'm Alright by Kenny Loggins (Studio Version)

 

[Perhaps Today]

Here's a really obscure track from the 1986 movie "The Wraith" starring Charlie Sheen. The group (Lion) also released it on their 1987 album.

YouTube - Lion "Never Surrender"

John Barry's score to Body Heat is terrific. It's about as steamy and sultry as music can be. Which fits the movie perfectly.

[ParentofChildren]

"You Cant always get what you want" Rolling Stones (The Big Chill), very close second "Don't You forget about me", third ... John Parr "Man in Motion" in ( St Elmos Fire), "American Girl" Tom Petty ( Fast Times at Ridgemont High ), "I'll Stop the World & Menlt with You" Modern English (Valley Girl); "Fame" Irene Cara (Fame). Sorry I just could not stop.
