Can't Buy Me Love Soundtrack - Robert Folk (The Original Instrumental Score)

[@joec2639]

Brings me back to 1987 when I was 18 and life was so different. I was in love with Cindy and at times I felt like Ronald. I watched this movie over and over. Sometimes I wish I could rewind my life.

[@ericsjursen7494]

Amanda Peterson was my dream girl. She made Can't Buy Me Love the great movie that it is! A talented actress, so beautiful, gone now but never forgotten.

[@nazur72]

She was a rare talent indeed, R.I.P Amanda.

[@AudioInklined]

Couldn't agree more. A wild flower

[@evanderdelarosa462]

[@Scatscar1985]

She was great in "Explorers" as well. Sadly missed.

[@BobCat623923]

@@Scatscar1985 They didn't give her enough to do in Explorers, she barely has any lines or lengthy scenes.

[@KeoTheCupcake]

This movie reminds me of home and I'm happy my 20 year old daughter loves this movie. Did something right. 😁

[@paulfortney4978]

A very underrated soundtrack and movie. I was always a big fan of Amanda and her family. In 4th grade her father operated on me and to cheer me up he had his eldest daughter Anne-Marie pay a visit. That was almost 50 years ago, but I’ll never forget it. Thank you!

[@zappamann]

THIS is what made movies in the 80s so damn great. They just dont make em like they used too. The soundtrack brought me back. 19:06

[@OviaiMusic]

Thats true i miss such type of soundtrack in movies

[@nazur72]

Yeah thats Ronald realizing he has no friends lol..

[@brianstephen8147]

this was one of the best 80's movies of all time

[@als92380]

R.I.P. Amanda Peterson

[@BobCat623923]

I agree....such a tragic life...Amanda had it all - ultra talented, naturally beautiful (almost freakishly so), very likeable and well spoken. Really hard to understand how someone who had so much could lose in the end like she did. She deserved better. She should have been protected better from the Hollywood machine that warped her life. Very sad.

[@Mail-In_Voting_Is_Great]

Absolutely agree. But the pull that drugs possess is wickedly unique. RIP Amanda.💘❤️‍🔥

[@wolffman2445]

The 80’s. Such simpler times.

[@mitchellc2912]

One of the few movies I can watch over and over again w/o getting bored (even 29 years later at age 45). Only Karate Kid and Back to the Future give this movie a run for her money, but NOBODY gave Amanda Peterson (aka Cindy Mancini) a run for her money in my book. Cindy, you live forever!!!! XOXOXO One of your biggest fans ever :(

[@carrieturck3140]

My favorite of all time growing up as a young kid, "in a sea of deep blue together at last together as two". Pretty poem, wonder who wrote that? Ironically my daughter now 21 grew up to look amazing just like her and loves politics. I guess dreaming is Very believable, when you love someone. Glad to know she still lives in others hearts as well. Age does not really have a number at that point, when beauty is always there

[@hazelgoodshepherd9315]

Yes, yes and yes! All day long. Isn't that weird though???

[@rolandsalas3206]

Well I've got $1,000 that says it will

[@dj-7154]

Thanks for putting this up. This was one of the best underrated scores ever

[@figureskating2724]

It's all great, but really like 12 Have to Talk, 13 and 14 Finale. RIP Amanda!

[@emilianogonzalez678]

My water turned into fine wine listening to this ❤

[@OvenGloveLove]

This is still one of my favourite films of the 80's and it genuinely breaks my heart to think that Amanda Peterson is no more. This music just kills me.

[@BREKKADRAW]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@dougmasters4579]

A great score for a great film. 7:53 is the part where they sneak into the airplane graveyard - one of the nicest pieces of film scoring you'll hear.

[@hollywood8409]

***** Well said Doug, I couldn't agree with you more. I listen to it in my car a lot. Robert Folk did an excellent job with the music and since I read that this film cost only 1.7 million to make - he probably didn't make a killing scoring the movie. The largest amount the producers paid was $175,000 to use the Beatles song!

[@dougmasters4579]

Louis DiRosa Thanks, Louis! That's right, people remember this film the most because of the Beatles song, it no doubt made the film a lot more popular! Robert Folk is a very talented and underrated composer. Glad he gave us great scores like this!

[@josepgabarrosperez3227]

I love the movie and this score is amazing. Pure nostalgia.

[@Kwaj]

Oh, I love 'Siberia', (19:09) especially the very beginning. In the film, it starts playing right as Cindy watches a completely dejected Ronald trudge through the hallway. When the camera cuts to her on the stairs is when I think Amanda Peterson was at her most beautiful in the film. The red sweater and matching scarf just sets her off so wonderfully.RIP Amanda Peterson

[@MarceloSxTx4life]

Kwaj, i completelly agreed

[@humbledandgrateful7411]

Thank you for posting this, Fabio! Listening to "Rent Me" after, maybe, 25 years just broke my heart!

[@nvmcrider8475]

This movie is a reminder that life was better before social media and texting. When you had to talk to people in person and get out of the house for a social life, today’s kids have missed out.

Love when Cindy screams out, "Donald!" as a tease/throwback to the original mistake when she realizes that she has legit feelings and runs to him in the close out. It gets me every time. 💯

[@walterm.8504]

5:08 "you can do anything you want. Anything you put your heart and your mind into.", Ronald said to Cindy. Emotional scene, when she stood up and brought the poem for him to read it.

[@hazelgoodshepherd9315]

8:45 "The Navy found this one last year off the coast of Japan. They did a corrosion study on it. After 40 years at the bottom of the ocean... this is all that rusted. Our grandparents sure knew how to make things that last." "... How do you know all this stuff?" "Well, the pilot who ditched it in 1944? He came back a few weeks ago to take a look at this. He stood here and looked at this thing the whole day."

[@DH33.0]

Fits the scene perfectly. Top class soundtrack for a classic movie.

[@leonarddai4998]

I really love that scene

[@gregs.427]

Watching the movie right now at 2:20am Mountain time and it's taking me back 30+ years

[@marcelos.8462]

Hazel no doubt this is one of the best scenes. The sad thing is when both return to home and inside her car she is complet in love by him; but all his mind is trying to figure out is how they could provide a break up in front of their school friends. I remember the first time I saw this amazing movie (I was in my teennage years just like the movie's caracters) how certain situations in all story could fit in our regular lives and things about school, real friendship, first relationships and how difficult this period of our lives can be. Anyway, I guess we are lucky to make part of a generation that grew up with movies like this one. Best regards from Brazil !

[@hazelgoodshepherd9315]

@@marcelos.8462 Well said. Yes, Cindy was pretty much offering to take his virginity... but being so naïve it went right over his head.

I remember watching this when I was a kid (not in the 80s or 90s). I've re watched it multiple times, and have grown to like Amanda Peterson in the movie (1987). I remember hearing about her passing in 2015, truly sad. A talented life gone, only if I could go back in time to correct all the wrongs that's been done.

In 1987 I was 13 and I never saw this movie, because in Italy hadn' t success like in Usa, but I remember Amanda Peterson in Annie musical of 1982. She had a great voice and a good acting, though john houston gave her a small part. This soundtrack is really nostalgic and sad, so it reminds she went away very soon.
