Top 10 1980s Movie Soundtracks You Forgot

[@ChatJauneFlix]

Tell me whats your favorite movie sound tracks? 😃

[@DarqIce]

Doesn't really count as it was in the latest instalment of Despicable me, but "Everybody wants to rule the world" by Tears For Fears was an iconic 80s theme in and of itself.

[@Tom.Livanos]

A good list. Also like to mention 'Neverending Story' (1984) by 'Limahl', from the movie of the same name. Also 'Together in Electric Dreams' (1984) by Philip Oakey and Giorgio Moroder (this guy was everywhere in the 1980s), from the similarly titled movie 'Electric Dreams'. Also 'Chariots of Fire' (1981) by Evangelos Papathanassiou (known professionally as Vangelis), from the movie of the same name.

Not on this list. 1 Fast Times in Ridgemont High. Jackson Browne and Sammy Hagar have songs 🎵 I like. 2 Hard to Hold. 40 years 🎂 in 2024. Rick Springfield wrote and sang a few songs. 3 Teachers. Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance as a duo wrote 2 songs. 40 years 🎂 in 2024. RIP Joe Cocker, who died 10 years ago abd sang Edge of a Dream, written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance. 4 A Night in Heaven. Bad 👎 movie 🎥. But, Obsession and 2 songs written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, as a partnership, were the highlights. 5 Heavy Metal. Bay Area musicians Journey and Sammy Hagar performed. 6 Vision Quest. 7 Two of a Kind. 8 Tron. Songs of Journey were in these 3 movies. 9 Summer Lovers. Chicago and The Pointer Sisters had songs near the end of the movie. 10 Karate Kid. Bananarama had a song. 40 years 🎂 in 2024. 11 A View to a Kill. Parts filmed in my hometown San Francisco 🌉. Only James Bond song to reach Number 1 in Billboard.

@@WineSippingCowboy Clear as mud 😕

[@GNewcomb-q9v]

Soundtracks would have to have Trick Or Treat on there! Fastway put out one hell of an album there!

[@adambowman5964]

Power of Love. Awesome! But let's not forget another awesome Top Gun song, Take My Breath Away. One of the best love songs ever.

[@huntinglightning3507]

The 80s will always be iconic for its music and movies. 😎

[@ChatJauneFlix]

100% agree!!

[@iallso1]

Highlander with its classic Queen soundtrack.

[@stevenyun8296]

Streets of Fire, “How strong is your love” - Legend. So many more…

[@eleventhrunner8778]

I like your top ten, I do but if I have to mention a single song ... the theme from St. Elmo's Fire.

[@guillermojoaquinbello448]

Xanadu and Two of a Kind had very good soundtracks.

[@ChatJauneFlix]

I cant argue with that.

[@joeyschible7314]

St. Elmo’s Fire is my #1!!

[@MrOffthecliff]

Agreed… I would lose Lost Boys in favor of St Elmo’s Fire.

[@jerrettrussell7673]

Definitely 💪

[@twistoffate4791]

You guys are my tribe. Glad to have found the three of you, even for just a moment. I feel the same about the St. Elmo's Fire soundtrack. I thought I was the only one out here.

[@detroitpolak9904]

I always liked (and still do) Secret of My Success by Night Ranger.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Underrated. David Foster is the producer. He is 1 of the writers. He is also the co-writer for Hard to Say I'm Sorry and Glory of Love. Foster wrote some popular songs for 1980s movies.

[@detroitpolak9904]

@ Holy sh*t…I looked up Foster. You weren’t kidding. Just the movies would have been a great career, but those were just a drop in the bucket. Thanks.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

@@detroitpolak9904 David Foster was born and raised in Victoria, BC, Canada 🇨🇦. He has more homes Vancouver, Los Angeles and Singapore 🇸🇬. He moved to Los Angeles partly because of Can Con. He works with A list musicians from Bryan Adams to the late Whitney Houston to Zappacosta. Foster has funny 😄 stories about Adams, Corey Hart and Loverboy. Since the 2000s, Foster frequents Asia 🌏. He likes 👍 many nations there including The Philippines 🇵🇭. He worked with Arnel Pineda and , recently, Morissette Amon, the queen 👸 of music there. She is the Mariah Carey over there. See the video Akin Ka Na Lang, Wishbus version.

[@speedpirates]

Mannequin movie 1987, Nothing’s gonna stop us now from Starship

[@padraicgleeson8417]

God, what an awful song 😢

[@eleventhrunner8778]

@@padraicgleeson8417 I do not see it as an awful song but I do not see it to be included in the top 10 of this video. LOL.

[@rmgaspar49]

if anyone forgot any of these, took a nonstop train from the 70s to the 90s.

[@Trvler7]

Fame, Streets of Fire, St Elmos Fire, Breakin 2 Electric Bigaloo, The Big Chill, Caddyshack, and Eddie and the Cruisers... to name a few

[@antonioaopb]

Show de Bola

[@richardchesser4509]

Journey only the young vision quest.great sound track

[@dietzbert7407]

I was looking for this; it’d certainly be high on my husband’s list of 80s soundtracks…one of Madonnna’s best songs even if it wasn’t a chart topper

[@TjD__99]

Eddie and the Cruisers, Labamba soundtrack, Fast Times at Ridgemont high, Caddyshack, Stand By Me soundtrack and Good Morning Vietnam.

[@leawise7919]

Lost Boys is Still Great, they are all good. We I was in HS we did a Cheer to that song from 48 Hours with Eddie Murphy. My gosh I feel old , but I still good 😃

[@matthewboros4776]

what about GHOSTBUSTERS or LABRYNTH

[@AG-vb2re]

‘In your eyes’ by Peter Gabriel from movie Say Anything is a classic too

[@thepastorate3]

The theme from Superman by John Williams cannot be forgotten. Although we have rather grown accustomed to the theme, it is important to remember that every superman movie or TV show that preceded it was mundane and archaic in comparison.

[@moniquevandoorn8347]

The soundtrack that I expected to be in this list is the one from Ghostbusters. Ray Parker JR even got an Oscar nomination for it. It should have been mentioned at least.

[@darrelld7152]

Maybe because he stole the music for the title song from Huey Lewis song “I want a new drug”. He even asked them to use the same sound, but they said no and he did it anyway and eventually had to give publishing credit to Huey.

[@rerrpr]

Pretty In Pink, Streets Of Fire, Some Kind Of Wonderful?

[@jasontripp3726]

Ferris buelllers day off, any time you here Yello's 'oh yeah and it's boom boom, chicha, chicha you just have to smile. Also Planes trains and automobiles, Paul Young's every time you go away really hits the heart to the sadness behind John Candy's character.

[@wongjefx980]

Eye of the Tiger should be higher in the list. I think more timeless than Footloose, or Danger Zone. Fame by Irene Cara as well, since that movie came out in 1980. Raiders of the Lost Ark came out in 1981…and that theme is epic.

[@jeffreywillstewart]

Lost Boys was really good soundtrack. and has a Roger Daltrey covering 'Don't Let The Sun Go down on Me" over the end credits which is fun since Elton made Pinball Wizard a hit.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

5:25. Purple Rain 🌂. The late Prince recorded some songs in The Record Plant in Saucelito, north of my hometown San Francisco 🌉. 40 years 🎂 ago, he called 📞 Jonathan Cain of Journey because he (Prince) thought he plagiarized Faithfully. Cain listened and said No. Prince felt relieved 😌. Thus, he released the title track Purple Rain. 6:00. Top Gun. Danger Zone. Kenny Loggins is negotiating with Georgio Moroder on credits. This is different than what happened 40 years 🎂 ago with Ghostbusters 👻. Huey Lewis sued Ray Parker Jr and Paramount for plagiarizing I Want a New Drug, a hit song 🎵 in the previous year, 1983. The settlement is out of court.

[@BruT-wz8jl]

Dirty Dancing song should be higher on this list

[@GravesRWFiA]

not bad, I agree on purple rain, the whol;e movie is powerful, I was in college and we all thought it would be a hirrible self expression nonsense but we left the theatree humbled by his power. BUT on this list you could drop power of love-teen power is in breakfast club, and i'd suggest John Williams "Raiders March-' a tune that just scream adventure.

[@BenKoprivnak]

The only people who forgot these soundtracks are the people born after the 80's

[@David4cars]

In this country from over the top, flight of the navigator theme also glory of love from karate kid 2.

[@noelbarcelona8610]

Goonies

[@GNewcomb-q9v]

Eye Of The Tiger was wrote for Rocky 3! It was used in 4 but it’s a Rocky 3 track! This list should be called top 10 songs from 80’s movies because you are clearly leaving out many songs that are great on the actual soundtracks!

[@relefg]

"...you forgot" doesen't really fit this list of very popular songs.

[@larssteffensen3248]

Take my breath away was a bigger hit than dangerzone

[@MarkGrago]

Saturday Night Fever was 1977. 😅

[@ChatJauneFlix]

lol yea, but it was a good into so I decided to add it in there :) plus the music in that movie in incredible.

[@dadawesome784]

It’s kind of an honorary 80s movie.

[@peteowe]

Beat Street had a great soundtrack

[@andrewwaddoups3544]

Electric Dreams

[@dinofrenza3583]

Against all odds was a big success

[@darrelld7152]

lol, Rocky IV had Burning heart by survivor not eye of the tiger and the scene you showed was from Rocky 3.

[@gardshugart8222]

Fame

[@andram79]

Ghostbusters theme song should have made the list

[@jeremysigle4795]

I dont agree with most of this list...it focused too much on an individual song vs the soundtrack in entirety. Footloose and Dirty Dancing easily the best soundtracks as a whole, with Top Gun behind it. If you look at individual songs from a soundtrack, while mentioned, Survivor's Eye of the Tiger would be #1 in my book. Chariots of Fire, Who's Johnny, Bad Boy, Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.

[@BarbaraAnnCreech]

Why was Rocky scared of Rocco?

[@orwolfe80]

I'm giving you a down vote; not because of the movies you chose, but rather you only focused on ONE SONG that made these soundtracks. I feel that, if you had focused on the soundtracks as whole, and not JUST the popular songs from them; this list would be quite different. For this reason alone, I thumbs downed this video.
