3. Love my way (Psycidelic Furs)...Pretty in Pink
4. We are not alone (Karla DeVito)..Breakfast Club

80s' movie soundtracks make up more than half of the only music I listen to..I'd say that in no particular order:

1-Where's the Fire-Tim Feehan (The Wraith)
2-Hold On Blue Eyes-LaMarca (The Wraith)
3-Stir It Up-Patti LaBelle (Beverly Hills Cop)
4-Win In the End-Mark Safan (Teen Wolf)
5-Lookin' Up-Michael Sembello (Campus Man)

are 5 of my most favorite original songs from 80s' movies. I'd love to give 10 but I don't wanna break the rules.
