Love your choices!!! Now that i'm trying to remember some of mine I've gone blank. This what they are today...
1. Bela Lugosi's Dead (Bauhaus)....The Hunger
2. Love Hates (Marianne Faithful)...Tuff Turf
3. Love my way (Psycidelic Furs)...Pretty in Pink
4. We are not alone (Karla DeVito)..Breakfast Club
5. This womans' work (Kate Bush)...She's having a Baby. (I think this was 90's, but it's still one of the best) [Razz]

some good choices. "touch you once" by OMD from PiP is actually called "if you leave".

my choices?

(1) Secret Of My Success - Night Ranger
(2) Good Times - Jimmy Barnes & INXS (Lost Boys)
(3) I Am The Future - Alice Cooper (Class Of 1984)
(4) Restless Heart - John Parr (The Running Man)
(5) The Power Of Love - Huey Lewis (Back To The Future)

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.
