heres mine  
every sperm is secrad from the  montypythons meaning of life movie maby iam imature but that song cracks me up  
all of the transformers the movie soundtrack whats not to like about it  it s rock music   but from that movie its got to be touch and  dare by stan bush and nothing gonna stand in my way by spectral genral
princes of the unerverse /who wants to live forever by queen  from highlander amazing songs  by one of the true grat rock bands
ghostbusters by ray parker jr  its funky

foot loose  by keny logans great track  the end of the movie is amazing for this song  same gose for my next choice  
iv had the time of my life (cant remember who sang it )from  dirty dancing  the whole sound track was kickd but  that song stands out  

I know that 'I had the time of my life' was by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes' - Great soundtrack.

I've also got to agree with 'Ghostbusters' and 'Footloose' as well.

'Wierd Science' by Oingo Boingo and 'She's like the wind' by Patrick Swayze are excellent and my pick.  :)

I agree, Mr Crowly, Highlander is one amazing soundtack!  :D
Also, as far as I can remember, the soundtrack for Pretty In Pink was not bad.

I'll give an honorable mention to the soundtrack for the movie

Eddie & The Cruisers by John Cafferty.

My faves are (in no particular order):

Tender Years
On The Dark Side
Down On MY Knees
Season In Hell (Fire Suite)

Here's a quote about the album:

There was a year's delay before this film, which concerns the mysterious death of a fictional '60s rock star, took off via video and cable TV; but when it did, the soundtrack album, featuring such songs as "On the Dark Side" and "Tender Years," by John Cafferty And The Beaver Brown Band, took off with it. To most, the music sounded like Bruce Springsteen clones, but it was appealing nonetheless. —
