Wow, so many great ones on there, Robin! I have (and have played to death) the full soundtracks from several of those movies. I was also going to say Unchained Melody from Ghost, but I guess technically it's from 1990. LOL If you want cheesy, you can't beat the theme to Ghostbusters though!!! LOL
You definitely need Holding Out for a Hero from Footloose. That's one of my favorites. And now I have to go add Pretty in Pink to my Netflix because it's been way too long since I've seen it!
Oh Gee Whiz! That's quite a list! I second Amy's reference to Footlose, and I can't think of anything else right now, but I'm sure I will! If I do, I'll be back ;)
Okay Robin, how about Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now from the movie Manequin? It's a classic! LOL Also from Dirty Dancing - Stay Just a Little Bit Longer.
If you end up putting this together, bring it to CHA so we can rock out to the 80s while drinking our wine! LOL
