Basically, i'm trying to make a CD comprised entirely of songs that have been on movie soundtracks from the 80's. I'm 3 tracks in, which should hopefully give an idea of the mood i'm going for, and discourage any suggestions of T'Pau or something.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

01. Back In Time – Huey Lewis and The News (Back To The Future)

02. The Touch - Stan Bush (Transformers: The Movie) – comically covered by a greatly drugged up Mark Whalberg and John C. Reilly in ‘Boogie Nights’.

03. You’re The Best – Joe Esposito (Karate Kid)

Over to you, forum...

E. Honda

Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now (from Mannequin)
Survivor - The Moment of Truth (from Karate Kid)
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger (from Rocky III)
Ray Park - Who Ya Gonna Call (from Ghostbusters)

Berlin - Take My Breath Away (Love Theme from Top Gun)

John Waite - Change (from Vision Quest)
and
Bryan Adams - One Night Love Affair (from Real Genius)

There's also...

Stan Bush - Dare (also from Transformers: The Movie which I personally like better than "The Touch")

and... if you can find "Back To School" by Jude Cole (from the movie of the same name), it's a real gem.
