Lots of good ones mentioned and Grunter's "Pretty In Pink" reference reminded me of "She's Having A Baby". Excellent 80's s/t.

Led Zep songs are almost impossible to get for soundtracks. On the commentary for Almost Famous, Crowe talks about what he had to go through to get them ("That's the Way", "Misty Mountain Hop", etc). Still, he couldn't get "Stairway to Heaven" for an important scene.

There are some directors out there that do great jobs incorporating source music into their film's soundtrack, using just the right song at the right time to great effect, such as Tarantino (all his films), Danny Boyle (esp. Trainspotting), Roger Avary (esp. Rules of Attraction) ,PT Anderson (esp. Boogie Nights) and Wong Kar Wai.

I'm so with Grunter with the "Pretty in Pink" soundtrack.

But personally, one of my 80's favorites is "Some Kind of Wonderful". I still have spells where I will pop the tape in.

But to move out of the 80's

Just watched "Igby Goes Down" and there are lots of cool tunes on there. Mostly UK or UK sounding stuff.

You got ALL THREE of mine! Something about those John Hughes soundtracks. I think I read on the liner notes for Somekind of Wonderful that he wanted to thank all the artists for creating songs that perfectly embodied the mood for the scene each was in.

Did anyone know that when Howard Deutch reshot the end of Pretty in Pink (if was supposed to have the ending that Somekind of Wonderful ultimately had) that OMD had to re-write their song in two days - and then "If You Leave" became their most successful hit? Wierd.
