Need Suggestions for 80's Teen movie CD

So I'm flipping through the channels and 16 Candles is on and I decided to make an 80's Teen movie soundtrack disc. I'm trying to think of some songs for it (preferably songs featured in multiple movies).
So far I've got True by Spandau Ballet and Don't You Forget About Me as definites.
I'm hoping you guys can make some suggestions, again preferably songs featrured in multiple movies of the genre.

Even though it's not an 80's song, you could throw in "Can't Buy Me Love" by the Beatles.

Very nice, I'll probably use that as a base for my mix. There are a few songs I want to add and few I'd remove but that gives me a good start.
