My 25th class reunion (1986) is coming up in a couple of weeks and I've been taking a trip back to the early 80's on Facebook. This morning I posted the following music videos:

John Parr - St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion): http://youtu.be/jVf4_WglzWA
NOTE: Rob Lowe was deliciously HOT HOT HOT in this movie, btw. :)

Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me): http://youtu.be/jpc7TBhilFI
NOTE: Breakfast Club

These two were from 1985 but there are so many more that I could list. :) I could watch them over and over and over! What were some of your favorite 80's movies and soundtracks?

    The Breakfast Club and Ferris Beuller's Day Off are two of the best movies ever made and have the best soundtracks IMO. I do watch them over and over.
