"Don't You (Forget About Me)", Favorite Songs from Movies, Songs Beginning with D
Movies in the eighties had some of the best soundtracks, and the most memorable and popular songs at the time seem to have sometimes outshone the movies themselves. As I get time I'll add more songs to this list, feel free to send me your additions to the list. If you want, try and list which scene during the movie the song appears during. Oh, and the whole "Valley Girl" soundtrack get's an honorable mention since it's packed full of great eighties songs. I also rank and review other eighties soundtracks on my Soundtracks of the Eighties Page in case you are interested.

"Daddy's Girl" by Peter Cetera used in the movie Three Men And A Baby
Great song to dance with your father at your wedding!
"The Dance " by Tangerine Dream used in the movie Legend
Track 9 to the soundtrack. This song is played while The "devil" is trying to lure the main female character, "a good girl", into the darkness. This instrumental is so emotional for me, it's metaphorical in the way the good girl resist the temptations , but inevitably she's too weak and gives in to the dance.
"Dancing In Heaven" by Q-Feel used in the movie Girls Just Want to Have Fun
"Dancing With Myself" by Billy Idol used in the movie Can't Buy Me Love
