"Don't You (Forget About Me)", Favorite Songs from Movies, Songs Beginning with I
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.

Just one of several classic songs from this movie, it's the one that probably went highest on the charts.

Although the movie is from the 2000s, when Drew is standing in class and Billy walks in, they cut to this classic 80s song. I think every girl is taken back in time to when their high school prom king walks through the door. Classic song.

"I'll Be Here Where the Heart Is" by Kim Carnes used in the movie Flashdance
Ok. Sure Kim Carnes gave us "Bette Davis Eyes," a great song and one of my favs. But how did she get overlooked on the "Flashdance" soundtrack with "I'll Be Here Where the Heart Is"? It's a great song, but way too overlooked. Kim Carnes should have deserved credit for it. It's fantastic.
