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

"Wishing On Another Lucky Star" by J. D. Souther used in the movie Permenant Record
"With One Look (The Wildest Dream)" by Rupert Hine and Cy Curnin used in the movie Better Off Dead
The song is the first song on the soundtrack, but last in the film. It runs over the credits. Personally, I think it's the best song on the soundtrack, because it features Cy Curnin of The Fixx. Special note: the version of the song that runs during the credits of the film, is not the version on the soundtrack. The version in the film is extended to fit the length of the credits. I believe they extended the guitar solo and sang the refrain an extra time.
"With You" by John Farnham used in the movie Rad
During the part where Cru takes Christian out to the river. Ever since I saw this scene and heard this song I've wanted to go "ass-sliding"
