Default 80s movies- Your 10-25 Favorite songs from 80s movies

I'd like to see if people have 10-25 songs from 80s movies that they love, so much great music.

I'd like to limit the choices to songs that were from the 80s, no Earth Angel from Back to the future or Werewolves of London from Color Of money, as they were not recorded in the 80s. Some though can slide through if they are 80s songs that were made in the 80s then put in a movie, like In your eyes in Say anything or Oh yeah in Ferris bueller, that is fine since both the song and movie were made in the 80s. My list

1. Power of Love- Back to the Future
2. Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now-Mannequin
3. Heat is On-Beverly Hills cop
4. Ghostbusters-Ghostbusters
5. St. Elmo's Fire- St. Elmo's Fire
6. If you Leave- Pretty in Pink
7. Don't you forget about me- Breakfast Club
8. No Easy Way Out-Rocky IV
9. Meet Me Halfway- Over the Top
10. Glory of Love- Karate Kid II
11. Holiday Road- National Lampoons Vacation
12. Live to tell- At Close Range
13. Against all odds- Against All odds
14. Its In the way that you use it- Color of Money
15. Nowhere Fast- Streets of Fire
16. Christmas Vacation- National Lampoon's XMAS vacation
17. Oh Yeah- Ferris Bueller
18. Thieves Like Us- Pretty in Pink
19. Put a Little Love in your Heart-Scrooged
20. Edge of Forever- Ferris Bueller

Honorable Mentions: Eye of the Tiger, Danger Zone, Take My breath away, We Don't need another Hero, Magic Dance

Thanks! I've always loved that song and it's always stuck out as a quintessential 80s song in regards to any topic of 80s music for me.
