A note on our selections: We’ve featured only tracks made in the ’80s, so while old soul classics like “Stand by Me” and “Do You Love Me?” loomed large in some ’80s movies, we’re sticking with the acid-washed denim ’80s hits. So in this spirit of joy, we’ve put together a list of the all-time greatest songs from ’80s movies for your delectation and delight. Who can imagine John Hughes’s canon of ’80s movies without their glorious new wave soundtracks? Or the late, great Harold Ramis’s masterpiece, Ghostbusters, without its ectoplasmically wonderful anthem? Bustin’ makes everybody feel good! In the grand and ridiculous prom that was the ’80s, music and movies were king and queen, coming together for a perfect, soft-focus tumble.
Sure, there have been classier, deeper, artier, weirder eras-in fact, probably any other decade you care to name in the past century is cooler than the ’80s-but that’s precisely why ’80s parties are the most fun (soundtracked by our 50 best '80s songs playlist of course). If there’s one word that captures the feel of the 1980s in pop culture, it’s joy.
