Don't forget....

 

In Highlander, the Kurgan grabs an old lady and drives across the Manhattan Bridge, the song that's playing is Queen singing New York New York. It's a version you can't find anywhere.

There are some interesting and obscure movies in this thread (and yes, i have seen many of them).  However, some that are being listed weren't exactly "80's movies that no one has heard of"..    Some Kind of Wonderful, Less Than Zero, Real Genius, Weird Science, Short Circuit, etc were hardly unknown movies. 

That said...   one of the best soundtracked movies listed here is................ Streets of Fire.  Absolutely crazy ridiculous movie (i mean, Michael Pare, 'nuff said), but man some of the music was great in that.  and if we're going down Michael Pare lane, lets not forget Eddie & the Cruisers

oh, and special mention to Strange Brew..   if you are a fan of bob & doug mackenzie, this movie was fantastic

Yea, but they're unknown to millennials. They never get references we adults use.  Shit most haven't seen Animal House. 

 

How about:

Eraserhead

Stranger than Paradise (Screaming Jay Hawkings, he's the man)

Vision Quest

 

 

All the others were good but as some who wrestled from  a young age through college it was the most important movie ever made.

Madonna as a lounge signer performing Crazy for You and Get into the Groove before she was mega famous.

The campy hotel room speech about Pele.  I could go on-and-on. 

Spoiler: they scored the final match incorrectly as well as other gaffes in that scene.  However, who didn't jump off their couch when he pinned Shute?  I still stand and watch that match 30 years later.  My wife laughs at me watching as if he may lose one time.

I wrestled at the time as well, but I recall the most memorable scenes involving Linda Fiorentino...
