80's Songs in 80's Movies Rocommendation List

For anybody interested in some 80's music that played in some 80's movies, here's a list of some of my favorite songs and movies. Of course I know there's a lot more on the actual soundtracks, that do and don't exist today. I just thought it might give some people ideas to new music or new movies they hadn't thought of. Some of these movies could suck to another person, regardless, the soundtrack is worth it for the artists of that time period. You should be able to find all of the music on Youtube, good luck on finding all of the movies to watch. I hope it helps anyone looking for music recommendations. Of course you can shoot me any movie I might've missed in these final days of IMD[]. In order by release date. ;)
