I was taking kids on a hike today and we were rocking out on some sweet 80’s tunes. So… it got me thinking about what were the greatest 80’s movie theme songs. Here’s my top 5 (plus 1) list of the Greatest 80’s Move Theme Songs:

1. The Breakfast Club - Don’t You (Forget About Me) [Simple Minds]
2. Flashdance - What a Feeling [Irene Cara]
3. Say Anything - In Your Eyes [Peter Gabriel]
4. Footloose - Footloose [Kenny Loggins]
5. St Elmo’s Fire - St. Elmo’s Fire [John Parr]
6. Back to the Future - The Power of Love [Huey Lewis and the News]

Any additions? Any arguments?
