THE TEN BEST LOVE SONGS ON AN EIGHTIES MOVIE SOUNDTRACK

10 ‘Almost Paradise’, by Mike Reno and Ann Wilson, from Footloose

The song from when the kids are waiting for the prom to start. A classic eighties duet.

9 ‘It Might Be You’, by Stephen Bishop, from Tootsie

One giant cheese mountain of a song, and that is no bad thing.

8 ‘Let’s Hear it for the Boy’, by Deniece Williams, from Footloose

Everything about this song, including the spelling of the singer’s name, is adorable.

7 ‘I Melt With You’, by Modern English, from Valley Girl

This song should be better known. The movie, on the other hand, should not.

6 ‘Hungry Eyes’, by Eric Carmen, from Dirty Dancing

Quality keyboard intro, bonus points for use in the best montage of the decade.

5 ‘Take My Breath Away’, by Berlin, from Top Gun

This song is so good it makes having sex with Tom Cruise seem almost sexy.

4 ‘(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life’, by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes, from Dirty Dancing

It is a testament to the quality of love songs from eighties films that this classic is not at number one.

3 ‘Waiting for a Star to Fall’, by Boy Meets Girl, from Mannequin

Terrible film, amazing song from the best one-hit-wonder band of all time.

2 ‘In Your Eyes’, by Peter Gabriel, from Say Anything

The most beautiful song in the world, and that is a scientific fact.

1 ‘She’s Like the Wind’, by Patrick Swayze, from Dirty Dancing

Patrick Swayze sang AND wrote this little piece of genius. Obviously it’s number one.
