Hello,
What do you think of when you hear “Breakfast Club”, “Pretty In Pink”, “Some Kind of Wonderful”, “Sixteen Candles”, “Weird Science”, “Mr. Mom”, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”, “Home Alone” and “Planes, Trains and Automobiles”. If you’re a movie buff or of a certain age-ahem- you most likely think of John Hughes. When I think of John Hughes movies I think of all the great music associated with them.
I’m going to break this into two parts. The first part is the 15 best songs from John Hughes movies not including “Pretty In Pink”. Then to fill out both blogs I’m going to include the best of the rest songs from 80s movies. In this first part the first fifteen songs are from John Hughes movies, the other eight songs are from other 80s movies. Most of these movies are great, but that doesn’t mean all of them are.
