(Finished November 21st, 2025) Part 7 of Best Songs From 80s Movies, Soundtracks & Broadway Plays

Hello,

This is the next of many of the greatest songs from 80s movies or Broadway plays. Coincidentally these are also many of the greatest songs of the 80s.

I’m going to mostly focus on the songs that were current with the movies, but I will include a few of the classics that came many years before the movies that they are in. In other words like the classic songs from “The BIg Chill” and “Dirty Dancing”.

From “For Your Eyes Only” 103) Sheena Easton “For Your Eyes Only”:

From “Valley Girl” 104) “The Psychedelic Furs “Love My Way”:
