Take My Breath Away is easily the best song ever written by someone who isn't Marky Mark, so obviously it's whichever one that's on (Top Gun?). Not as good as Dirty Dancing, everyone's right. Dirty Dancing has De Todo un Poco on it, and we used to carry on like morons to that, plus it has Jennifer Gray pre-nose job. The ending of She's Like The Wind, where the chick backup singer comes in - fucking classic. "She leads me thru moonlight, only to burn me with the sun" - you tell me who is a better lyricist than Patrick Swayze, unless Patrick Swayze didn't actually write She's Like The Wind.

She's Like The Wind is almost as good as Take My Breath Away. But Take My Breath Away is still way better.

Why is no one mentioning Who's That Girl for fuck's sake?

Footloose wins on hits doesn't it? - had the Loggins Factor years b4 Top Gun, has "Let's Hear it For the Boy" "Holding Out for a Hero" ('he's gonna be strong / and he's gonna be fast / and he'll always be fresh for the fiiiight') and "Almost Paradise"

Footloose sucks. Yes, I'm trying to see how many times I can say (XYZ) sucks before I get my head snapped off.

Yes, "Footloose" has more hits. For some reason, though, I associate all of those songs with the "Top Gun" soundtrack, which means "TG" wins for me. (Also, "Footlose" has "Footlose". Instant loss there; I didn't even like that song when I was a young child who loved everything on the radio.)

the biggest problem with this thread is hardly anyone talked about FLASHDANCE

What a Feeling, He's a Dream, Manhunt, Seduce Me tonight, Romeo, Maniac...it's AWESOME

Footloose-- "Heaven Helps" or whatever is the greatest motivational 80s montage song.
