    1984's soundtracks:

    Purple Rain
    Streets of Fire
    Footloose

    That's three desert island discs right there.

    I also read somewhere that the soundtracks for Top Gun and Dirty Dancing are among the best-selling of all-time.

    No doubt. The Dirty Dancing soundtrack was a slow-building monster. Released in summer '87, kept churning hits out well into '88.

    If I'm on a desert island, the soundtrack to Footloose might be enough for me to cook and eat my own leg.

    The movie itself may be the most unintentionally funny movie ever made, though.

    While Fenian is way off-base in his attack on the genius of Footloose :D Ragu is right. What a piece of schlock that is.

    "Hey I've got a great idea! A movie about a town where kids can't dance! And--here's the plot twist no one will see coming--dancing was outlawed because THE SON OF THE PREACHER WAS KILLED IN A CAR WRECK AFTER DANCING!!!"

    I think Ren's buddy used anabolic steroids, too.

    The montage of Kevin Bacon teaching Chris Penn how to dance to Let's Hear It For the Boy makes me want to look away... but I can't.

    Not sure about Ren, but Ariel's ex sure seemed to have roid rage issues.
