that wasn't demi moore you imbecile - that was ally sheedy go AWAY! you are such a pathetic loser. I don't know how you managed to get un-ignored .... a problem I will rectify shortly, but as long as I saw that I might as well clear it up for you. Ally Sheedy was Judd Nelson's girlfriend who then slept with McCarthy(sp?) after she and Nelson had one of their spats. Demi Moore was the coke sniffing tramp who was shacking up with Rob Lowe (I think was his name) in an on-again off-again relationship. He was the one I was talking about. Moore was the one that I thought was hot. Now if you lilke Sheedy better, then that's fine and dandy, but I was definitely talking about Demi Moore. Back to ignore you go ....

You're all nuts. Andie MacDowell was CLEARLY the hottest one of the bunch. Though I was disappointed to see that her character's name was Dale Biberman, not Dale Beaverman.
Returning to the topic at hand (you can all but guarantee a derailment of a thread when a certain HFG posts), the St. Elmo's Fire soundtrack is actually full of terrifyingly inspirational 80's songs.
But as far as inspirational 80s songs from Brat Pack movies go, I think Don't You (Forget About Me) definitely belongs on the list right alongside Man in Motion. Perhaps there needs to be a companion list of unbelievably sentimental inspirational 80's songs. Indeed, you could probably base that whole list on one-hit-wonders that are associated with a major 80's movie.

I have a love/hate relationship with John Hughes' soundtracks.
On the one hand, he picked really, really good 80s bands for his soundtracks: Oingo Boingo, OMD, Psychedelic Furs, Altered Images, Flesh For Lulu, hell, even The Smiths (or at least a cover of The Smiths).
Not at all one hit wonders. Not even Simple Minds, who had a lot of other really good songs.
But, on the downside, Hughes universally picked the absolute worst songs from these bands to use in his movies. Really Editeded me off.

From Simple Minds come Simple Products Not sure what this means. I did a search for "simple minds" and "simple products" and came up with this: babybushtoys.com/products.htmlVery funny stuff.

From Simple Minds come Simple Products Not sure what this means. I did a search for "simple minds" and "simple products" and came up with this: babybushtoys.com/products.htmlVery funny stuff. That was a phrase that a good friend of mine said when someone asked his opinion of Simple Minds. He is pretty much of a music afficianado. He has been in numerous bands and graduated with a music degree from Alabama. He now owns a record label in Nashville. Anyway, the point is that he has pretty much always been very interested in music, so his opinion is generally valued a bit more than yours or mine would have been. A couple of friends of mine were arguing about how good/not good Simple Minds were and they asked him what he thought. Whether or not it was really his opinion or just a funny saying that happened to roll out, I doubt I will ever know. But during the early 80's, the electronics company Sharp had an ad campaign with the slogan "From Sharp Minds, come Sharp Products." So in the context of that conversation, when he said: "From Simple Minds come Simple Products," it was both quite aprepos and hilarious.
