Vision Quest.
Album is great top to bottom. Terrific lineup too. RJD, Henley, Hagar, Journey. Even a little known artist named Madonna got the soundtrack a #1 hit.
But it's Lunatic Fringe playing while Loudoun Swain warms up before the big match that gets me every time. Not sure that scene can be topped when the song's intro is playing.
Comic book convention where all the nerds dress up.
Back in my day nerds had shame!!
Don’t know anything about that, but that’s cool they have a thing to hang with people who are into comic books and stuff.
Some dressed as characters in the movie, many threw rice at the wedding and used other props. I never went but the cult like following lasted far longer than 10 years. It probably peaked in the mid-80s.
Good call.
Full disclosure: I'm a Dragon Con veteran. Attended DC3 in 1989 at the Omni Hotel.
And since we're on the topic, the awesome animated fantasy film Heavy Metal (1981) deserves a mention in this thread.
It's where all the GaTech folks always were opening weekend of football season. In Atlanta before Covid it was typically the same weekend of the start of the football season. The week long event started off with a parade thru downtown.
Surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but the scores for Star Wars, ET, Indiana Jones, and Superman were all similar and epic. Many of us grew up with that cinematic movie experience.
Forrest Gump & Almost Famous were my top answers.
Superbad has a good soundtrack too.
I mentioned John Williams who did most of those.
@AnotherDawg There are just so many GREAT ones listed here by all of our DawgNation members. My effort then is to add to this thread, and not to detract in any way from any of these greats that have been already mentioned in the posts above. Having said that? Here is one that is an ALL-TIME (to me):
The late, great Whitney Houston was at THE VERY TOP of her game (with THAT VOICE!) for all of the music that she sang in the soundtrack to this movie. Simply brilliant. PS - This is probably my favorite song of hers from the movie, I added the YouTube video link here:
Here's a movie soundtrack that I don't believe has been mentioned and is certainly a blast from the past. Heavy Metal
@AnotherDawg mentioned it in the other thread I believe
Hmm, here's a blast from the past. Back To The Future. Featured Power of Love, probably Huey Lewis and the News greatest hit. Plus some other great songs.
As a side note, my band recently learned Power of Love. And I got to tell you, it's one of the more difficult songs to play that we do.
Just because we can.
