80's MOVIE POP

VA - Life Moves Pretty Fast, The John Hughes Mixtapes [2022] (4 x CDs)

Compilation of music from the movies of legendary filmmaker John Hughes, covering the classic eighties period. For anyone growing up in the 1980s, the films of John Hughes are some of the most iconic of the decade and have created a lasting cultural impact still felt and referenced across TV, film and music. As well as the characters and stories created, what made John Hughes' movies different from the rest was the symbiotic relationship between scene and music. Whether Cameron Frye staring at the painting in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' set to The Dream Academy's 'Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want (Instrumental)', Duckie and Andie from 'Pretty in Pink' at prom set to Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's 'If You Leave', or even Neal and Del's classic 'Those aren't pillows' scene from 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' set to Emmylou Harris' 'Back in Baby's Arms'. Curated by John Hughes' music supervisor Tarquin Gotch, this Limited Deluxe Edition 4CD boxset includes 74 tracks from the movies 'National Lampoon's Vacation', 'Sixteen Candles', 'The Breakfast Club', 'Weird Science', 'Pretty in Pink', 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off', 'Some Kind of Wonderful', 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles', 'She's Having a Baby', 'The Great Outdoors' and 'Uncle Buck'.  (Amazon)

  1. Every period has its own magic. But the 80s were surely a great time to be a teenager.
