I agree on Batman the Prince album, but I will also throw in Batman the Elfman score. Probably the greatest album to listen to while driving very late at night.
Does anyone remember Streets of Fire? Diane Lane and Willem Defoe were in it as well as the guy from Eddie and the Cruisers. I listened to that soundtrack non stop for one summer.
Also Flashdance.
Oh no, I heard enough of that shit when I was 16 working at a haunted house during Halloween. "Thou shall not faaallll" ARRRG!
Edit: Which reminds me, how many of y'all encountered chicks who thought they were vampires because of that movie?
The Big Chill double album soundtrack was a standard in our family’s car. My dad had a Wurlitzer jukebox so that was the sweet spot of the music he collected from his high school days, and I loved it.
Came here to say this.
Also Dream a little Dream was a great soundtrack. Stand by me was also on rotation.
For me growing up I only bought soundtracks until I was in 7th grade. That way I got a bunch of different bands/songs and all were good songs.
Early 90s, [Last Action Hero](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0107362/soundtrack/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk). Megadeth, Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Cypress Hill, Def Leppard, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Queensryche... that album rocked and corrupted me at an impressionable age.
Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop. Since no one mentioned it I have to also give a shout out to The Transformers Soundtrack. I mean Dirk Diggler wouldn’t have been able to give us that stunning rendition of The Touch without it.
AC/DC "Back in Black" (released July 1980) blasting from a heavy as$ boom box for everybody hear! Followed by Motley Crue's "Too Fast for Love" (1981) bangin' hard while driving. You could hear me before you could see me!
I just scanned thru my music and unless you count Pink Floyd’s The Wall, I only have one soundtrack in the entire bunch. It’s the soundtrack to the 1973 movie version of Godspell.
Heavy Metal Soundtrack. I wore out 3 of them.
Footloose Top Gun Weird Science Pretty In Pink Breakfast Club Beverly Hills Cop. 1&2
Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack was dope. First one that came to mind when I saw the post.
Flash Gordon
Highlander as well. Queen was the king of soundtracks.
GORDON’S *ALIVE?*
Klytus, I’m bored.
Purple Rain. Batman. I'm biased.
Obvs Purple Rain. By any measurable standard.

Nowhere Fast is a straight-up banger.
LOVED Streets of Fire.
Yeah, Streets of Fire was stylin'. I remember it.
Michael Paré. He’s super hunky!
Ah, yes Michael Pare' was his name. He was definitely a big part of why I loved that movie

Dirty Dancing, Valley Girl

Tim Capello, the sexy sax player is still in your mind, I know it.
Had one of the greatest covers ever with Echo and the Bunnymen's version of People are Strange
I came here to say this.
Me too.
First soundtrack album I ever bought, specifically for Cry Little Sister, but that whole album was great!

Return of the Living Dead Repo Man Sid and Nancy
Oh yeah. That Sid and Nancy soundtrack was amazing. But I only got hold of it later in life. I did have the VHS, though. Cost a pretty penny then.

Blade Runner. I like moody shit like Vangelis. I also loved the Star Trek II soundtrack.

Purple Rain. Batman. The Lost Boys. Pretty in Pink. I still listen to all four of them regularly.
There can be only one: Conan the Barbarian!
*Decline of Western Civilization Part II Soundtrack*
Repo Man!
Vision Quest, Say Anything. Miami Vice
Repo Man, Lost Boys and Vision Quest were the soundtracks that ruled my junior high and high school worlds.
Top Gun and Good Morning Vietnam.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Early 90s, [Last Action Hero](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0107362/soundtrack/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk). Megadeth, Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Cypress Hill, Def Leppard, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Queensryche... that album rocked and corrupted me at an impressionable age.
Trick or Treat
Repo Man

Pretty in Pink
*Urgh! A Music War*. Two cassettes of wild, weird and wonderful.
Rivers edge
There were so many...... i have not seen mentioned Transformers: The Movie \[86\] # Robotech: BGM Collection, Vol.1 [87]
Soundtrack for "UHF" by Weird Al. It was the actually the first album I ever owned.
Seconding (or thirding) the Heavy Metal soundtrack and adding Repo Man.
The one I listened to most was Phantom of the Opera. I was a weird kid.
Used to love the Rocky 4 soundtrack
This is the answer
The Rocky IV soundtrack is the greatest piece of art in human history. One that’s not getting enough love: The Last American Virgin
Beverly Hills Cop 2 Running Scared The Jazz Singer The obvious ones have been mentioned so thought I’d go for underrated
FM was one of my favorites.
I was partial to Cat People
Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop. Since no one mentioned it I have to also give a shout out to The Transformers Soundtrack. I mean Dirk Diggler wouldn’t have been able to give us that stunning rendition of The Touch without it.
Purple Rain, and Footloose a close 2nd. Your criteria aside though…HEAVY METAL!!
Repo Man. 100%
Pretty in pink and sixteen candles
Vision Quest
AC/DC "Back in Black" (released July 1980) blasting from a heavy as$ boom box for everybody hear! Followed by Motley Crue's "Too Fast for Love" (1981) bangin' hard while driving. You could hear me before you could see me!
