This is one of the best soundtracks from the 80s. It's almost as if John Hughes made the mix especially for YOU. Included are songs like Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark "If You Leave," New Order "Shell Shock" and the re-recorded version of Psychedelic Furs "Pretty in Pink" — the song that inspired the movie.
