Another vote for **The Crow** I played the hell out of that disc.

Also:  
**Say Anything** if only because it was the first time I ever heard Depeche Mode’s _Stripped_

**Pump Up The Volume** crap movie…but most of the soundtrack was awesome.  
**Reality Bites** just saw this again for the first time in a long time and man that movie does not hold up well, but the soundtrack was great.  
**The Mission** another one I played obsessively. The oboe piece floors me every time.  
**Pretty In Pink** a near perfect collection of post-punk/new wave. A genuine time capsule.

_ **The Man With the Golden Arm** _ - I was in high school when I first heard the music from this movie. I never actually saw the movie, though, even though it had Frank Sinatra in it (a big plus to me at the time).
