You’ve Got The Touch: Own The Transformers: The Movie Steelbook This Monday – Cult Classic 80s Movie Soundtracks


09 December 2016

Backcombed hair and skin-tight clothes. Epic guitar solos and incredible voices. The 80's is considered one of the greatest eras in film and music history. Amongst some of the more recognsied greats sits a little gem. The Transformers: The Movie is renowned for its soundtrack and incredible voice cast that brought the film to life, including famous tracks from Stan Bush 'Dare' and the now legendary, 'The Touch'.

There are so many 80s classics that set the benchmark for soundtrack quality, and yet shamefully The Transformers: The Movie is overlooked far too often.

To rectify this, we'll be taking you back through the films that symbolise the 80s and why The Transformers deserves to be amongst them...

 

 

Back To The Future
‘Back to the Future’ is one of the greatest films ever made and the soundtrack gives it a remarkably competitive edge, with one particular track that has gone on to influence generations of music and film lovers. 'Johnny B. Goode' may be the most well known track from the film but Huey Lewis' 'Power of Love' and 'Back in Time' are deservedly more significant in ranking BTTF as an all time great.

 

 

The Breakfast Club
One of John Hughes' finest creations, The Breakfast Club, featuring one of the most reminisced tracks, 'Don’t You (Forget About Me'. This particularly inspirational song by Simple Minds leads Judd Nelson (John Bender) off our screens like a champion with a throw of his fist into the air. It brings the film to a sentimental feel-good spirit and the soundtrack has a big role to play.

 

 

Dirty Dancing
Next stop, Dirty Dancing, without this film we would’ve never seen Jennifer Gray jumping into the arms of heart-throb Patrick Swayze to the sound of 'Time Of My Life'. Imagine the sort of life you would lead without that, gives me shivers just thinking about it. The song is brimming with romance as well as epitomising 80s feel-good dance music. Overall it’s a must see, even if you just catch the dance scene, it’ll leave you thinking now is the right time to give in your notice and pursue a career in ballroom dancing.

 

 

The Blues Brothers
As the follow-up album to 'Briefcase Full of Blues' the second album also served as the basis for John Landis' cult classic road trip movie starring Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi. Set to a scorching soundtrack featuring rhythm and blue classics and soul spinners such as 'She Caught the Katy', 'Gimme Some Lovin' and 'Everybody Needs Somebody to Love' The Blues Brothers made a serious impact on the film and music scene. Very few films achieve such a unique sound/on-screen complement, apart from The Transformers of course.

 

 

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
John Hughes strikes again in this hilarious teen comedy about a rebellious teenage boy in the height of his ‘I’m always right’ years who bunks off school for a day. What could have been a boring day at school becomes a day full of adventures and rebellion. One particular scene that captures the brilliant absurdity of the film is when Bueller gate crashes a parade and contributes to the soundtrack with an amazing rendition of 'Twist and Shout' which gets the audience up and dancing along, with French horns, trumpets and bums wiggling all over the place, the scene is sure to make you wish you were back in the 80s. Ooooh yeah, chica chicaa.
