Vote the Rock

BobcatWhat do distortion guitars, electric keyboards, skinny ties, and Chuck Taylors have in common?

That's right - they're all integral components of any self-respecting 1980's movie montage.  As goes without saying, there are two types of 1980's movie montages: 1) training montages (Karate Kid, Rocky, Top Gun, Dirty Dancing, etc.) and 2) all other montages.

This poll is dedicated to #2, only because I feel like that's the more neglected category and, well, it's about time it got a little love.

So bask for a moment in this lost artform and cast your vote for greatest non-training-related 1980's movie montage:

1) Movie: The Secret of My Success
Task: Climbing the corporate ladder
Groove: "I'm Walking On Sunshine", by Katrina and the Waves

2) Movie: Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Task: Hijacking a parade float
Groove: "Danke Schoen/Twist and Shout", by Wayne Newton/The Beatles

3) Movie: One Crazy Summer
Task: Fixing the boat to beat Teddy Beckersted in the Nantucket Regatta
Groove: "Boat Building", by James Di Pasquale

4) Movie: Real Genius
Task: Building Professor Hathaway's super Army laser
Groove: "Number One", by Chaz Jenkal

5) Movie: The Naked Gun
Task: Courting and cavorting with Priscilla Presley
Groove: "I'm Into Something Good", by Herman's Hermits

6) Movie: Ghostbusters
Task: Paranormal extermination, strutting around NY in jumpsuits
Groove: "Ghostbusters", by Ray Parker, Jr.

7) Movie: The Muppet Movie
Task: Disguising a bus by painting it psychedelic colors, thus eluding Doc Hopper
Groove: "Can You Picture That?", by Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem

8) Movie: Back to the Future
Task: Bumper surfing to high school
Groove: "The Power of Love", by Huey Lewis and the News
