Vote the Rock
What 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:
