There are tracks omitted probably for budget reasons - The Beatles 'Twist & Shout' from Ferris Beuller, The Smiths' 'Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want' from Pretty in Pink, not to mention Psychedelic Furs' title track) but none of those are particularly hard to find. Life Moves Pretty Fast does not have everything. I wrote this up back when it was announced and here's part of it: This compilation - available in a variety of editions, big and bigger - does a good job of correcting that, and is a real white whale release for John Hughes fans. Unfortunately the actual soundtrack albums for Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles and others didn't always have the best songs that were in the films. 'As always, we went for passion over popularity.' That's John Hughes in the press release for the Some Kind of Wonderful soundtrack, but it sums up the approach he brought to choosing the music for his films which are some of the most beloved of the '80s.

John Hughes fans finally get the soundtracks they deserve - mostly - with this collection that mixes hits with long-sought-after rarities Various Artists - Life Moves Pretty Fast: The John Hughes Mixtapes (Demon)

A wonderful time up there lyrics
