That list is too top heavy with show tunes. There's a lot of good Spy/Surf instro missing.  For example, the themes from ENDLESS SUMMER, CASINO ROYALE, PINK PANTHER & A SHOT IN THE DARK.
 
 
 And where is The Words Get Stuck In My Throat from WAR OF THE GARGANTUANS?
 
 Where's the theme from THE GREEN SLIME???
 
 Shit, there's not even Dueling Banjoes!

8 Mile? Is that the Eminem movie?
 
 What about "Chariots of Fire"? It can be heard on any "lighter" listening station 24/7...
 
 No, "Pretty in Pink" or "Breakfast Club" songs?
 
 Man, gotsta represent the 80s.
 
 I'm so happy they didn't put the song from "Mannequin" on here.
