I might be the minority, but Dirty Dancing. Cheesy movie, but I like the song (I've Had) The Time Of My Life.
Metallica and Iron Maiden are Bronies

I haven't seen the movie, but the soundtrack is pretty good, especially "Hungry Eyes", and "She's Like the Wind". I don't know if Patrick Swayze had a music career beyond that, but that song is seriously one of the best I've ever heard from an actor.

I wouldn't say it's a bad movie, but
The Last Temptation of Christ
isn't great. Amazing music though.
Passion
might be Peter Gabriel's best album.

Road House 2 was not as big as the first from what I have read about it, but four songs from my most favorite singer James Otto are played during the film, so I can't help but have an interest in the film. (smiles)
God bless you and James always!!!
Holly
Check out my most favorite singer, James Otto, when you can! I love him SO much!!! (smiles)
