COME MY LOVE, I'LL TELL YOU A TALE: Up there with the films of John Hughes as a shared cultural memory from the 80s has to be The Princess Bride, which got a total of one Oscar nomination, for the original song "Storybook Love," where it was nominated against "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" from Mannequin, "Shakedown" from Beverly Hills Cop II, and winner "I've Had The Time Of My Life" from Dirty Dancing. The song's composer and singer, Willy DeVille, apparently died last night of pancreatic cancer.
