Excellent choices! Perfect films, both. Great songs too

Not popular opinion, but I do like Tom Cruise's covers of Paradise City and Wanted Dead or Alive in Rock of Ages. I noticed a while back rewatching Sky High that I Melt With You is covered at the end by Bowling for Soup instead of Modern English, and they didn't do too bad. Also the music-only rendition of the Smiths' Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want in Ferris Bueller's Day Off really suited the scene and I liked it alot.
