We’re revisiting the big movie ballads and iconic tunes that were reworked and remixed into hands-in-the-air anthems. With a back-to-back diva playlist that includes Whitney Houston, Madonna, Gloria Estefan and Diana Ross, we’re celebrating the songs that defined a decade of cinema and turned up the heat on the dance floors everywhere.

The Strictly Soundtracks team dive into the rhythm, restless energy and music of Marty Supreme, the new film starring Timothée Chalamet as a ping pong-playing hustler who dreams of being a world champion. Although set in the 1950s, the soundtrack is powered by a collection of 80s synth-pop legends, including New Order, Tears for Fears, and Peter Gabriel.  Like the titular character, the soundtrack is confident, unpredictable, and always one step ahead.
