"A dream of sweet illusion"

Before "Wayne's World", Queen were the soundtrack to the movies of my youth - Flash Gordon, Highlander, and Iron Eagle. Each of them spectacularly cheesy in their own special way. It's funny because today I still hear "Flash Gordon" every time Tom Gordon enters a game for the Phillies (note: not often now as he is on the DL). Of the songs recorded for these various cinematic treats, I think the best utilized song is "One Vision" from Iron Eagle. Revel in the Extended Mix and remember the days when Louis Gossett, Jr. was a bad ass.
