Sometimes, the best soundtracks are in movies which are ABOUT the music:
La Bamba
The Buddy Holly Story
That Thing You Do
Bohemian Rhapsody
Walk the Line
The Blues Brothers
Other movies are just not the same without the music that drives it:
Halloween
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Star Wars
The Godfather
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Superman
Rocky
Jaws
Back to the Future
Then there are the musicals, some with original songs, and others that incorporate already popular songs:
Moulin Rouge
The Wedding Singer
All That Jazz (Roy Scheider)
Chicago
The Music Man
The Wizard of Oz
The Sound of Music
Singin' in the Rain
Grease
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
And, of course, there are the animated movies:
Frozen
The Little Mermaid
Moana
The Lion King
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Any additions, subtractions, other categories?
Thoughts and opinions on what you think are best or worst in these lists?
Someone mentioned recently that music is not a big part of his life. I think whether it's movies, TV, commercials, radio ads, or celebratory events, music is what makes it special, and what will bring back memories when a song we hear reminds us of them.
I think music is a big part of our lives whether or not we appreciate it.
