With The Oscars celebrating the biggest night for film this past Sunday night I wanted to include a post that listed some movies with exceptional soundtracks. I focused today more on compilations rather than original music so listed below, in no particular order, are 10 movies whose soundtracks are great and memorable.
Casino
Kicking off the list is none other than Martin Scorsese’s Casino. This film’s was brilliantly composed of tunes such as The Moody Blues’“Nights in White Satin” to “Go Your Own Way” byFleetwood Mac to the use of The Animals’ famous version of the folk song “House of the Rising Sun” ending the movie with Joe Pesci’s character being gruesomely murdered. The addition of Muddy Waters, B.B. King and Creamamong so many other artists adds in great distinction and variety to the film.
500 Days of Summer
Celebrated graffiti artists 'Heir' and 'Vain' are superstars in the underground world of San Francisco; urban outlaws always on the run. After a clash with the law, they find their lives spinning out-of-control with explosive consequences. Director: Benjamin Morgan Stars: Lane Garrison, Brian Burnam, Luis Saguar, Mackenzie Firgens Votes: 303. Graffiti - From Tags to Riches is a short UK Graffiti Documentary, mainly filmed in Bristol with a few bits from London. Features artist such as Inkie, FLX. The Movie Database (TMDb) is a popular, user editable database for movies and TV shows.
The thing that I liked the most about500 Days of Summer was that each music piece fit so well with the situation at hand. From the hopeful “Us” by Regina Spektor to the bittersweet melody “Bookends” by Simon and Garfunkel that brings a manly tear to the eye, this movie’s soundtrack is energetic and well thought out. Not to mention dancing to Hall & Oates’“You Make My Dreams Come True” is always a plus.
Goodfellas

What I love about this soundtrack is how the music, along with the story, transitions through the the 50s, 60s and 70s through its music. “Rags to Riches” performed by Tony Bennett basically sums up the main goal of the protagonist. Mixing and snorting coke to “Gimme Shelter” shows the wildness of the 60s and there’s nothing like witnessing the discoveries of characters’ bodies who got whacked to the serene ending of Derek and the Dominos’“Layla”.
Almost Famous
This movie is based in probably the height and unfortunately the last great decade of rock and roll which explains the great use of Led Zeppelin, Yes, and David Bowie while also mixing in The Seeds and The Who. Nancy Wilson, guitarist of Heart, was in charge of the film’s soundtrack and couldn’t have picked a better song than Elton John’s“Tiny Dancer” to bring in a sense of harmony after a scene of uncertainty.
American Graffiti
This soundtrack includes 41 hits from artists ranging from The Beach Boys to Fats Domino and classic “Johnny B. Goode”by Chuck Berry. Starting off with “Rock Around the Clock” by Bill Haley & His Comets as a good introduction to what 1950s American music consisted off and paves the way for other classics like “16 Candles” by The Crests, “That’ll Be the Day” by Buddy Holly and the sultry “Love Potion No. 9” by The Clovers.

Kill Bill
This film is full of tunes that people have heard so often and probably don’t even know the names of them. For example you have “Twisted Nerve” by Bernard Herrmann, or known better as the whistle song or the siren that goes on when Uma is about to battle it out with an enemy which is actually called “Ironside” by Quincy Jones. Probably one of my favorite scenes has to be O-Ren Ishii’s backstory with the animation and action, but the addition of Luis Bacalov’s“Il Grande Duello” gives sympathy towards O-Ren for what she has gone through and at the same time ads in a sort of spaghetti western “badassery”.
Dazed and Confused

Who can forget Alice Cooper’s“No More Mr. Nice Guy” playing while upperclassmen gave a paddlin’ to freshmen in slow motion? Set in the 70s, Dazed and Confused had to integrate greats such as Ted Nugent, Kiss, and obviously Black Sabbath.
Pulp Fiction

What better way is there to introduce the title of your film than to Dick Dale’s epic “Misirlou”? Quentin Tarantino knows what he’s doing when adding music to his films. He understands that it’s a very important detail to not overlook and Pulp Fiction is a prime example of this idea. Tarantino knows how to pair a certain song with a scene that can reflect the opposite message of the song or emphasize the scene such as using Urge Overkill’s version of Neil Diamond’s “Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon” for Uma Thurman’s infamous drug overdose scene.
