Top 10 Movie Soundtracks

Top 10 Movie Soundtracks

If you have ever wondered what some of the most celebrated movies would be without their sound tracks, imagine watching Godfather without the haunting melody in the background or what would have become of Sound of Music. We give credit to one of the most under-appreciated components of a movie by compiling a list of the top ten most popular movie original sound tracks.

10. Saturday Night Fever

Till Saturday Night Fever, disco was considered as mere kitsch but John Travolta and his dancing shoes provided us all with enough reason to participate in the new fever and to dance. And of course for ‘Stayin’ Alive!’




9. Sound of Music

Let’s start from the very beginning! With drama, romance and a solid star cast, this movie might still have been a success but the original songs of the movie have propelled it into history. Who cannot help seek comfort in ‘My Favorite Things’ or can resist the playfulness of ‘I am sixteen, going on seventeen’?




8. Grease


While you might find a multitude of John Travolta fans that still cannot watch Grease, the soundtracks are still like an anthem to them. You are going to listen to Olivia Newton-John crooning ‘Hopelessly Devoted to You’ for a long time to come.




7. O Brother Where Art Thou?


Suddenly amidst all the contemporary modern sounds, you come across this movie with highly original, bluegrassy theme to its music. With equal contributions from newcomers and industry veterans, the heartfelt rendition of ‘Man of Constant Sorrow‘ is bound to move you.



6 The Graduate


The Graduate was of course all about introducing the innocent youth to a whole new world but it did so with its music as well. With ‘Scarborough Fair and ‘The Sound of Silence’, an entire new generation grew up listening to and revering the sounds of Simon and Garfunkel.
