Top 10 Movie Soundtracks

5. 2001: A Space Odyssey

Stanley Kubrick married his twenty-first century, spectacularly imaginative science-fiction movie with beautifully reworked pieces of nineteenth century music, creating a musical masterpiece. Just listen to ‘The Blue Danube’ and you will never be able to listen to it without thinking of the wonders of outer space.




4. Purple Rain

Despite the eccentricities in his personal life, no one can deny the musical genius that is Prince. These famous musical skills are brought to the fore in Purple Rain and so is his legendary showmanship. You can get a glimpse of his immense range from the funky ‘When Doves Cry’ to the ballad ‘Purple Rain’.




3. The Dark Knight


Yes, was again another art rock bands that experimented with a lot of progressive music. Chris Squire? dynamic and melodic bass playing, in fact, contributed a lot to the popularity of this music.
If Heath Ledger made evil come alive through his portrayal of ‘The Joker’, the menacing soundtrack seems to add an extra evil dimension to his character. Listen to ‘Why So Serious’ and you will see what a good job it does in introducing the character to you.




2. The Godfather

You would expect the soundtrack of a movie like The Godfather to have a wham-wham quality to it. Instead you get one that is described as mournful by some and haunting by others. Used in almost all scenes that parody or pay homage to The Godfather, this single tune manages to capture the deep pathos in this family drama.
