movies/music

With a classic movie comes several other important components: the cinematography, the actors, the script. But there's also the soundtrack that affects the sequence of the movie, amongst other things. The specific selection of a song can make an impact for the opening scene of a particular movie, for instance.

This site lists a blogger's opinion on the "greatest" top 25 movie soundtracks of all time. The choices range from Trainspotting (including New Order, Iggy Pop) to Star Wars (well, of course, who doesn't like the original theme song) to Grease.

I don't know for anyone else, but I consider music one of the most important "artforms" out there, and with movies being a grand form of entertainment, they easily go hand in hand. It just makes me appreciate the creativity of things more.
