Top 5 Tuesday: The Sound of Movies

This week’s Top 5 Tuesday at Supernanny Where Are You? is all about movie soundtracks – you know when you are watching a movie thinking, “My gosh this music is incredible?” I know I do this all the time – so here are the 5 movies off the top of my head that have the greatest soundtracks:

  1. Phantom of the Opera – I think the music in this movie is better than the movie itself, at least the recent one by Andrew Lloyd Webber – it’s one of mine and dh’s favorite movies, and we always end up getting the music stuck in our heads for weeks afterwards…
  2. Garden State – I actually listen to the Garden State soundtrack all the time and love it – it’s very indie rock / folky and all the different artists are so good. I think my favorite is probably ‘Only Living Boy in New York’ by Simon and Garfunkle but the whole thing is excellent.
  3. Juno – The only thing better than the movie Juno, was the soundtrack. I especially love that song, “We sure are cute for two ugly people…” – oh the song is called ‘Anyone Else But You’ and it’s by the Moldy Peaches but I like Ellen Page and Michael Cera singing it even better. And again, I always get that soundtrack stuck in my head.
  4. Chicago – Cell Block Tango, All That Jazz, Razzle Dazzle – the music IS the movie and both are so, so good! A lot like Phantom of the Opera I guess in that it kind of started with the musical and was turned into a movie later so obviously the music is great, but yeah there you go…
  5. Across the Universe – Being born in the 80’s, I can say I love the Beatles, but you know I can only love them so much, having never seen them in their hayday, but this movie made the music come alive for me in an awesomely unreal kind of way. And now I love the Beatles in a whole new amazing way. And yeah of course the soundtrack is amazing – how could it not be?

So what are you’re Top 5 Movie Soundtracks?

    Again with a bunch of movies I’ve never seen. I have seen Juno and loved it. You got me on all the rest. I have seen Chicago on almost everyone’s list, so I guess it’s a must see. Thanks for joining in!
