50 Movie Soundtracks You Need to Listen to (Forbes)

The best movie soundtracks do more than get your toe tapping—they help tell the story of the movie and propel the plot so that you can't imagine the story without the music. Great motion picture soundtracks also share some other things in common. They include a standout song, one that defines the film and is instantly recognizable from just a few notes. The best film scores also can stand on their own as inspiring, catchy or fun by themselves, when people listen to them again and again after watching the movie. This list of the best soundtracks includes films of every genre spanning decades, delivering songs you will enjoy no matter what your taste.
