Rolling Stone's 101 Movies With the Greatest Soundtracks of All Time

"From Elvis gyrating in prison stripes in 'Jailhouse Rock' to Prince putting Apollonia on his bike in 'Purple Rain', rock & roll and movies have been inseparable for nearly 60 years. In making this list, we included soundtrack albums built around original songs (hey, Superfly) as well as expertly curated compilations (I see you, Quentin); some great soundtracks feature fresh tunes, others are killer mixtapes. While great movies & great soundtracks can go hand in hand, sometimes a so-so film is full of historic tunes, so the actual quality of the movie in question wasn't much of a consideration. Before we jump into our list, a couple of caveats. We didn't include any original film scores or musicals. Those are different categories with their own rich histories. We kept it to collections of songs that can stand outside the movie & function on their own as great LPs, staying inextricably embedded in the film they soundtrack while having a life outside of it." - rollingstone.com
