music flick picks

I love movie soundtracks. They often serve as excellent introductions to new bands or artists. There are also soundtracks, such as Dazed and Confused, that successfully compile amazing hit songs from decades past.

I have an obsessive tendency to run home after seeing a movie to seek out songs I've heard during the flick. So when I discover that there is an entire SOUNDTRACK full of the songs I've just heard, a surge of adrenaline and excitement courses through my veins. I then enter into a full blown love affair with my new found treasures.



Below is a list of my top 12 ( I couldn't stop at 10 ) movie soundtracks - #1 being my most favorite.

1. Laurel Canyon

2. Clueless

3. Dazed and Confused

4. Garden State

5. Forrest Gump



6. Dumb and Dumber

7. King Pin

8. Crazy Beautiful

9. Biodome (I'm not even kidding)

10. Cruel Intentions

11. Blue Crush

12. Empire Records
