Soundtracks occasionally define certain moments in film, some of them so perfectly becoming a part of the movie that they melt in the backgroud, but not in a bad way. We’re talking here about the songs used for soundtracks and their compilations, we’re saving best original music for another day. Here are eleven of the most perfect movie soundtracks.
1. Donnie Darko
From the amazing Duran Duran, Notorious to the brilliant Mad World, Darko is certainly top of the favourite soundtrack lists.

Mundy’s To You I Bestow, Radiohead’s Talk Show Host and #1 Crush from Garbage are just some of the gems on this soundtrack.

It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well…
