Movie soundtracks are our most favorite kind of album. Boasting a collection of different artists and songs, the nostalgic in us might say that movie soundtracks have grown to become the soundtrack of our lives. We can all recall the feeling we felt when we heard these movie-themed songs pumping through the speakers. There is just something about a good movie soundtrack that keeps us sunny in this dreary world.
Without further ado, here are the most iconic soundtracks of all time.
