One of the most important things in the movies is the music. It sets the mood and enhances the experience in to another level. They make daily events, like food shopping, worth watching. Think about it. Going to your boring 9 to 5 office job doesn't seem so tiresome if you have the Rocky theme playing in the backround.

As a 24/7 music listener I have stumbled across such wonderful soundracks that I actually listen to them every day. There are three movies that appear regularly on my mp3 player and they will probably stay there for a long time. These are Becoming Jane, Amelie and Nausicaa. I especially listen to the Becoming Jane soundtrack, since I find it soothing but still inspiring.

Here is a list of soundtrack songs that hit the nail and stuck with me over the years. The list is not based on how the song hits the scene it is played in but it is simply on the fact that I listen to it without actually watching the movie. I also chose songs that don't have lyrics and were composed only for the said movie (FYI it is not a coincidinc that these some of them also happen to be my favourite films)

The Truman Show Soundtrack - 11. Do Something!
by Burkhard Dallwitz & Philip Glass

A really short song, but I am sucker for the drums. 

Becoming Jane - Runaways

By Adrian Johnston

This sweet tune is played when Jane decides to abandon her family and run away with the man she loves. So sappy and sooooooo wonderful

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

By Joe Hisaishi

The movie opens up to little bit of history how mankind destroyed. During the next scene you can see somebody gliding over a beautiful forrest. When I listen to this song I can feel the wind on my hair and imagine myself flying above rivers and hills. Oh that reminds me I have to learn how to use a hang glider.

Amélie - Comptine D'un Autre Etre

By Guillaume Yann Tiersen 

If you have a heart this will touch you.

Up - Married Life

By Michael Giacchino

Although I didn't like the movie as much as I wanted, the soundtrack really stuck with me. Especially the music in this scene. I cry every time I watch it and hear the song.

Lord of the Rings -Felloship of the Ring- Concerning Hobbits

By Howard Shore

I am completely bias when it comes to this movie. I love it and the music in it just because. I think hobbits are cool because they are cute and super chilled and I wish one day I will live in a house with a round door. For me it is the perfect fantasy world and I will always ALWAYS think it is the better than the other two movies. Or books. I have read them so I can tell which is the best: it is the first one. Also the music is amazing and yes, I have listened to it just for funsies. And I would've probably posted the whole soundtrack here if I wouldn't be wanting to share my opinion of the next one:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Peer Pressure

By Jon Brion

It perfectly captures the moment when the main character accepts his past. Sad, too short but still very effective

Paper Heart -  The 11th Arrondissement

Zach Condon & Perrin Cloutier

The last song is the reason for this list. I actually haven't seen this movie but I love the main actress, Charlyne Yi. Long story short, I discovered the soundtrack and now I must see the film.

One more thing: I hate HATE H A T E the violin theme they used in Batman Begins/Batman Returns Again/Inception. The stupid view of the stupid city with a fast violin  and sorta suspense theme is not working. Yes it does set the sinister and action packed mood if used once or twice. After it the same shot has been uses over 5 times it looses its momentum and becomes mundane. For example imagine this song being 2 hours long. That is what those films feel like. Jeeez

So much excitement I think my heart is going to fail. Also so much exciting stuff that I'll forget what happened 5 minutes ago. That is what those films feel like. Jeeez
