After a career marked by movies whose soundtracks featured diehard classics, it’s no surprise that John Cusack delivered a nonstop selection of bangers for this filmabout a Chicago record shop owner, which the actor helped adapt from the Nick Hornby novel of the same name. Cusack’s eclectic tastes are well-represented in the film, as characters nam...
Mary Harron’s adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s American Psycho offered a revelatory portrait of toxic masculinity and vapid consumerism, which she paired with a collection of songs that condensed ‘80s pop, rock, and hip-hop into a buffet of best offerings. In addition to John Cale’s performance of an elegant, piano-driven score, the official sound...
Gina Prince-Blythewood’s tribute to all the young women who’d rather play sports than subscribe to outdated gender stereotypes was itself a masterpiece. But the songs on its soundtrack charted a progression into adulthood that transcended jams of the jock or any other particular variety. Its use of then-contemporary artists such as Lucy Pearl, Done...
Sofia Coppola’s directorial debut adapted Jeffrey Eugenides’s novel of the same name with a tenderness and hypnotic immediacy, amplified by the one-two punch of a score by French band Air and a soundtrack featuring some of the biggest and best hits of 1970s AM radio.

It would be a crime to exclude one of cinema's greatest music lovers, Cameron Crowe, from a list of soundtracks in virtually any decade in which he was active. But it’s easy to recognize the more than semi-autobiographical Almost Famousas his magnum opus, and its soundtrack more than keeps pace with its intimacy and specificity. Sure, there are the...
Whatever you may have thought of Lars von Trier’s minimalist approach to telling stories on film, he created an undeniable triumph with this weird, mechanical, beautiful musical featuring songs composed and created by Björk. Utilizing diegetic sounds from the spaces the characters in the film occupy, von Trier and Björk still somehow conjure a Tech...
The Coen Brothers had already proven themselves skillful chameleons before this film was released, but their Depression-era semi-musicalmade them chart-toppers as well. Enlisting T-Bone Burnett to create a collection of songs that were either covers of or inspired by songs from the time in which the movie was set. They captured an unforgettable mom...

To some extent, this partic...
Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont’s big-screen adaptationof the Archie comic and Hanna-Barbera series of the same name took its time achieving cult status after a rough run at the box office. The film’s soundtrack, however, employed a murderers' row of pop, punk, and pop-punk luminaries, from Babyface to Letters From Cleo to Matthew Sweet. The result...
A close runner-up for this film’s title of “postmodern masterpiece of the decade” goes to Brian Helgeland’s A Knight’s Tale, which utilized a string of jock jams for the soundtrack to its Medieval-set, coming of age, rom-com period piece, but Baz Luhrmann handily mesmerized audiences worldwide with this Parisian-set jukebox musicalabout a hungry yo...
- U2: 'Beautiful Day' (2000) Although "Beautiful Day" was not U2's biggest hit on initial release, peaking "only" at No. 21, it has not gone away since. Pretty good for a band that formed 24 years before its release.
- P!nk: 'Get the Party Started' (2001) The lead party song of the decade was written by Linda Perry during a period in which she was trying to learn to program drums.
- Britney Spears: 'Toxic' (2004) "Toxic" brought Britney Spears back to the pop top 10 for the first time in four years when it looked like her success was fading.
- Aaliyah: 'Try Again' (2000) Late summer 2001 saw the tragic loss of 22-year-old singer and actress Aaliyah in a plane crash. Her No. 1 pop hit "Try Again" is arguably her finest moment and has the distinction of being the first song to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 purely because of radio airplay.
May 24, 2022 · We got rock hits like Simon & Garfunkel's "America," The Who's "Sparks," Led Zeppelin's "That's the Way," and Cat Stevens' "The Wind." Each song broadens the scope of Stillwater's journey as a legitimate band. But the best and most unusual addition is Elton John's "Tiny Dancer."
- Jonny Greenwood – Phantom Thread. Since their first work together in 2007, There Will Be Blood, Jonny Greenwood and Paul Thomas Anderson have been building up a partnership in the likes of Bernard Herrmann and Alfred Hitchcock, in which movies and soundtracks are almost an indistinct unity, given the level of synchronicity and dialogue between them.

- RZA – Ghost Dog. Jim Jarmusch’s take on Jean Claude Melville’s Le Samourai is a movie that talks about ancient cultures and values. Transposing the Samurai story to a 90’s urban environment, Jarmusch chose Wu Tang Clan’s member RZA, a notorious enthusiast of Buddhist and Taoist values, to compose the soundtrack.
- Serge Gainsbourg – Le Pacha. Gainsbourg composed many soundtracks in his career, but none could reach the same level of quality as his albums. Of course, the movies themselves were not masterpieces; he frequently worked as a composer for kitsch erotic French movies, especially in the 70s.
