THE MOST ESSENTIAL

MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS

For decades, songs and movies have been matched. The most successful are effective tools, cross-promoting both the music and the film in which they are featured; giving one or both longevity. Here are 50 Motion Picture Soundtrack Albums that evoke memories of the films they appeared in. The criteria was to include only movie soundtracks which consisted largely of new material, rather than a compilation of older songs or remakes.

M ETROPOLIS

1984

The 1927 science fiction film directed by Fritz Lang was restored and a new soundtrack was commissioned. Giorgio Moroder helmed the project. The LP featured new songs by some of the biggest pop artists of the early 1980s: Freddie Mercury, Pat Benatar, Loverboy, Bonnie Tyler, Adam Ant and Loverboy.
