 | Thumbsucker by Elliott Smith Tim De Laughter and the Polyphonic Spree
Buy new: £10.48 / Used from: £4.75 Excellent soundtrack to Mike Mills' underappreciated indie flick. Features some exclusive Elliot Smith tracks recorded just before his death in 2003.

 | Forrest Gump (Special Collector's Edition) by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £4.03 / Used from: £3.49 Whether you love it or hate it, this film has a killer soundtrack. Fantastic driving music, and 36 tracks means that by the finish you've forgotten what was at the start!
|
 | Platoon - Original Soundtrack by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £2.11 / Used from: £0.89 What soundtrack list would be complete without a mention of this? The tremendous film about the Vietnamese War was made by a soundtrack to fit the times.
|
 | Reservoir Dogs by Soundtrack
Buy new: £3.66 / Used from: £0.79 Tarantino could have a list dedicated to his soundtracks, but I went for this one because every time I hear the opening bars of Stealer's Wheel, I think of THAT scene.
|
 | Let It Be by The Beatles
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £5.71 Not strictly a soundtrack, as the film was about this album, not the other way round. For me though, it is one of the best Beatles albums there is. Remind yourself what it's supposed to sound like.
|
 | American Beauty by Various Artists
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £2.74 Another film with a whole load of classic tracks on. The stand out for me was Gomez 'We Haven't Turned Around'.
|
 | Vanilla Sky by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £3.94 / Used from: £2.99 A mind-bending film with a soundtrack to go with it. A mixture of new tracks and classics. McCartney's title track was nominated for both and Oscar and a Grammy.
|
 | Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory by Leslie Bricusse Anthony Newley
Buy new: £3.97 / Used from: £3.16 Classic kids' soundtrack, but underneath it is a host of well structured and memorable songs.
|
 | Ocean's Eleven by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £1.59 / Used from: £0.45 Full of floor-fillers. Aside from the movie dialogue, it would make a grand party CD. Buy it and have a world of music opened up to you.
|
 | A Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince Guaraldi
Buy new: £11.91 / Used from: £2.77 Basically a CD of jazzed up versions of Christmas tunes. Guaraldi is a master of his genre and really understands how to make it work. Re-released with some bonus tracks, so represents a bargain!!!
|
 | Trainspotting Vol 1 by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £4.49 / Used from: £0.01 Most of the songs on here were done especially for the film, but the way they work with the classics makes it one to listen to over and over again. Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' is one which stands out.
|
 | O Brother, Where Art Thou? by Various Artists
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £3.16 Worth the money just for the main song 'I'm a man of constant sorrow'.

![Stand By Me: Original Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31GMS9NHDBL._SL75_.jpg) | Stand By Me: Original Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK] by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £3.18 / Used from: £1.25 Short but sweet. Listen to this on a rainy day to reminisce about the film, then reminisce about what the film made you reminisce about. Genius.
|
 | The Jungle Book by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.50 Be it 'Colonel Hathi's March', 'The Bare Necessities' or 'I Wan'na Be Like You', they're all classics.The one Disney soundtrack without a weak song on it.
|
 | Head by The Monkees
Buy new: £4.63 / Used from: £3.99 A bit of a weird one, but probably their only album of note. I'm lead to believe that the whole project was them sticking it to the man. An unexpected treat.
|
 | High Fidelity by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £8.99 If you loved either the film or the book, then you'll dig this. It pronounces on the front 'Featuring The Jam, Stereolab, Stevie Wonder and other top 5 favourites'. Indeed.
|
 | City of God (Cidade De Deus) by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.99 If Brazilian funk and soul isn't your thing, then pick this up and be ready for conversion!!!
