We're aiming for the latter with these bbs. A favorite movie soundtrack is for listening in your car with the window open while you're driving so you can sing along. As my husband likes to say, a favorite movie score is for listening with the windows up while you're driving so you can appreciate the gorgeous sounds and probably cry.

Note: This list doesn't include scores, which are instrumental songs crafted specifically to pair with movie scenes (think: John Williams, Michael Giacchino, Hans Zimmer, and more of the musical greats that beef up our favorite movies). Movie soundtracks = an underrated way to find new music! There's often that one, epic song that the movie's known for-the one that plays over the end credits and sends you out of the movie theater with a smile on your face-but then there are some hidden gems that maybe only got a few lines in the film but are utter bangers in their own right.

The best soundtracks exist outside of the movie, giving you all the feels without all the *drama.* It's like a specially curated mixtape (aka a playlist, duh) from your favorite movie to you.

Not every movie soundtrack has to go as hard as it does.
