7 Amazing Movie Soundtracks

The world of entertainment is a multi-billion-dollar industry today. So much goes into crafting a quality movie, and people often take movie soundtracks for granted. Some important aspects of making good movies include developing a compelling story or script and finding the right cast of actors to execute a believable script performance. Beyond the acting and storytelling, many other things go into making a great movie. Having great visual effects can go a long way in enhancing the telling of a great story. Visual storytelling is a part of moviemaking more than ever. Having a large budget is not essential to creating a good movie. Developing an excellent movie trailer can also make a huge difference. Directors and writers have much more flexibility in what they can achieve if a larger budget allows for more compelling visuals. Among all of these important pieces of movie making, one of the most overlooked pieces is utilizing an excellent soundtrack that pairs perfectly with the movie. Movie Soundtracks and Profitable Movies Some of the most profitable movies ever include “Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, Titanic, Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, and The Lion King.” All of these movies have absolutely phenomenal storytelling and an incredibly talented cast. In addition to the plots and actors, every film mentioned also contains visually spectacular imaging and effects.

A great movie soundtrack is effective because it elevates the overall feeling of the film to the point where fans are hit with multiple sensations. These sensations can make any movie much more memorable.    While a movie franchise like Star Wars or Lord of The Rings contains more of a musical composition than a soundtrack, it’s still magical. Looking at what movies have the best soundtracks, we’re basing the criteria on musical pieces with songs that also made it to mainstream radio and pop culture.
