Movie soundtracks can really stick with you, you know? Some of them are so good they become famous on their own, not just as part of the movie.
Let's talk about a few of these:
The big classics: John Williams is like the king of movie music. His stuff for Star Wars and Jurassic Park - you hear it and you just know what movie it's from. Same with The Godfather music by Nino Rota. It's old now, but it still gives you chills.
Quentin Tarantino movies have their own thing going on with music. Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill mix up all these different styles, and it just works. It's become Tarantino's signature sound. Danny Elfman did the same thing for Tim Burton movies - you hear that quirky music and you know it's a Burton film.
Sometimes a movie makes a song super famous. Like "I Will Always Love You" from The Bodyguard - that soundtrack sold like crazy. Or how Wayne's World made everyone love "Bohemian Rhapsody" again.
These days, we're still getting great movie music. Hans Zimmer does these huge, mind-bending scores for movies like Inception and Interstellar. And the Black Panther soundtrack was a big deal, mixing hip-hop with African music.
What makes a soundtrack really stand out is when it sticks with you after the movie's over. It should make you feel something and remind you of the movie in a good way.
