I have a thing for movie soundtracks. I love how eclectic they are, how I can discover new artists, and relive a movie's plot. Some soundtracks are better than the movies themselves, which is funny. Here are a few of my favorite soundtracks:
Garden State: Zach Braff has amazing taste in music and he picked every song on this album. It's mellow and great when you want to chill.
Never Been Kissed: This is a spunky album that always takes me back to each scene of the movie. The ballpark scene is spectacular.
Little Women: A great Christmas album or just something sweet and mellow. Safe for all ages.
Walk the Line: The only Johnny Cash that I have and he isn't even doing the singing. Lots of good rhythms. Go Joaquin and Reese!
Love Actually: Another good Christmas album, silly, mushy.
You've Got Mail: Cheery. Great "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
Ten Things I Hate About You: Rebellious music. Gotta love it.
Next Stop Wonderland: Lots of amazing Brazilian music.
Empire Records: A movie about people you just want to be friends with. Sort of. Punk music.
Strictly Ballroom: Ballroom dancing music. Super fun.
Music And Lyrics: Great faux 80's music, mushy. Just plain good.
Singin' In the Rain: "Make `Em Laugh" does me in every time!!!
Catch & Release: Mushy goodness. Love and loss.
Juno: Indy fun, awesome lyrics. Not for your grandma.
Honorable mention:
Mary Poppins
Mansfield Park
Ever After
City of Angels
Reality Bites
Fiddler on the Roof
Spamalot
Chicago

Well, maybe not YOUR Grandma, but this grandma loved the "Juno" soundtrack.
Okay, okay. Catharine, I don't think of you as a grandma-type. You're too hip. My grandmas would have been upset listening to that music. Now, Polka!!!
Great list! I just made a copy to take to the library.
