Our Favourite Movie Soundtracks Of All Time

Every year when Oscars season rolls around, I wonder why there are so many categories. I mean, do we really need Best Original Score AND Best Original Song? Couldn't Best Sound Editing just get a discreet, pre-show shoutout? How's a movie fan to grab some shut-eye?

But as anyone who has ever sat through the last two minutes of Star Wars without the rousing theme can tell you, music is crucial to the magic of films. A good soundtrack is an art — one well worth disrupting your beauty sleep once a year. Movies with the best movie soundtracks become better movies because of it.

Can you imagine The Sound of Music without the movie soundtrack of Julie Andrews' delightful interludes? Or Titanic without Celine Dion? And where would Dirty Dancing be without "Time of My Life"? (Nowhere: Take away the music, and all you're left with is a very awkward Jennifer Grey trying to seduce a very earnest Patrick Swayze.)

So, grab those headphones and join us on a musical journey through some of the best movie soundtracks of all time.
