listening to movie soundtracks (on repeat, pretending my life is as just as interesting and I'm not just walking to the bus), is defs a guilty pleasure of mine.

In terms of soundtracks (not including musicals), Harry Potter is iconic. Also really like the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, Edward Scissorhands and the Jungle Book (particularly the instrumental opening, when they made the remake they used the exact same soundtrack as the original opening, and i literally teared up the nostalgia was real). The Game of the Thrones soundtrack is also fab - 'In the Light of the Seven' being the standout. The Battle Royale soundtrack (Japanese film with a pretty similar plot line to the Hunger Games) is also really good.

For songs with actual lyrics, most Disney films because they're great but also for nostalgia - Lion King, Robin Hood (Not in Nottingham cover by Mumford and sons is blessed), Aristocats, Beauty and the Beast, are probs my faves though. Toy Story's 'You've got a Friend in Me' and 'When She Loved Me' are great songs. 'Pure Imagination' from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is probably one of the most beautiful songs of all time. Tim Burton's 'A Nightmare before Christmas' and 'The Corpse Bride' have great soundtracks as well!

Probably took this a bit far but yay soundtracks <3

After analysing the film ‘Billy Elliot’ for an ENTIRE term in English class, I’ve learned to love its soundtrack. Some of my favourites from the soundtrack have to be: Cosmic Dancer, I Love to Boogie, Children of the Revolution (used this as evidence in my essays for my trial and HSC exam and the more I write about it, the more I love it!) and Bang a Gong (Get It On).
Which will hold greater rule over you? Your fear or your curiosity?

A while ago I bought off iTunes an album called the Classic 100 in the Movies which is basically a selection of the best 'classical style' music in movies, and it brought to my attention a new favourite: Gabriel's Oboe, from The Mission. I've now listened to it way too often, but still love it.

All of these are great but we are seriously lacking in Tarantino soundtracks! I grew up listening to the Kill Bill soundtracks and Django Unchained is pretty awesome too! Ennio Morricone is an incredible composer!

If you include TV shows, the soundtracks from Game of Thrones and Westworld are amazing. Ramin Djawadi is a genius. Favourite would have to be ‘Light of the Seven’ from the trial scene in S6 E10 of GoT.

Ahhh yes! I love the GOT and Westworld soundtracks! The Handmaid's Tale one is also amazing!
