It is worth noting that the list does not include soundtracks composed of original scores or musicals, which fall into different categories. Here, the choice was for collections of songs that manage to have a life of their own outside of the films, while remaining closely linked to the works.
‘Some soundtracks have accompanied memorable films, while others are so memorable that they surpass the quality of the films themselves.’
