The Best Original Soundtracks Ever in Cinema

Music in the cinema industry is crucial in different ways: to get emotions across, to have us picture the scene or to make the scene more realistic. recently, I saw, in the festival, the movie “Play” with Max Boublil and the soundtrack of the movie was amazing. It ends with “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette. So here are some of the best original soundtracks of cinema.
