Mary and I agreed the other day that, had Baz Luhrmann done nothing else since, he would still be the greatest just for putting out the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack. Perhaps the greatest movie soundtrack of all time, it gets there without relying on the old genre gimmick. Not that I've got anything against a good 60s or 80s compilation album, but Baz doesn't need to collect a bunch of tunes that someone else made hits to have a great soundtrack album.
And now, it's time for a little audience participation. I got the Lost in Translation soundtrack a few months ago, but I just saw the movie last week. The Jesus and Mary Chain tune Just Like Honey really stuck with me after connecting it with the movie. Tell your own movie song connections in the comments!
