Film music that is synonymous with "cool"

A good soundtrack is more than just a collection of good songs. Her job is to blend in with the story of the film and blend in with the background. The right choice can make a film even more successful, the wrong choice can ruin an otherwise solid film. Here are 10 that are synonymous with cool. Cool music - "cool" movie.

1. DICK DALE, MISIRLOU in PULP FICTION (1994)


A stunning collection of lost classics, forgotten gems and evergreen masterpieces - this is another unique selection Tarantino, which showed how well he copes outside the mainstream of pop culture.
The most famous of them is certain Misirlou, which has become synonymous with the film. A "cool" movie.

2. IGGY POP, LUST FOR LIFE in TRAINSPOTTING (1996)


A film that had its premiere during the heyday of Britpop, in terms of content, leans much more towards adventurous acid house or pumpkin punk. Any way you look at it, it's a magical collection of songs, from dances to the punk scene (Underworld, Leftfield, Iggy Pop) to the crème de la crème of Britain indie music - New Order, Primal Scream and Pulp. And yet, Iggy Pop and his Lust for Life was a perfect addition to the drug addict epic and overshadowed the other "cool" songs.

3. RICHARD STRAUSS, ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA in the movie 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968)


Although today the use of classical music in films is an established alternative, in 1968 this was not the case. Instead, they preferred to use something more commercial. Director Stanley Kubrick he chose bravely Strauss for an unforgettable and magical opening to the film. We are sure that with this classical music has won some more fans.

4. AIR, PLAYGROUND LOVE in THE VIRGIN SUICIDES (2000)


After the first album Moon Safari, fans of good music longed for another album by the duo Air. It came as the soundtrack for the first feature film Sofia Coppola. Some may have been disappointed by this at first, but after listening to the mysterious and subtle sounds, this dissatisfaction subsided. One more "soundtrack" that doesn't need to be mentioned in the film to be appreciated. "Cool".

5. NICO, THESE DAYS in THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS (2001)


Movies Wes Anderson they always have superlatives, even in film music. The Royal Tenenbaums can boast of a smart and sophisticated soundtrack. Nico and her These Days is a beautiful and concise meditation on regret and hope.

6. A GUY CALLED GERALD, VOODOO RAY in 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE (2002)


A film about the rise and fall of the Manchester music scene in the late 1970s until the early 1990s, it could be a complete wreck, but it would always have top-notch music. Thankfully, the film was special, as was the collection of songs. But it's all in the music. Punk, post-punk, electro, acid house and indie-dance. Joy Division, The Clash, New Order, Happy Mondays and A Guy Called Gerald. Without a doubt one of the best compilations film music.

7. EDDIE VEDDER, SOCIETY in INTO THE WILD (2007)


Sean Penn was convincing enough to get Eddie Vedder to score the soundtrack for the film adaptation of the book Jon Krakaure. Pearl Jam frontman, who played every instrument in every song, took the audience on a journey into the wilderness.

8. DAFT PUNK, THE GAME HAS CHANGED in TRON: LEGACY (2010)


If Daft Punk "bent" film music, we don't care if the film is terrible. Music for Tron: Legacy combines the electronic sounds of the French duo ter 85 piece orchestra for the grand finale worthy of the big screen.

9. TRENT REZNOR AND ATTICUS ROSS, HAND COVERS BRUISES in THE SOCIAL NETWORK (2010)


Another step up in Trent Reznor's evolution is his ambient soundtrack for The Social Network, which he co-produced with Atticus Ross and received many prizes. The tracks are addictive and fit the film's uneasiness and angst perfectly.

10. KAVINSKY, NIGHTCALL in the movie DRIVE (2011)


Drive was the coolest movie, which appeared on the big screen in 2011 and provided an excellent soundtrack at the same time. Eighties vibes are present in most compositions and Cliff Martinez masterfully incorporated the feel of a neo-noir film. The most "cool"? Kavinsky.
