Movies are often defined by their soundtracks. Jaws wouldn't be Jaws without that ubiquitous and ominous bassline. Star Wars wouldn't be Star Wars without John Williams' legendary score. Some directors, like Quentin Tarantino and Wes Anderson, are often defined as much by the music they collect for their films as by their films themselves. Oftentimes, certain obscure songs or melodies are intrinsically linked to a specific scene in a movie, and will be forever associated with their cinematic counterpart. Sometimes, then, listening to a music score or particular song can give us a taste of our favorite movie, or can even place us in the theatre for a few brief minutes to relive moments that define our film experience. So with that in mind, we've assembled some of the top five movie soundtrack stations for your listening pleasure, so that with the click of a button, you can be back in the theatre or your living room in front of your favorite film. To find these stations, just check out the Soundtracks genre in the SHOUTCast directory.
