Whether a movie introduces you to a new artist or features one of your all time favorites, hearing a song coincide with characters on the big screen, is really special. Here are 13 of the best movie soundtracks.

3. The Great Gatsby

This soundtrack is unbelievable. The culture is perfectly captured in these dazzling tracks. Featured artists are Jack White, Fergie, Lana Del Ray, Jay Z, Gotye, The xx, and will.i.am. These musicians from all different genres came together and created a soundtrack that embodied a fresh new spin on a classic F. Scott Fitzgerald story. Baz Luhrmann did a fantastic job.

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying.

The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
