A good movie soundtrack can make someone fall even more in love with the movie and characters on the screen.

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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
