There are few movies I can watch that won't make me feel like I'm living life wrong. Especially those romance movies that crush me because the sappy crap is my weakness. I'm the epitome of a hopeless romantic, dreaming of the day my Jim Halpert will appear and propose to me at our meet up spot while I'm off pursuing my dreams. But along with these heartstring-pulling scenes in movies and shows comes the music behind it all. The music is what brings the whole thing together. Without the soundtrack, movies would not be able to tear me apart so easily (maybe). I'm a romcom fanatic, so here are the movies with the soundtracks to a hopeless romantic's soul (that I've found so far).
1. Stuck In Love
This is my favorite movie in the world, and then I discovered the soundtrack and I completely fell in love. It's heartbreaking, soft, but beautiful.
2. Crazy, Stupid Love
The movie closes with Blood by The Middle East. That's enough of an explanation for this one.
3. 500 Days of Summer
This movie is so real, the soundtrack makes this movie what it is, including the flash mob Joseph Gordon-Levitt pulls.
4. Grease
Kind of a cop out because it's a musical, but still. John Travolta singing for Sandy on the swings is unreal.
5. Begin Again
It's a weird cast completely made up of A-List actors, but the soundtrack is indescribable. I watched the movie about two months ago for the first time, and I listen to Lost Stars at least four times every. damn. day. Keira Knightley comes out of nowhere with a gentle, beautiful voice and Adam Levine continues to charm the crap out of you with his angelic falsetto.
