Both movies and music have been my addictions. It is always great fun to watch a good movie or a solid album. But sometimes, these two come together to double the pleasure. Below are some of the best soundtracked-movies.<\/p>\n

Shoot \u2018Em Up<\/strong> (2007)<\/p>\n

\"Shoot<\/a>
Shoot ‘Em Up starring Clive Owen, Monica Belluci and Paul Giamatti. Sex, guns and rockn’roll! Image from: http:\/\/www.firstshowing.net<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not one of the most serious movies you will watch. It is non-stop action but it is so cool in its irrational and impossible scenes. But it works. Clive Owen<\/a> at his best form as the mysterious Smith. Co-starring Monica Belluci<\/a>. Wondering what the movie is about? Here\u2019s the review. Wondering more about the soundtrack?<\/p>\n

Featuring<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Kickstart my heart by Motley Crue<\/a><\/p>\n

Ace of Spades, Motorhead<\/a><\/p>\n

Breed, Nirvana<\/a><\/p>\n

If you want blood, you got it- AC\/DC<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh of course, this isn\u2019t it. They are just the songs I have loved long before the movie. Yes, the soundtrack is all about rock: grunge, rock, hard rock, alternative and classic rock. More on the movie and trailer: http:\/\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/shoot-em-up\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Jerry Maguire (1996)<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Jerry<\/a>
Jerry Maguire starring Tom Cruise, Ren\u00e9e Zellweger and Cuba Gooding Jr. Co-starring Kelly Preston and Jay\u00a0 Mohr. Watch out for the most adorable kid on screen: Jonathan Lipnicki. Image from: http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tom Cruise<\/a> has been one of my favorite actors. Because more often than not, I know I can trust him to make good movies. \u00a0And Jerry Maguire is my absolutely favorite Tom Cruise<\/a>. It is also one of my favorites in general. It is funny, poignant, emotional, original and just lovely!!! Which reminds me I haven’t done an individual post on J.M. Shame on me.<\/p>\n

Soundtrack featuring:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pocketful of Rainbows, Elvis Presley<\/a><\/p>\n

Reality Bites (1994)<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Reality<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Delightful romcom, smelling 1990s. I love the 90s, the movie and well, obviously the ost. Now this movie id delightful in its own little way with characters trying (or refusing) to fit in. \u00a0Ethaw Hawke<\/a>\u2019s character is singing\u00a0 in a band so there are also songs sung by him. More on the movie and photos: http:\/\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/reality-bites-always\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Featuring:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rock’n’ Roll Part II, Gary Glitter<\/a><\/p>\n

Something So Strong, Crowded House<\/a><\/p>\n

School’s Out, Alice Cooper<\/a><\/p>\n

All I Want is You, U2<\/a><\/p>\n

Absolute favorite: My Sharona by The Knack. The video is below:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vanilla Sky (2001) <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Vanilla<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another Tom Cruise movie and just like it written and directed by Cameron Crowe.<\/p>\n

Too complicated to tell the story (again one of my fav. Cruise-its post will come) but in a nutshell:<\/p>\n

David Aames (Cruise) is handsome, rich and in demand and despite to the inconvenience to the board members, he is the head of the business he inherited from his parents. And he has a friend with benefits- hot Julie (Cameron Diaz<\/a>).\u00a0 But \u00a0something remarkable happens to David when he meets Sofia (Penelope Cruz) at a party and falls head over heels. Of course this doesn\u2019t go down with Julie -who has wanted David to be more than her bed buddy. An accident ruins David\u2019s face and psychology. From that moment on, the audience has a lot to digest and interpret. Based on the Spanish movie also starring Penelope Cruz. But I dare say, this one is better. Great movie, great soundtrack.<\/p>\n

Featuring:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everything In Its Right Place, Radiohead<\/a><\/p>\n

Vanilla Sky, Paul McCartney<\/a><\/p>\n

All the Right Friends,REM<\/a><\/p>\n
