My sister sometimes think it’s dorky that I like to collect movie soundtracks but I do enjoy listening to them. Yesterday when I woke up with a headache, I thought I’d listen to some before starting the day and that moment inspired today’s blog entry.

I thought that for today, I’d list my favorite themes/track from a movie soundtrack. Here they go (in no particular order):
