A soundtrack is a vital component to any movie, whether it's a rousing orchestral score or contemporary songs following the characters through their lives. And yet it's curious that a soundtrack's creation is often a starkly separate process. Composers will, of course, base their writing off the filmed material and notes from the director but, ultimately, the music they conjure up is its own artistic beast.

As such, an utterly fantastic soundtrack will sometimes accompany a not-so-fantastic movie. That could be due to the caliber of the artists or composers involved; other times it's a simple stroke of fortune that the musical elements turn out better than the movie itself. Regardless, these ten movies ended up being outshone by their far superior audio backdrops.
