Intro

Music and dance—the beating heart of the medium of cinema! It acts as a plot device—they move the story ahead. Revisit some Hollywood movies where music and songs were central to the larger narrative.

'La La Land'

Ryan Gosling-Emma Stone's romance musical deserves a definitive spot here, and the acclaimed film’s music was composed by Justin Hurwitz. Another Day of Sun and City of Stars became major hits.

'Licorice Pizza'

Paul Thomas Anderson's Licorice Pizza was critically acclaimed and became a cult classic with time. The film has a thriving soundtrack from artists like Paul McCartney, and Joe Walsh, among others.

'A Star is Born'

Bradley Cooper directed and played an alcoholic singer who falls in love with a young singer (Lady Gaga). Brimming with multiple resonant songs, the soundtrack goes through a gamut of emotions.

'Marie Antoinette'

Music in a historical period drama film becomes crucial to its theme and mood of the film Marie Antoinette scores well on this aspect and its music album leverages new wave and post-punk bands.
