film soundtracks
Cinema's musical accompaniment
Film soundtracks are the musical accompaniments to movies—either the score composed specifically for the film or a compilation of songs featured in it.
A soundtrack album collects this music for separate listening: The Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack brought back '70s hits.
Score-based soundtracks showcase a composer's work; compilation soundtracks often become cultural artifacts independent of the films themselves.
