Music and film can often seem synonymous, with the audio accompaniment to your favourite movie being just as important as the dialogue itself. It can feel like a dream come true when a musician or band you love and your favourite director team up and make a little piece of heaven.

Come on a musical journey through some of your favourite cinema soundtrack moments.
