IMDb Poll Board's Movie Playlists
A song can either capture the mood and spirit of the film with nothing but simple words and a catchy melody or magically transcend the limits of its narrative. And sometimes it can do without the pretension of meaningfulness and be just one of the best things about the film... if not the best.
IMDb Poll Board members have been asked to come up with their 10 favorite movie songs, the choice wasn't easy but the result is an interesting set of 20 movie playlists (songs, not scores or themes) and we're asking you:
Which playlist comes the closest to what would be *your* personal choice?
After voting, you may discuss the list here
