As Martin Scorsese once said, “Music and cinema fit together naturally. Because there’s a kind of intrinsic musicality to the way moving images work when they’re put together. It’s been said that cinema and music are very close as art forms, and I think that’s true.” Indeed, the right piece of music–whether it’s an original score or a carefully selected song–can do wonders for a sequence, and today we’re looking at the 25 films that best expressed this notion this year.
From seasoned composers to accomplished musicians, as well as a smattering of soundtracks, each musical example perfectly transported us to the world of the film. Check out our rundown of the top 25, which includes streams to each soundtrack in full.

On their new single "Palest Pearl," promising Portland duo Pure Bathing Culture match a harrowing concept — how far would you be willing to go, and what would you be willing to lose, in order to achieve your wildest dreams? — with a fizzy, '80s synth-pop tune. The effect is twofold: On one hand, you may want to Carlton-dance your way through the infectious melody, led by Daniel Hindman's jangle-pop guitar line; on the other, close listens could send you into a contemplative spiral, thanks to the existential questions posed by singer Sarah Versprille. However it plays out for you, Vulture is pleased to exclusively premiere the song."Palest Pearl," off Pure Bathing Culture’s thoroughly lovely sophomore LP (Pray for Rain, out October 23 via Partisan Records), was inspired by the early 20th-century poet H.D.’s work “The Walls Do Not Fall,” from her collection Trilogy. “Our song isn’t...

The below is a rerun of our interview from the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Part western, part science fiction, wholly original—it’s not easy to pin down—writer/director Jake Paltrow’s latest film, “Young Ones,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival (read our review here), is worth an examination. Ernest Holm (a gaunt Michael Shannon) and his two teenage children, Jerome (Kodi Smit-McPhee) and Mary (Elle Fanning), resolutely hold onto their farmland in a drought-ravaged near future, stubbornly believing that the water will soon return. (In a town that shares an odd optimism, “Pray for rain” is a common greeting.) Paltrow imbues this landscape—using South Africa as a stand-in for the anonymous American West—with futuristic touches, including both a robotic mule and medical advances that keep the family’s wife/mother (Aimee Mullins) alive. Not too far away, water flows freely in an overcrowded city, glimpses...

Our 5 most popular trailers. Find out what they are below!
The love for the Nsfw-quality of Tromeo and Juliet not withstanding, you guys are getting a little predictable. As with last week, three holdovers in the top five and two new ones enter. If you want to see something else, get over to our YouTube channel and start exploring.
Lloyd Kaufman on Tromeo and Juliet
The Bard gets Troma-tized. The story’s the same, but Troma adds all the toilet humor, explicit sex scenes and gratuitous gore that old Will thoughtlessly left out of his version.
Jack Hill on The Big Doll House
Jack Hill recalls the making of his mega-hit, the Roger Corman/Cirio Santiago jungle prison flick that started the avalanche of busty-broads-behind-bars pix that packed the drive-ins throughout the 70s.
John Landis on King Kong vs. Godzilla

Roger Ebert called Alex Cox’s unexpectedly romantic dissection of the destructive relationship between Sid Vicious and Cloe Webb “Punk Rock’s Romeo and Juliet”. Johnny Rotten (aka John Lydon) was no fan of the film, claiming he’d been intentionally bypassed and that the movie was “the lowest form of life”. The soundtrack contains no songs by Sid Vicious or the Sex Pistols. Instead the music is contributed by Pray for Rain, Joe Strummer and The Pogues.
