"facebook dialogPinterestMichael Loccisano/Getty Images\n\n Daft Punk who scored TRON: Legacy\n\nfacebook dialogPinterestGetty Images\n\nConfession: I am a terrible mixtape maker (mixtapes are prehistoric iTunes playlists). I'll follow three ballads with a dance anthem. Or put a show tune before Metallica. It's atrocious. But pop culture saved me the day I discovered the film soundtrack. Someone with skills was handing me a compilation of songs\u2014and they were attached to a movie! I didn't have to be a slave to any one genre either. I played my Dirty Dancing tape until it broke\u2014and then bought the delu set along with More Dirty Dancing. The Big Chill, Hope Floats, Footloose, My Best Friend's Wedding, Boyz N the Hood . . . all classics, all groove-inducing in their own ways.\n\nfacebook dialogPinterestDirector/actress Sofia Coppola attends a press conference for \"Somewhere\" at the Ritz-Carlton on January 19, 2011 in Tokyo, Japan.

Top picks: Say Anything, Singles, Almost Famous\n\nfacebook dialogPinterestDirector Wes Anderson attends a \"Darjeeling Limited\" dinner at La Grenouille in New York City. Louis Vuitton sponsored the evening in his honor.\n\nMix Masters: Wes Anderson: The king of quirky cool, this director digs deep to unearth sweet vintage classics. Top picks: Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums\n\nBut then an amazing thing happened: Directors who love music (see \"Mix Masters,\" above) started paying attention\u2014and the genre blew up. Trainspotting and High Fidelity were listening lessons, an actual school of rock. And Almost Famous director Cameron Crowe bless his impeccable ear. I've listened to that film's soundtrack more than any in my collection. These curators of cool brought old music to a new generation and new music to old conventions.\n\nIn 2009 Karen O. (and The Kids) Where the Wild Things Are; last year Daft Punk did the music for TRON: Legacy; and this month The Chemical Brothers set the frenetic pace of assassin flick Hanna. When Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor and his collaborator Atticus Ross won the Academy Award for Best Original Score for The Social Network, a trend was validated.\n\nI'm pretty content with listening to \"Tiny Dancer\" on repeat, but I can't wait to see what's next.\n\nfacebook dialogPinterest\n\nMust-Hear Soundtracks: The Big Chill\n\nfacebook dialogPinterest\n\nMust-Hear Soundtracks: Dazed and Confused\n\nMust-Hear Soundtracks: Trainspotting"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
