Playlist for February 25th, 2011

If you haven't noticed, I like not only music, but movies as well.

Cinema has the ability to tell stories in a completely different way from other mediums.

Not always a better way, but a different way.

Another great thing about film is the music.

I have learned about many artists, present and past, through movies.

Our playlist this week contains music from some of the movies I have enjoyed over the years.

Some of the tunes were created for the movies they are associated with and some are originals made years before being put into a film.

They are not necessarily my favorite movies, mind you (and some of the movies I didn't like), but the music...that's a different story.
