As long as I can remember, I have been a Movie buff. Watching TV series and movies during my youth really has become influential as much as of course reading books and my all time favorite Reader's Digest which I still collect and had fun re- reading back issues and still learn and discover something from it.
Well going back to the topic, I am really amazed how soundtracks and film scoring really contributed and added essence to famous movies and TV series that made it unforgettable and vice-versa as for some songs and music that was made for movies became hits and made it to the top of the music charts.
It is with this that I thought I'd collect and share to you some of the famous movies made and their soundtracks and themes.
To start it off I would like to highlight one of my favorite actors the great Charlie Chaplin and his composition "Smile" which was used as a soundtrack to his 1936 movie "Modern Times". Chaplin composed the music, while John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added the lyrics and title in 1954. Here's a rendition of the song performed by Michael Jackson and the video clip made by Chaplin's violin that I lifted from Youtube. credit also goes to Wikipedia for some of the information.
