The brilliant Coen brothers' latest project, Inside Llewyn Davis, comes out in theaters nationwide today—and while the movie wasn't my hands-down favorite of their work, the soundtrack will definitely stick with me long after.

I mean, it is a movie about a '60s folk singer, so of course the soundtrack is incredible. But there are plenty of films out there worth watching for the soundtrack alone. In no particular order...

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

*Now this is a Coen brothers movie worth watching besides just the amazing soundtrack—but this compilation of songs, produced by T-Bone Burnett, won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2002 and totally revived and shined a spotlight on the folk and bluegrass music scene. No contest, I consider this the top dog in movie soundtracks. *

*The Graduate*When you think of The Graduate, you think of that unforgettable image of Anne Bancroft's leg and you think of Simon and Garfunkel. Some of their biggest hits—"Mrs. Robinson," "The Sound of Silence," "Scarborough Fair/Canticle"—stand as a backdrop to major, iconic moments in the movie.

Pulp Fiction

Like the film, the soundtrack to Pulp Fiction is just as quirky and untraditional—it features nine songs from the movie, four tracks of dialogue followed by a song, and three tracks of dialogue alone. But chances are as soon as you saw this on the list, you immediately went to listen to Urge Overkill's cover of "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon."

Saturday Night Fever Let's continue with the John Travolta train and discuss Saturday Night Fever. I don't think there's another album out there (and, yes, movie) that better captures the '70s disco movement. To give you an idea of how popular the soundtrack was, the album was certified 15x Platinum and stayed on the *Billboard *album charts for 120 weeks until March 1980 (the movie came out in 1977). And to this day, it's a go-to for dance, feel-good music.

Purple Rain

PRINCE. Need I say anything more? OK, fine, this is considered one of the best albums overall in music history, let alone movie soundtracks.

Garden State You know that scene where Natalie Portman is talking about the Shins and she says, "You gotta hear this one song—it'll change your life, I swear." She's not kidding.

Forrest Gump

This epic two-disc set is practically a history of American music with songs from everyone from Jefferson Airplane to the Supremes. Classic.

Walk the Line Of course, nothing beats listening to original Johnny Cash music—but I sure as hell will happily watch a movie full of Johnny Cash covers produced by T-Bone Burnett.

The Twilight movies

Like the movies or not, the soundtrack for all of these far surpasses the actual film.

Space Jam Every '90s kid knows this was THE must-have album.

Empire Records

Oh, man, I love this coming-of-age movie about a group of record-store employees, and the angst-filled '90s teen playlist can't be beat.

High Fidelity Again, when you have a movie about a guy at a record store, the soundtrack better be good. Luckily, High Fidelity doesn't disappoint.

Almost Famous

A primer on rock music, the soundtrack reflects the spirit of the classic film.

Hunger Games Like Megan said, you don't have to love the movie to love the soundtracks in this franchise.

Drive

There's barely any dialogue in this movie, which is totally OK because the music is what, ahem, drives this film.
