Life is like a movie! We are like the lead stars of our own film filled with colors, plots and twists. And some of these movies hold closer to our hearts, especially when that soundtrack plays in the background.
Countless of movies were made all throughout history with award-winning soundtracks which changed our lives. Let us list some of them below.
