I wanted to create an alternative movies soundtrack playlist for many a reason. Nostalgia being one of them. I often like to go back to my youth through films and music. I think most of you will agree that the 90s was pretty damn awesome for both.
When thinking about some of the films that for me threw out some major tunes, I found myself thinking about Tank Girl, Pulp Fiction, Empire Records, Pump Up The Volume, Wayne’s World, The Breakfast Club and well to be honest, loads.
So here is a mini example of what I think are some epic songs from movie soundtracks throughout the years. Can you name all the films? Enjoy.
