Opening Songs

TV and movies play a very big role in how I successfully waste my precious time on a daily basis. And in my extensive watching, I have found a select number of titles that begin with the perfect song for the shot sequence or storyline. Music has the ability to play a huge role in film, and most of the time, a solid soundtrack truly makes a movie. I thought about my favorite opening scenes to movies and shows, and below is a comprehensive list to some of my favorite movie/memorable songs that set the mood right for the rest of the film. Listen. And then go watch the movies. Well, that should do it. ENJOY my pretties.
