We've talked about soundtracks in films before, but we never really hit upon the licensed soundtracks.  Basically, the songs that weren't made for the movie that are in the film.  What are some of your favorite licensed soundtracks?

I, myself, have 3 personal favorites.  Shrek, which had a fun variety of different and enjoyable songs; Cool World, which had some great techno songs that helped make atmosphere; and Ghostbusters 2, which is the basically the only soundtrack in which I like every single song they used.

Hot Fuzz.  I know some people don't like the movie, but the soundtrack actually has some pretty sweet stuff on it!

I sort of want to say Saturday Night Fever, but I'm not too sure if all of the songs are licensed.  I'm pretty sure some of them are.  Either way, it's an awesome soundtrack. :thumbup:
