6 of my favorite soundtracks

Something that I think is really underrated is movie soundtracks. I know that there are people who really enjoy movie soundtracks, but I still don't think that they get enough love. You take away the soundtrack from the movie and it changes the whole thing.

So I'm here today to give some love to 6 of my favorite soundtracks. While I will only link one song from each soundtrack, I still love the whole thing.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of my all-time favorite movies. The music is genius and the opening song conveys so much. From the majesty of Notre Dame to Clopin telling a simple tale with puppets. A wonderful movie and an amazing soundtrack. 

The Book Thief

I can honestly say, without any doubt, that The Book Thief IS my favorite movie. Something that adds so much beauty to this already beautiful story is the music. I don't think that John Williams gets enough love for this particular soundtrack. Each track matches the scene perfectly and gives it even more depth. 

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

(I couldn't find any of the tracks on YouTube, but the soundtrack is on Spotify so I would definitely give it a listen!)

I love the book so much, and y'all, I know I've basically said the same thing for each one, but this soundtrack fits the movie PERFECTLY.

Poldark

I love this soundtrack to death. The almost gritty sounds blend perfectly with the rough Cornish scenery. Just hearing the different tracks sweeps you into the story. Whether you're at Wheal Leisure or going to confront a bunch of angry miners, this soundtrack is amazingly suited to the show. Just listening to it makes me want to go and rewatch it!!

Victoria

Just the first strains of the main theme give you chills. The track I linked above always makes me feel like I'm flying. Every piece in this amazing soundtrack adds tension along with the dialogue or makes your heart skip a beat as you squeal over your favorite ship.

The Crown

The Crown is a rather heavy show. Most of the colors are slightly muted, and it deals seriously with the different events in the early reign of Elizabeth II. The soundtrack matches that tone to a t. No sparkling pieces, but rather dark tracks with a hint of an electronic sound to add some more tension. 

What are some of your favorite soundtracks? Are any that I named one of your favorites? Give me some recommendations! Also, look forward to an extra post this Monday!

#2: Link back to the person who tagged you. Thank you, Elanor, for creating this tag eons ago and tagging me
#3: Tag at least one other blogger to do the tag *reaches out into the internet and tags random blogger*

Meaning,

this is up for grabs

1.  What was the most recent period drama you watched?  Share what you thought of it.

I was watching Downton Abbey last night. Yes, I've finally joined that fandom. What did I think of it???? Well, I was pretty heartbroken when my OTP was TORN APART DRAMATICALLY IN SEASON THREE. I STILL SORTA SNIFFLE WHEN I SEE A CERTAIN CHARACTER (who happens to be my favorite character) WHO SURVIVED LOOKING SAD. (if you know what I'm talking about....shoot me a message and we can commiserate together) 

2.  Do you generally prefer period dramas in the form of a movie or a TV series/mini-series?  Why?

Mini-series. Why? Because there's more of it.... :P

3.  What is your favorite musical period drama?

Um.....Les Mis?

4.  Read the book first or watch the movie first?

Well, half of these period dramas I've seen before reading the book so watch the movie?? Although I generally like to read the book (if there is one) before I see the movie

5.  What is a valuable life lesson you learned from a period drama?

That things are out of your control and all you can do is learn to live with what life hands you.

6.  Which period drama hero would you be likely to fall in love with in real life?

....
.....
....
*hiccups*
Tom Branson :PPP

7.  Do you ever like to binge-watch a period drama series?

Is the sky blue?
Of course!! I could binge watch all the time if that was a healthy practice

8.  What things go best with watching a period drama?

A nice bed with plenty of blankets to wrap yourself in

and a box of tissues if you're watching Downton Abbey after a certain tragic event

9.  Which period drama do you think you would fit into best?

Um.......
*forty million years of silence*
Either Lark Rise to Candleford or Cranford???? Idk....I feel like I would be that person in the background that serves no purpose except to BE there

10. If you could have any period drama character for a best friend, who would it be?  And why?

Definitely Sybil -Branson-. She's not afraid to stand up for herself and yet she's amazingly sweet and thoughtful

13. Which period drama has your favorite soundtrack?

Definitely Victoria on Masterpiece. The soundtrack

Is

Amazing

14. Dream cast your favorite actor and actress in a period drama of your choosing; tell which parts they would play and why.***

Hm, I would cast Shane Harper as Ryland in  A Noble Masquerade (which is a hilarious book, read it) and Dove Cameron as Miranda from the same book. I think they could play the parts well and they look to what I imagine those characters to look like

Shane Harper as Ryland, Duke of Marshington 

Dove Cameron as Lady Miranda Hawthorne

15. Are there any period dramas you like more than one version of?

I like both the movie The Young Queen Victoria and the Victoria on Masterpiece (coughmaybethetvshowalittlemorecoughcough)

Return to Cranford (saw this at the library)

I love Sybil's hair like this

19. What is your favorite biographical period drama?

Victoria on Masterpiece

20. Which historical novel will you forever recommend to anyone and everyone?
