Completely missed Bohemian Rhapsody. I can’t believe it

[teniren]

If Rocketman made the list, Bohemian Rhapsody should’ve as well.

[MChantal]

You have seriously dropped the ball on this one. How in the world can you have a list like this and not even consider "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Purple Rain", "What's Love Got To Do With It?", "Get On Up", or "I'm Not There"?

[trinaq]

"Rocketman" is to date my favourite biopic, since it does something no with the formula of a troubled musician rising to fame and fortune. The songs really suit the scenes they're chosen for, particularly "Honky Cat."

The DISRESPECT of no mention of Bohemian rhapsody

[julztt]

Selena reminds me of my childhood.
Where was Bohemian rhapsody?
Still, Miss Diana Ross is due her flowers. Beautiful interpretation of Billie Holiday

[rebeccamcdermott]

I genuinely thought Jamie Foxx did sing in Ray. Shows how amazing his portrayal of Ray Charles was.

[TrulyMademoizelle]

Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman, Selena at the top.

[RobynAlford]

No mention of Prince’s Purple Rain ? even though it is semi autobiographical. One of the best if not the best soundtrack of all time

[casckettfriki]

Walk The Line is my favourite movie. Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix were so amazing😍😍

[julztt]

Yay you mentioned La Bamba. Such a brilliant underrated film. Lou Diamond Phillips was so good in that film. He was so innocent too. La Bamba and Donna were so memorable. The film made me cry the poor guy never wanted to get on a plane, he was on that fateful small aircraft in terrible weather with Buddy holly and the big bopper. He tossed a coin. The World lost a talent that day.
Ray was phenomenal 😍 I still rewatch it. Jamie WAS Ray. Aside from the singing. Regina king was so good too.
Walk the Line 💓💓💓🥰🥰
I knew the film would be good being a Cash fan. Phoenix sounded so much like Johnny.
Straight outta Compton...😰😨 Ezee E 😰it's just sad. These are all sad.

Rocketman was very creative. It was a musical biography. I loved it. You can tell Elton was behind it.

Val Kilmer was incredible as Jim Morrison. The Doors were so influential of that era. I love their music so great. Run with me, My wild love, Light my fire. 💕🥰😍

No mention of Respect or Bohemian Rhapsody just feels wrong

[SweptAway]

Thank you for putting "Lady Sings The Blues" at the top! Love this soundtrack and listen to it often!

[catherinewilliams]

#8 Gary Oldman, who played Sid Vicious, actually sang on the three song that Sid Vicious sings in the movie and performs on the CD.

[anthonymonteverde]

OMG....No "Purple Rain"? They got 2 Grammys(I think), got an Oscar 4 the music, had the #1 album, single, AND movie simultaneously, #1 album 4 24 str8 weeks-YET NOT ON THIS LIST(LET ALONE #1)?...JUST "WOW".

[brookelynnenewcomer]

Ricky was only 17 when he died in a plane crash. That is tragic.
It so sad we lost so Many great artist to plane crashes

[moonjoke]

Just started but Bohemian Rhapsody should be first

[SEGASister]

Glad that _Selena_ was an honorable mention ^^

[Pablorcct]

Even Elton is an icon i prefer the music from the movie, Taron really exceed any expectations and i'm still upset that he was snubbed at the oscars.

Also for Elvis, Austin should have sing all the sountrack i was so impressed by his versions of trouble & baby let's play house ... he really deserves all the awards next year

[francislouienapa]

Respect (2021) also deserves at least a mention on this list in my opinion.
