Electro
The Virgin Suicides has two soundtracks. One is stacked with old-school bangers to compliment its 1970s setting, and it's dope, but the real gem lies within French electro duo Air's musical interpretation of the film's emotive themes. Even at a super-short 40-minute run time, the lush, ambient landscapes these guys create with their synths leaves just as much of a lasting impression as Kirsten Dunst offing herself via carbon monoxide. Oops! Spoiler alert!

Um, best song "Uptown Anthem"???? FOH. "Know The Ledge" might be the best rap song EVER, let alone on this kinda shitty soundtrack.

the only wes anderson movie this ist features is rushmore, and that's at 32? FOH. Tenenbaums is in the top 10. Seu Jorge's Bowie covers for life aquatic deserve a spot as well. His soundtrancks are like art (kudos, music supervisor randal poster).

More Than A Game? Drake, Kanye, Lil Wayne, Eminem-Forever? That alone makes it a great soundtrack, but it also has Drop It Low.
