There was this movie commercial on TV right now. I wasn’t watching TV directly, I just had it on in the background while I was surfing. But then I heard this tune that sounded very familiar. I turned my head to the TV to see an image of a guy cheering in a hockey jersey, and then the commercial ended. I don’t know what movie it’s for.

I have realized where I’d heard that tune - on the soundtrack in the movie A Knight’s Tale. The music seems like it one was written by a composer specifically for the movie.

So that got me wondering, are the original soundtrack music (or rather, the score) of a movie reused in other movies?

I suppose it doesn’t matter if they are, as long as the music matches the tone of the movie. I love movie soundtracks, both the songs with lyrics and the instrumental ones - they add to the whole experience of the movie. Like the Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King soundtrack, which I’ve been listening to the past few days. It’s so amazing.

You know what? They should have a website that provides a listing of all the songs that are played in a movie. Like the ones that are shown in the movie credits, but also with descriptions of when the song is played. This is done for some TV shows already, so, why not movies? Sometimes an official soundtrack for a movie is released, but it’s not complete because it doesn’t include all of the songs played in the movie.
