'00s Movie Hits

From Eminem’s heart-pounding anthem (“Lose Yourself”) to Zach Braff’s indie-pop-perfect soundscape (“New Slang” and the rest of the Garden State soundtrack) to Wes Anderson’s blender-buzzed mix of Brazil and Bowie (Seu Jorge’s “Rebel Rebel”), the music from this decade’s movies is as varied, adventurous, and flat-out cool as the movies themselves. "Lose Yourself" from 8 Mile "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" from "O Brother, Where Art Thou? "New Slang" from Garden State "The Weary Kind (Theme)" from Crazy Heart "Jackson" from Walk the Line "Jai Ho" from Slumdog Millionaire "Try Again" from Romeo Must Die "Tiny Dancer" from Almost Famous "You Can't Stop the Beat" from Hairspray "Something to Talk About" from About a Boy "Seasons of Love" from Rent "Life is a Highway" from Cars "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" from The Departed "Suddenly I See" from The Devil Wears Prada "Can't Fight the Moonlight" from Coyote Ugly "Cell Block Tango" from Chicago "Into the West" from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King "If I Didn't Have You" from Monsters, Inc.

From Bird York’s ghostly “In the Deep” from the Oscar®-winning Crash to Hoku’s bouncy “Perfect Day” from Legally Blonde, we’ve transported another batch of the decade’s biggest and best movie music from the theater to your iPod. "Fat Lip" from American Pie 2 "In the Air Tonight" from Miami Vice "The Hands That Built America" from Gangs of New York "Listen" from Dreamgirls "Have I Told You Lately?" from What a Girl Wants "Things Have Changed" from Wonder Boys "Perfect Day" from Legally Blonde "I'm a Believer" from Shrek "In the Deep" from Crash "A Love Before Time" from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon "I Need to Wake Up" from An Inconvenient Truth "Caramel" from Closer "Accidentally in Love" from Shrek 2 "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing" from Hitch "Idlewild Blue (Don'tchu Worry 'Bout Me)" from Idlewild "Love, Reign O'er Me" from Reign Over Me "Believe" from The Polar Express "Chocolate" from The Last Kiss "Boys" from Austin Powers in Goldmember "Dancing with Myself" from Mean Girls "Die Another Day" from Die Another Day "Chicago" from Little Miss Sunshine "Ready for a Miracle" from Evan Almighty "King of the Road" from Brokeback Mountain "Travelin' Thru" from Transamerica

Whether it’s a new artist re-creating an old hit (Joss Stone’s take on “Alfie”) or establishing the tone of a film (Jack Johnson’s soundtrack for Curious George) or simply doing what they do best and letting the filmmaker find how to make it work (the use of “Hide and Seek” in The Last Kiss), today’s great films are made better by great music — and this is some of the best. "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow" from A Mighty Wind "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" from Kill Bill: Vol. 1 "Take a Look Around" from Mission: Impossible II "Alfie" from Alfie "Hide and Seek" from The Last Kiss "There You'll Be" from Pearl Harbor "Sunset Soon Forgotten" from In the Company of Men "I've Seen It All" from Dancer in the Dark "Upside Down" from Curious George "Grey in L.A." from Knocked Up "The Scarlet Tide" from Cold Mountain "Al Otro Lado del Río" from The Motorcycle Diaries "#1" from Training Day "Father and Daughter" from The Wild Thornberrys Movie "Breakaway" from The Princess Diaries 2 "This Could Be Heaven" from Family Man "Ultimate" from Freaky Friday "Before It's Too Late" from Transformers "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" from Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas "Whole Wide World" from Stranger Than Fiction "Your Hand in Mine" from Friday Night Lights "How High the Moon" from Good Night, and Good Luck "Long Way Home" from Big Bad Love "America, F**k Yeah" from Team America – World Police "The Best Day Ever" from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie

From the return of the movie musical (Hairspray, Chicago, Rent) to the soundtrack as launching pad for new bands (Garden State, In the Company of Men, The Last Kiss) to the soundtrack as artistic statement in itself (8 Mile, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou), this decade has been one of the most fertile for movie music. These are the songs that made great movies that much better — the songs the movies simply couldn’t do without. "Lose Yourself" from 8 Mile "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" from "O Brother, Where Art Thou? "New Slang" from Garden State "The Weary Kind (Theme)" from Crazy Heart "Jackson" from Walk the Line "Jai Ho" from Slumdog Millionaire "Try Again" from Romeo Must Die "Tiny Dancer" from Almost Famous "You Can't Stop the Beat" from Hairspray "Something to Talk About" from About a Boy "Seasons of Love" from Rent "Life is a Highway" from Cars "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" from The Departed "Suddenly I See" from The Devil Wears Prada "Can't Fight the Moonlight" from Coyote Ugly "Cell Block Tango" from Chicago "Into the West" from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King "If I Didn't Have You" from Monsters, Inc.
