Films with unexpectedly good soundtracks?

Just that really!
Does anyone know of any soundtracks from films that are unexpectedly amazing?

We drove quite a distance yesterday to get to our UK holiday destination and listened to...

The Peter Rabbit soundtrack! It's such a great soundtrack, but really unexpected! Such variety of music- and some really good tunes 🎶🎵🎶🎵!

Does anyone have anymore to share?!

500 days of summer ... Still listen to it regularly now!

I bloody love it when DD wants to watch The Pirates and Adventure With Scientists. Fab soundtrack including the jam.

Cant think of any adult ones! Apart from 9 songs which is quite saucy.

Captain Marvel.

The 90s tunes are great, but the original score is sublime. I’m embarrassed by how often I’ve listened to it - seriously uplifting.

@Bluntasduck & @WinterAndRoughWeather today's car journeys featured pulp fiction and captain marvel! Enjoyed them both!

I'd forgotten what an awesome soundtrack pulp fiction had especially!!

This is so difficult, I used to want the soundtrack for nearly every movie but I cant think of any!!

I watched the history boys on the BBC iPlayer at the weekend - that had a great soundtrack of 80s school tracks
