Best of 2009: Movie Soundtracks

For the remainder of the year (save holidays and weekends, of course), we'll be sharing some additional lists of our favorites in music from 2009. Today, that lists is our top 10 movie soundtracks from films that came out this year. All of the songs don't have to be unique to the film however, so it's open for quite a few endeavors. This is also the only time you'll ever see Twilight mentioned in this space besides for being the awful, cultish collection of poor storytelling it's usually regarded as, and is.
