Talented musicians have a knack on composing tracks for screenplays they fancy, scrounging their musicality to fit the scenes that attack the senses in many ways.

Some might be amused to find out these musicians who lent their skills in making these movies more enticing and interesting with the sounds they create. What better way to enumerate rock stars who jumped on the cinematic railroad than giving our readers samples of their work?

1. Rich Robinson (The Black Crowes) for 'Highway'

Not many remember this getaway movie starring the then-young Jake Gylenhaal, Jared Leto, Selma Blair and Jeremy Piven about a drug-ridden road trip and unexpected romance and relationship twists, luckily for its soundtrack, music fans can't seem to get enough of it.

Released in 2002, the movie has an exceptional score care of Rich Robinson, the other genius brother behind the band, 'The Black Crowes.' Guitar licks, key samplings, and groovy bass sounds are present all throughout the film, especially when the characters get involved in drug-induced scenes.

2. Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) for 'Into the Wild'

This Sean Penn- directed and penned-movie is not only critically-acclaimed for its brilliant screenplay, but also for Eddie Vedder's contribution to the film's stellar scoring. The' Pearl Jam' front man composed original songs to go along Alexander Supertramp's introspective adventure as he discovers new relationships, yearnings about himself, and his intellectual capacity.

3. Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead) for 'Norwegian Wood'

The Radiohead guitarist was commissioned to compose an original score for this Murakami book-to-movie tear jerker, and fans are suggesting his music added a suggestive layer to the emotional heaviness of the film. Greenwood effectively captured the book and movie's forlorn aura through his depressive sound inserts, as if he's cradling the viewers to close their eyes and hear their hearts wail out.

4. Grizzly Bear for 'My Blue Valentine'

This heavy drama starring Michelle Williams and Oscar-snubbed, Ryan Gosling, featured instrumental tracks and songs from Brooklyn-based band, Grizzly Bear. The movie itself is enough to make viewers abandon the existence of an 'eternal love;' good thing the soundtrack is at least entertaining.

Some songs include 'Shift,' and 'Foreground,' and most tracks sound so good that they can make Pitchfork's list of best 100 soundtracks of the decade (if there is any).

5. Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and Atticus Ross for 'The Social Network' and 'Girl With a Dragon Tattoo'

After winning an Academy Award for composing the original score for David Fincher's 'The Social Network,' Nine Inch Nail's Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross take the job again for 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.'

This time, Reznor recruited 'The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' vocalist, Karen O, to lend her voice for an industrial-sounding remake of Led Zeppelin's 'Immigrant Song' (as heard on the opening credits of the movie).

6. Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) for 'Spun'

This 2002 cult classic about a group of people entwined with the hard-knocked life of drug dealing and addiction not only boasts a stellar cast, but an unusual scoring from Smashing Pumpkins main man, Billy Corgan, too.

Directed by Jonas Akerlund, this exhilarating film stars Mickey Rourke, the late Britanny Murphy, Patrick Fugit, Mena Suvari, John Leguizamo, Jason Schwartzman, and even Blondie singer, Debbie Harry. Corgan did all the music for the film, including the ones heard in chase scenes and dream sequences. Corgan even had a cameo in the film where he played a dentist.
