Journey to Discover Amazing Movie Soundtracks

I recently saw The Testament of Ann Lee in theaters (Japan getting it 9 months later yippee...) and holy shit does the soundtrack have a hold on me. I also watched Vertigo for the first time the other week and the soundtrack is slapping as well.

Does anyone have a certain movie soundtrack they love to have on as background noise whether while reading or doing other activities?

(Some movie composers I already know and love: Hans Zimmer for Interstellar, Joe Hisaishi for all the Studio Ghibli movies, etc.)

Is the pirating books debate all over anyone else’s social media?

I’m very against pirating books but there are more people defending it than I thought, and more of my irl friends do it that I thought… Am I being privileged by saying you shouldn’t?

Edit- I am not anti piracy, I’m pro piracy for most things, books have always been an exception for me! I also know there are exceptions within books as well, as with everything, but the vast majority of book piracy isn’t that.
