During yesterday's "cozy" Coffee Break, a few people mentioned the Garden State soundtrack as being the perfect soundtrack for the theme. That started some talk about whether or not it was actually a good movie. There are some good movies out there with equally good soundtracks, but there are also some horrible movies with great soundtracks.

What movies do you think are horrible, but that produced a great movie soundtrack? We'll pick out a couple of your favorites (from your least favorites) for today's 9:30 Coffee Break.

Songs Played:

Prince - "Kiss" (Under a Cherry Moon)

Squeeze - "Tempted" (Reality Bites)

Paul Westerberg - "Nowhere Man" (I Am Sam)

Earth, Wing and Fire - "Got to Get You Into My Life" (Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band)

Death Cab for Cutie - "Meet Me on the Equinox" (Twilight)

Olivia Newton-John - "Xanadu with Electirc Light Orchestra" (Xanadu)
