2. Katharine Hepburn breaks the heel of her shoe in _Bringing up Baby._ Her shoe really did accidentally break, and she ad-libbed the whole scene; she was so funny, it made the final cut.

Maria has come along from being an undisciplined postulant for the abbey to marrying the wealthy and handsome Captain Von Trapp - as she strides toward the altar, the soundtrack has the nuns sing the refrain of “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria”, in which they initially criticized her behavior, only now to the sound of a triumphant wedding march.

Not a great movie, but a terrific soundtrack. Here’s the last tune I mentioned - some of the most beautiful _ST_ music ever written IMHO: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj4z2Y1y2Ak](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj4z2Y1y2Ak)

6. _Airport_: Airport Main Title Theme; Airport Love Theme; Ada Quonsett: Stowaway; Inez’ Theme; Emergency Landing!

for the record, I consider a ‘soundtrack’ to be made up of music composed specifically for the movie – not a ‘greatest hits’ compilation like on “La Bamba” or “Max Overdrive” or “American Graffiti”

7. _Fantasia_ (1940): Toccata and Fugue in D Minor; The Nutcracker Suite; The Sorcerer’s Apprentice; Dance of the Hours; Night on Bald Mountain

This was a difficult choice as the sequel _Fantasia 2000_ included many great songs as well.
