The music used in films is often atmospheric, helping to convey a message and accentuating the visual medium so. The popular music on the charts, while occasionally containing undeniable emotion and messages, is for its primary purpose meant to appeal to a wide audience. As such, it's not going to resonate with most as deeply as some other sorts of music, but it's still going to affect most in the form of foot tapping, head bobbing, or some other similar acknowledgment.
You say that you like the music from films, acknowledging that they seem to add something to the films. With that knowledge, I'm trying to find some songs that could potentially appeal to you.
