Great movie soundtracks with awesome indie/alt music

Any movie that looks like it was remotely influenced by the Wes Anderson sort of quirky comedy will probably have Indy and older music from the 60s-70s in it. Sometimes an obscure track from a really popular artist.

JUNO

All songs are by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova

Couldn't agree more.
Except, I think Once was my favorite from it.
Definitely deserved more than the minute it got during the credits of the movie.

here's another vote for lost in translation and wes anderson films. i found nick and norah's infinite playlist to actually have some pretty good stuff.

The Squid and The Whale, The Tracey Fragments, and Shortbus all have great music.

I watched The Worlds Greatest Dad the other day... Great Movie, found 2 sounds on it that were indie they wheren't on the offical soundtrack the official soundtrack was Bruce Hornsby....

But I found two great Indie tracks when watching it I had to look up... I been enjoying both tracks but the Deadly Syndrome has become one of favs.

The Deadly Syndrome - I Hope I Become a Ghost

Dont be afraid your already dead -Akron Family
