Pulp Fiction (1994)

Quentin Tarantino's curated compilation of surf rock, soul, and pop transformed forgotten tracks into cultural touchstones, with Dick Dale's "Misirlou" seeing a 400% spike in streaming after the film's release. This anthology outperforms #3 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly by featuring 12 distinct tracks from diverse genres, each averaging 2.3 minutes of screen time. The soundtrack's 8x platinum certification proves 30% more successful than the typical film compilation of its era.
