I think movie soundtracks are sometimes just as important as the quality of the actors. Especially if I can’t personally relate to a movie. The absence of that connection can be filled with a well placed song. The conduit is now open; emotions may flow. To me this is the step up from liking a movie to loving a movie. Some of my favorite examples include Garden State, My Blueberry Nights, 500 Days of Summer, 7 Pounds, and Happythankyoumoreplease. I can listen to these soundtracks and see the parallel scenes in the movie. It’s therapeutic to me.
other therapeutic things for me:
Playing tetris and making the blocks fit together
When mopping the floor, watch as the dry spots become glossy with water.
The feeling of the door unlocking when you turn the key
Opening champagne
Feeling that your teeth are dirty, then brushing them and feeling how clean they are.
Revving the engine
Jazz
