Rushmore: The film that spawned one of the greatest actor/director partnerships of all time, Murray was so charmed by up-and-coming Wes Anderson's script, he agreed to do the film for very little money. Its soundtrack was originally intended to solely comprise The Kinks, but Anderson subsequently expanded it to include other British invasion acts - The Who, Faces, John Lennon - as well as Unit 4 2 and Cat Stevens.

Broken Flowers: Any film by Jim Jarmusch is bound to have an impressive soundtrack (see his most recent Only Lovers Left Alive), and Broken Flowers is no exception. It combines garage rock such as The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Sleep with soul singers such as Marvin Gaye, and even the occasional classical piece.

The Royal Tenenbaums: Murray plays the husband of Gwyneth Paltrow's Margot, one of the strange and estranged Tenenbaum siblings. It's one of Wes Anderson's best soundtracks (which is saying a lot), and includes Nico's version of 'These Days', Paul Simon's 'Me and Julie Down By The Schoolyard' and two tracks from The Rolling Stones' brilliant Between The Buttons album.

Lost In Translation: We can only hope Murrays' next collaboration with Sofia Coppola results in such a rich soundtrack. This one includes five songs by Kevin Shields (including one by My Bloody Valentine), but it's the addition of Jesus & Mary Chain's 'Just Like Honey' over 'that' final scene which lifts it into brilliance.

Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou: Here, Murray plays the Steve Zissou of the comically convoluted title. The soundtrack includes several David Bowie songs performed acoustically, in Spanish, by Seu Jorge. Somehow, it works.

Zombieland: One of the greatest cameos in film history, Murray plays the zombie version of himself (who, it turns out, is not actually a zombie) whose quiet celebrity hideaway is trespassed upon by Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Woody Harrelson. The Velvet Underground, Metallica, Sea Wolf and The Black Keys are included in the film's soundtrack.

Where The Buffalo Roams: The film's soundtrack was scored by Neil Young, who sings a minimalist version of 'Home On The Range' for the opening credits. It also includes numbers such as 'All Along The Watchtower' and 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone'.

Moonrise Kingdom: Murray takes something of a backseat in this pubescent love story, playing the attorney father of 12-year-old Suzy Bishop. Its soundtrack is largely compiled of Benjamin Britten (including the brilliant 'Cuckoo') but the musical highlight is when the two pre-teen protagonists dance on the beach to Francoise Hardy's 'Le Temps De L'Amour.'

Space Jam: The second film on this list in which Murray plays himself, this time as an aspiring basketball player. Most notable for including the first release of R. Kelly's 'I Believe I Can Fly', if there was an award for the most '90s soundtrack ever, Space Jam would win.

Ghostbusters: We couldn't possibly live with ourselves if we didn't include Ghostbusters, which is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary with some marshmallow scented vinyl. Our highlight? Ray Parker Jr.'s iconic 'Ghostbusters' theme song.
