Van Morrison at the Movies - Soundtrack Hits is a 2007 compilation album by Van Morrison comprised of 19 songs as featured in various movies. The album was released on February 12, 2007 in the United Kingdom and February 13, 2007 in the United States. [1] [2] On the U.S. Billboard 200, the album debuted at number 35, selling about 29,000 copies in its first week.[3]and debuted at number 17 on the UK Top 75 Album Charts[4]

All of the songs on the album had been previously released by Morrison, and most were recorded by him before being used in a movie. Two date back to his group Them, before he began to record as a solo artist. Two of the recordings, however, were previously unreleased, including a version of "Brown Eyed Girl" recorded specifically for the collection. [5]
