Robert Pattinson as Art in How to Be. The layers make the man.

I know this is sort of random, but I put the songs from Robert Pattinson’s movie, How to Be (2008), in the order they appear in the film. There is a spoiler-free list followed by a list describing where the song appears in the film.  All songs appear on the soundtrack of How To Be, except where noted.

Of course, we have the same list for Twilight and New Moon, if you want to check it out.

If you’re a huge Rob Pattinson fan, such as moi, you should check out How to Be. As an American, I describe it as very “British.” Rob is excellent in it and his character is as far from Edward Cullen as vampire-ly possible
