Before his untimely death in 2003, Elliott Smith was the master of dreamy downbeat emo music. What 1990s movie soundtrack brought Smith to prominence with the song "Miss Misery"?

Fellow Portland native and director of Good Will Hunting Gus Van Sant chose Smith to write the music for the movie. Quoted in an article from the Boston Herald, Van Sant said "I had heard [Elliott Smith’s] music when I was doing To Die For. Or no, I actually had a record that a friend of ours had given us, because I was looking for something that was really raw."
