It was released by [[Geffen Records]] on [[November 25]], [[2003]], to modest commercial success, though many critics agree it was an accurate and consistent summation of their recording career. The album contains songs from all of their studio albums. The album takes its name from a line in "Mrs. Potter's Lullaby": "''If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts.''" ==Track listing== ;[[United States]] version # "[[Angels of the Silences]]" (''[[Recovering the Satellites]]'') # "[[Round Here]]" (''[[August and Everything After]]'') # "[[Rain King (Counting Crows song)|Rain King]]" (''August and Everything After'') # "[[A Long December]]" (''Recovering the Satellites'') # "[[Hanginaround]]" (''[[This Desert Life]]'') # "[[Mrs. Potter's Lullaby]]" (''This Desert Life'') # "[[Mr. Jones]]" (''August and Everything After'') # "Recovering the Satellites" (''Recovering the Satellites'') # "[[American Girls (Counting Crows song)|American Girls]]" (''[[Hard Candy (Counting Crows album)|Hard Candy]]'') # "[[Big Yellow Taxi]]" (''Hard Candy'') ([[Joni Mitchell]] cover) # "Omaha" (''August and Everything After'') # "[[Friend of the Devil]]" ([[Grateful Dead]] cover) (previously unreleased) # "[[Einstein on the Beach (For an Eggman)]]" (previously only released on the Various Artists compilation ''DGC Rarities Vol.1'') # "Anna Begins" (''August and Everything After'') # "[[Holiday in Spain]]" (''Hard Candy'') # "[[She Don't Want Nobody Near]]" (previously unreleased) Later versions of this disc include "[[Accidentally in Love]]", the Crows' hit single from the May 2004 hit movie ''[[Shrek 2]]''.
