Best Movie sound track

GreenHell

Seems like the place to ask such a question........... well?

PhilipMarlowe

My favourite would be Good Will Hunting...

But then I am biased because I think that Elliott Smith is God....and he did the music for the film......

My personal faves: Thin Red Line, Gladiator, Krull, and also Glory - one of the most beautiful soundtracks ever. Thats for the orchestral side of things.

Songs wise: Empire Records gets my numero uno vote, but they still left half the cool songs in the film out

plastic membrane

uhh..Blade Runner, followed by the Heat soundtrack. And i have special affection for Pulp Fiction, eventhough everyone and his dog bought the damn think back when..

Manach

My choice is Gladitor, mix of Wagner & new age.

Karla

Yeah I'd have to say Gladiator too.
Hans Zimmer is just amazing

ThunderingMike

The Straight Story. Touching and downright brilliant. I also quite liked the Saving Private Ryan Sound Track when I was listening to it in HMV when I was there a couple of weeks ago. I might get it.

So the pope puts down the Badger and leans over to me and says , " My son , sometimes you talk a lot of ****. Knock it off." Before I could speak in walks Christopher Lloyd with a time machine under his arm and just then...it started to get weird...

Bullitt

Yes some good ones in there boys. Blade Runner, Glory and The Mission all get my vote. I can't remember the Gladiator soundtrack as i only saw the film once and was too wrapped up in its visual effects to play attention to the music.

If your looking for a good soundtrack i can recommend "The Big Chill" + its a good film too.

A bit off the topic here but hurray "American Beauty" will be available to rent on video soon, i always ment to go and see it in the cinema a second time and am kicking myself cause i never did.

PhilipMarlowe

at the risk of being pedantic...I did mean that elliott did (most of) the music in the film, not for...sorry.

ummm...6 out of the 15 tracks on the Good Will Hunting soundtrack are performed by Elliott Smith...(2 by Danny Elfman....)

not to be confused with the score of the film...

must agree though, his scores are usually 'mazin....not to mention his orchestral arrangement of 'between the bars'...

Starred Robert De Niro (sp?) and Jeremy Irons. About a settlement of Indians and auld Jeremy trying to teach them the faith.
Robert hunts them but is converted to the faith and their way of life.
Soundtrack and visuals of this film are uplifting, some of the best cinematography I've seen. Tis definately worth a look

Most famous tune from it would be Gabriels Obo(sp?? ) ..

Tis deadly

Ennio Morricone did j'aul soundtrack, btw.

***** Feel my Evil Neon Claws *****

Yossarian

The clockwork orange soundtrack is pretty good. Along with Blues Brothers, Ennio Moricone's stuff, Gross Point Blanke, Apocalypse Now, Return of the Jedi...

Stephen.

Bard

Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels is pretty damn good... as well as (sorry, I know... but) most of the Mortal Kombat soundtrack.

Also - M:I2... but that doesn't really count as it's of the "music from or INSPIRED by" category (as most of the tracks don't make it into the movie)...

Shiminay

Scream 3 was the same as MI2 - myself and my mates sat through it in the Castlebar cinema waith for Wait and Bleed (Slipknot song) to come along cause we were gonna go crowd surfing to it

But it wasn't on it
We were sad
(yes, I mean sad in every sense of the word )

I have the "Spy Who Shagged Me" OST - it's not bad at all, but I prefer the metaly stuff from The Matrix and Spawn

The Blues Brothers original soundtrack is the best

- Munch
- Sh33r l33tn35$, i tell you
- Fortress.ie

Hobbes

If you mean the whole soundtrack, then Grosse Point Blank.

If it's just one song then "Your so cool" by Hans Zimmerman. It's the song played in True Romance where Alabama is voice overing at the start.

Paladin

TOP GUN!

Karla

With you there Hobbes, great track!

And Grosse Point Blank has to be the best soundtrack ever, the only one I've bothered to go out and buy! Now that says something

Excelsior

man on the moon is pretty good.

cassius

Last of the Mohicans
Heat
any Ennio Morricone
and the usual Tarentino ****

Borric

I suppose "The Last Waltz" would count as a soundtrack
