best soundtrack

dantes74

it's probably been done before but shur why not do it again, what's your favourite soundtrack
my nomination is the blues brothers
it's got everything from blues soul rock
it's also the best film ever made

KIVES

Without a shred of analytic consideration...'Magnolia'...I'll change my mind in three seconds but I'll let that stand for the time being

phoenix2181

Forrest Gump soundtack has some great music as well...

Bubs101

Zelda and The Ocharina of Time soundtrack.
Might be a computer game but it's phenomanal

Dudess

Well there are types of soundtrack: some comprise previously recorded songs, others comprise material specifically written for the film, and others comprise a combination of the two.
I have two favourite soundtracks: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and Requiem For a Dream - both featuring material especially written for the movies.

Bah! Wrong wrong wrong, bow before the majesty of Blade Runner!

I'm listening to Tangerine Dreams "Sorceror/Wager of Fear" right now oddly enough and its very good as is Thief.

Mike.

No doubt at all in my own mind: Forrest Gump

delta_bravo

Michael Collins soundtrack is beautiful. Very hard to get the cd nowadays

agreed. complements and captures the imagination of the game's environment better than any film score i can think of.

Ah I'm an idiot to forget something so obvious. Now I have three favourite soundtracks: Requiem For a Dream, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and the sublime Blade Runner.

Once upon a time in the west
the brilliance of the film rests heavily on the brilliance of the music

No love for the Trainspotting soundtrack?
VR!

BaZmO*

The soundtrack to The Beach is a fantastic collection of songs, although strangely enough I've never seen the movie, heard it was sh1te so I wanted to read the book first but never got round to it.

Trainspotting is good too, although when I think of it I don't really have any other soundtracks that I can think of.

Actually I do, About A Boy by Badly Drawn Boy but it's not great. A couple of good songs on it but that's it.

Mr E

Orchestral music - Braveheart and Gladiator. Going off on a slight tangent, The Prison Break soundtrack is excellent (the score, not the songs), and I like Michael Giacchino's work in Lost and Alias (although it gets a bit 'samey').

Nea

Judgement Night -A hell of a lot better than the film.
Desperado - Sexy as hell!

cornbb

A Clockwork Orange

Sinfonia

off the top of my head...

Out Of Sight
High Fidelity
O Brother Where Art Thou?
GTA game soundtracks
and others already mentioned..

MoominPapa

Taxi Driver, The Third Man or Aguirra The Wrath of God(or pretty much any Popul Vuh scored Werner Hotzog movie)

Sir Graball

Almost anything by Gerry Goldsmith.
Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
Death in Venice-Mahler and Dirk Bogart some combination!
Diva
Wild at Heart ( despite Nicholas Cage )
Chinatown
There's hundreds more I suppose!

Zaph

Gotta agree with the OP, The Blues Brothers wins for me too. Others I like:

O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Pulp Fiction
Lost in Translation

Sinfonia

Grosse Point Blank
Platoon

Ah, yet another one I've forgotten. I'm truly an idiot.
Revision time. Again.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Blade Runner
Requiem For A Dream
Once Upon A Time In The West

That link is a big massive spoiler though. Might be a good idea to delete it (just to save your own ass, you know!)

Rustar

Theme from a Summer Place.....A Summer Place, the Theme,
From a Summer Place...It's the Theme......

That's the uber "Homer's Dad" version...I suppose you could listen to the Andy Williams or Percy Faith versions if you absolutely had to.

Recently:

OST Score Wise: Pirates3. I love this score. Critics don't seem to but it really is a fantastic album to get the spirits up!

Waiting to get the Transformers original score.

Actual Soundtrack wise? I've moved away from OSTs to original scores so I don't really have a standout OST atm

mike65

Once Upon A time in the West them

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L63_BCV9irs

The score for Star Trek the Motion Picture is very good, its able to standalone as an orchestral epic.

Mike.

Creature

For soundtracks I'd say The Crow, Singles and Batman Forever.

Scores; I really like ones for Gladiator and the Lord of The Rings trilogy.

Bren_M.Records

Saturday Night Fever, Iv got the album on vinyl and I feckin adore it!

dantes74

nobody seems to have mentioned in the name of the father
it's got some cracking tracks from bono and gavin friday plus sinead o' connor, jimi hendrix, the kinks, bob marley

ecoli

Okay top 3
1. Final Fantasy 7 sountrack(game not film)

+rep

Was just about to suggest Vangelis myself. The neighbours get treated to Main Titles once every few months....really blows the cobwebs off the tweeters.

Close second: Risky Business...but only because I love Tangerine Dream.
Honourable mention; LotR,...great soundscapes and orchestral work.

Holmer

How about :
Amelie
The Piano
A Very Long Engagement
Lost In Translation
Velvet Goldmine
Romeo & Juliet

Nichololas

I think everyone's forgetting about The Virgin Suicides soundtrack by Air.

That and Blade Runner.

grames_bond

i've got 2 that come to mind:

1) pulp fiction
2) school of rock

I knew I'd forgotten a good one, thank you! VS is a great, great soundtrack. Very atmospheric and dreamy

I agree 100%, in fact I think it was Air's best album. Less of a commercial sheen to it than their other stuff.

Dudess

Bits of The Virgin Suicides I like a lot, but some bits I don't.

ZiMZuM

Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Batman Returns or Corpse Bride for me,big Danny Elfman fan.

S.I.R

get out of here - thin lizzy from the prison break advert... not many movies i know with decent theme tunes

mise_me_fein

The soundtrack for dumb and dumber is great if you like good guitar rock from the mid 90s. Just proper tunes.

stovelid

Has to be Rumblefish by Stewart Copeland.

Your contribution to the thread now stands at a shout for Dumb and Dumber and one f*ckwitted comment. We really need more people like you here.

I haven't heard it in years but if I can remember the Prince soundtrack to the first Batman film was pretty good.

I just suggested dumb and dumber which is pretty good in my opinion.

So that cr*p you said,,,,,,,well it doesn't HAVE to be that.

The Mission gets my vote, followed by Gladiator.
