casino - good blues and rock and roll

requim for a dream - quality stuff from krono's quartet

Nightwish · 11-01-2008 6:44pm

I much prefer movie scores as opposed to a collection of songs lumped together to form a soundtrack. Hans Zimmer's are wonderful. The music from Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean and King Arthur are my favourites. Amazingly epic if you listen to them through the right speakers.

'Ol Jack Chance · 11-01-2008 6:46pm

yeah scores can be good too i like the one from thin red line

slipss · 11-01-2008 7:10pm

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is great, all the songs interspersed by classic dialogue from the film, it helps if your a fan of the movie but you don't have to be, amazing collection of really good diverse songs Jumpin' Jack Flash, I Can't Turn You Loose, One Toke Over the Line ect.

Killaqueen!!! · 11-01-2008 7:29pm

I like scores as well. Love Schindlers List, Shawshank Redpemtion etc.

Some of my favourite soundtracks are The Last Kiss, Garden State and Curious George! I just love Zach Braff's taste in music! Actually, all the music that appears in Scrubs is good too.

damonjewel · 11-01-2008 7:30pm

Vanishing point is fantastic

Dregon · 11-01-2008 9:44pm

I love the Donnie Darko Soundtrack, a great choice of music for the film

damonjewel · 12-01-2008 7:53pm

Nailz · 13-01-2008 2:23pm

The Departed; Dropkick Murphy's.

cashback · 13-01-2008 9:09pm

I really like the soundtracks for Lost in translation, Dazed and Confused, Donnie Darko.
The Insider also has great music.

Rigsby · 13-01-2008 9:33pm

I love the soundtracks for most of the old "Dollar" films especially "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."

fortuneg · 13-01-2008 9:49pm

The Singles Soundtrack, fantastic grunge era soundtrack!

DubLegs · 13-01-2008 9:54pm

I love the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack, the original version.

Ennio Morricone can do no wrong, all his soundtracks (that I've heard) are sublime.

Kold · 14-01-2008 2:18am

Both of Jonny Greenwood's albums.

Jagera · 14-01-2008 2:34am

+1. and from "the mission".

Creature · 14-01-2008 1:08pm

The sountrack to Singles is great if you like early American grunge like I do (Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, that sort of thing).
Also score wise, Ennio Morricone ftw.

minidazzler · 15-01-2008 11:41am

the Thumbsucker Soundtrack is great.

Almost Famous has the BEST soundtrack of any movie I have ever seen.

I love the Dazed and Confused soundtrack.

Any Brat Pack movie with the classic mid 80's music is good in my book.

Crazy Christ · 15-01-2008 11:50am

25th Hour,
THe Omen

Full_Circle · 24-01-2008 8:04am

Theres simply too many to list, but Arnolds "Stargate" and Elfmans "Batman" would be a good place to start!

peteballagh · 24-01-2008 1:27pm

I love the Lord of the Rings soundtrack by Howard Shore.

Also mostly anything by Hans Zimmer a few highlights are
Gladiator
The Last Samurai
Pearl Harbor
Batman Begins
Pirates of the Caribbean

Harry Gregson Williams is quite good too
The Chronicles of Narnia
Kingdom of Heaven

Also Braveheart by James Horner

Howard the Duck · 24-01-2008 1:38pm

Empire Records
Most Wes Anderson films have great soundtracks

Darren R · 26-01-2008 1:20pm

I am Sam soundtrack.

tech77 · 26-01-2008 6:23pm

Bit of a random one this but the soundtrack to Good Will Hunting is great imo:

Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" during the slo-mo fight scene is beautifully done.

Elliot Smith's "Between the Bars" and "Miss Misery" are great.
IIRC "Miss Misery" is used in the last shot of Will on the road to California.

The ironic use of "Afternoon Delight" at the end credits is brilliant as well.

Latchy · 26-01-2008 6:31pm

The closing music score to JFK BY John Williams is a very moving and haunting piece of music .

From Amazon (reviews )

Williams' primary theme for JFK in "The Prologue" is an extremely moving dramatic piece played wonderfully on Trumpet by Tim Morrison and it captures the heraldic nostalgia of JFK's camelot and it's tragedy.

Bren_M.Records · 26-01-2008 6:39pm

Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack - I feckin love it!

Shryke · 26-01-2008 9:06pm

The Blues Brothers, obviously!

Pherekydes · 27-01-2008 12:14am

Listening to John Williams' Greatest Hits at the mo (literally). For soundtrack or movie themes he's hard to beat. I like stuff by Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer, Jerry Goldsmith (Star Trek-The Motion Picture), too.

Anybody a fan of Woody Allen's soundtracks (Sleeper springs to mind)? Not original stuff, obviously, but it's a great soundtrack.

Some of the older movies had great soundtracks. Laurence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago and The Big Country spring to mind.

kerash · 27-01-2008 2:57am

some of my faves are;
Almost Famous
Donnie Darko
Lost in Translation
Walk the Line:cool:
Pulp Fiction
Shaun of the Dead
Blues Brothers
Trainspotting
Reservoir Dogs
Waynes world
Billy Elliot

irishguy00 · 27-01-2008 3:41pm

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind has a great soundtrack. Jon Brion's style is so unique you have to love it. I think he also did some of the music to Magnolia too...

Jay Dee · 27-01-2008 3:59pm

One of the best was Ry Cooder's soundtrack to "Southern Comfort".

BTW if anyone has a copy of the soundtrack, please get in touch.

Bubs101 · 27-01-2008 5:32pm

Whaterver Bill and Ted has "God Gave Rock and Roll to You"

slipss · 02-02-2008 2:06am

Also, the soundtrack from the film about bowling, where the fella only has one hand (you know the one). So many classic songs in there, whats that called, something like juggernauts?

IanCurtis · 02-02-2008 2:26am
