Best movie soundtrack?

Dont be at yourself

Well, whats your favourite move soundtrack?

My favourite is the Top Gun soundtrack - really 80's, classics such as Great Balls Of Fire, Dangerzone and You Take My Breath Away

Of more recent films, the Phantom Menace one wasn't bad, nor was Godzilla's.

Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaught on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham! You just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."
hello.

Hackers soundtrack is excellent.

Kali

repeated thread alert.

High Fidelity.
Pi Soundtrack.
Gladiator.

Belisarius

bah to you all the best score for a movie is by far the good the bad and the ugly , actually listen to it , perfect for the film , gladiator was very good too

The thing with these "best of" threads is that it's very difficult to choose just one in most topics... so I usually end up posting a few times with a few suggestions.

In this case...

Gladiator
Last of the Mohicans
City of Angels


That'll do... for now

Speaking of which...Grab the 2nd Gladiator CD, much better than the 1st imho.

Karl Hungus

Conan The Barbarian.


There could never be a better soundtrack.

t-bag

Check out the soundtrack to Superfly, one of those shaft like blacksploitation movies. All by Curtis Mayfield, so real funky choons on that.

D-Generate

Gladiator
Music inspired by the Matrix
Any Star Wars soundtrack

-ADREN-

Yup the Matrix sound track is a fair deadly one allright that with the Gladitor and American Pie is ok I suppose as well.

Belisarius

Err If thats the one with James Earl Jones * and that cookie "MAKO" , oh how i laughed at the little man* Its brilliant I love that main orchestoral piece , truly epic . Its actually a bloody good film . Not an altogether bad book either if i remember

Shrewgar!

harVee

Ennio Morricone's Fistful of Dollars.

Bomberman

Mission impossible!!!!!

PiE

Fight Club.

Robbo

The Lost Highway, put together by Trent Reznor or the Run Lola Run soundtrack.

Both complement the films really well.

Don't anybody try to suggest the soundtrack to American Pie is good, its all those crappy American "punk" and "ska" bands playing music about as well thought out as the average fart or dick joke

Jim Daniels

The Straight Story
The Mission
Once Upon a Time in America
A few Dollars More
Rushmore

El_Presidente

Pulp Fiction had a great soundrack, went very well with the film.

Belisarius

Heh For a fistful of dollars is the worst of the three *still very close* For a few dollars more is . of course a close second

Damn it Jim, im a doctor, not a Beefy King !

Shiminay

I don't own many sound tracks, but the Pulp Fiction one definitly worked very well with the film and the music was great to boot - Tarintino has good musical taste

The Matrix one was quite good too - pity all the songs featured weren't in the film.

If you like nu-metal, I believe the Scream 3 soundtrack was the one to get (but none of the songs were in the film).

All the best!

Wow I only read through this thread fairly quickly but didn't anyone even mention The Crow soundtrack!?!

What is this world coming to?

Greenbean

Osi you beat me too it. Theres absolutely no doubt - blade runner is the best film soundtrack I've ever heard; a sound track where the music is not bolted on, but tailored for every scene and so amazingly captures the mood and atmosphere. I'm particularly impartial to "tears in rain" and "memories of green".

Klay

The Crow Definately! (Original, not the second one mind..)

I'd stick The Matrix in 2nd and prolly Fight Club or Pulp fiction tied for 3rd.

I would have mentioned this...

If it wasn't for one thing...

CONAN THE BARBARIAN!

And yeah, it's the one with James Earl Jones.
Man, that film was some of his best work.

Belisarius

Quality Film , all the others paled in comparison , But the main orchestral track made it. Im going to have to find it on MP3 , I just watched it in German this morning ,taped from last night . Its just as good .

bugler

Yeah i would say the 'The Crow' too, brings back some memories n all .
Platoon's was quite good I thought.Been ages since I listened to it mind....

-ADREN-

Yeah **** it actually the High Fideluty sound track is quite a mixture ... tis goood

Son of Blam

"Bullitt: Music from the motion picture" composed and conducted by Lalo Schifrin.

Never go off on tangents, which are lines that intersect a curve at only one point and were discovered by Euclid, who lived in the 6th century, which was an era dominated by the Goths, who lived in what we now know as Poland.

What about Magnolia? Aimee Mann's songs are fantastic (and ok, you can disregard the crap Supertramp songs on the Soundtrack). My other votes would be Tommy, Quadrophenia, O Brother Where Art Thou, Carousel, West Side Story and Pal Joey.

but to reiterate:

Pi.

Lemming

Hmmm .. I could'a sworn I posted to this thread already .. oh well .. I'll go again in the hope that some unknown-to-me mod hasn't got a vendetta agains tme or something ...

The Platoon Soundtrack - gets my vote every time!

Barber's Adagio for Strings
Tracks of my tears - Smokie Robinson
White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane (I think)
Hello - The Doors
Respect - Aretha Franklin
The Dock of a Bay - Otis Redding
When a man loves a woman - Percy Sledge

(there are others on it but they're the main ones imo)

tibor

requiem for a dream
the virgin suicides

beardedchicken

the shine soundtrack, and the "inspired by shine" cd with the full versions of all the pieces on it

gladiator soundtrack
english patient soundtrack
and of course platoon soundtrack

davros

"Get Shorty" for sheer jazziness. It's one of the very few soundtracks I own.

A few of the James Bond films are up there:

- Dr. No (the full JB theme, Underneath the Mango Tree, Three Blind Mice...)
- Live and Let Die (title song and Louis Armstrong singing "We have all the time in the world" as well as the incidental music)

Goodshape

Don't mean to be all recent about it, but Vinilla Sky has just about the best soundtrack ever.

Cameron Crow's semi-autobiographical flick, Almost Famous, is well up there too.
