I'd have to agree.

it's pretty good, but Mulholland Drive's soundtrack is far superior

Mulholland Dr. is such an amazing film. I love it.This scene in particular is amazing.




The amazing sounds of Blade Runner are beautiful as well. Hypnotizing.

Why thank you Proximity. I'll see you Tuesday.

It was good, but this movie's music left a bigger impression on me. Especially Mysteries of Love which is simply beautiful.

Oh Jesus, I'm really doing this. There's too many. Alright... some of my favourite soundtracks/snippets/moments:

Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild" and Dennis Hopper & Peter Fonda on those iconic bikes in the opening credit sequence of Easy Rider:



"Good Morning" from Singin' in the Rain, plus most of the rest of that soundtrack:



Pretty much all of Yann Tiersen's gorgeous score for Amélie. "Comptine d'un autre été, l'après midi" ("Rhyme of Another Summer Afternoon", according to Google Translate) is a standout:



Lawrence of Arabia Overture by Maurice Jarre. So stirring:



The Cat Stevens soundtrack is a big part of why I fell in love with Harold and Maude:

Marty's rendition of "Johnny B. Goode" in Back to the Future:

• Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings score. All of it.
• Alan Silvestri's Back to the Future score(s), and of course Huey Lewis and the News in the same film, plus "Hip to Be Square" in American Psycho
• Satie's "Gymnopedie No. 1" in My Dinner with Andre

I think Woody Allen deserves mention here...Woody's taste in music is pretty much flawless and he is an expert for picking the right music for the right scene...every bit of music in HANNAH AND HER SISTERS and MANHATTAN is perfection.

I didn't know this, that's awesome!

Drive's got a few mentions here, but seeing as it just came on randomly on y tablet, it gets another vote. Perfect.

Love the Dust Brothers soundtrack for Fight Club, great fun as well.

"Forgiveness" by Panu Aaltio from the Soundtrack "Tummien perhosten koti"

Batman begins/Dark Knight/Dark Knight Rises - Hans Zimmer, gets me pumped.

Afro Samurai Soundtrack as well
