favorite movie soundtracks: whats yours?
 

i LOVE the soundtracks to garden state, amelie, rushmore....and many more. just curious about others favorites?

hugs, kate :D

kill bill mission: impossible donnie darko ernest and the rockers (?)

im dont really buy movie soundtracks but i like Pulp Fiction, south park:bigger longer and uncut and Team America:world police. Matt stone and trey parker can make some really funny songs

Predator
Predator2
The Rock
Shaolin Soccer

General instrumental stuff that packs a bit of a punch.

I'll divide mine into 2 catagories - 1. 'Proper' soundtracks, written for the film. 2. Collections of songs played in the film. ;)

1. Once Upon a Time in America

2. 24 Hour Party People

The Big Chill

forest gump & trainspotting

Mine are:

1. Lord Of The Rings - all 3 are amazing
2. Donnie Darko
3. Save The Last Dance

Donnie Darko
The Ring (oh that song at the end of the American version!)
Spiderman 2

Mine are

1) Braveheart
2) Forest Gump
3) Gladiator
4) The Shawshank Redemption
5) The Shining
6) Kill Bill (both volumes)
7) Donnie Darko

All these soundtracks really suited the particular film and helped achieve special moments in each of them respectively that would not have been possible without the magical scores or creative songs used. Try listening to movies like these without the soundtrack and you will see how much is lost and gained by great soundtracks.

Mine:

1.Snatch(+the two tracks in the trailer that werent in the movie)

2.Pulp Fiction

PS: Spooky.Forest Gump has two R-s Forrest Gump

Damn right Dunhill, I love both of those soundtracks. Tacitus, I believe the first category you mentioned would define a score, not a soundtrack. I like anything involving Tarantino/Rodrigues, especially From dusk 'til dawn. I know I should burn for that though. Snatch is a favourite of mine as well.

mine?...
THE CROW ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK
THE CROW ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SCORE
RESIDENT EVIL ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SCORE
RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK.

I really liked the version of Crying in Mulholland dr.

Jurassic Park, Snatch, Pirates of the Caribbean, Moulin Rouge, The Shawshank Redemption, Lord of the Rings.

Too many to mention.

Kill Bill. Got me into a lot of music. Including Shivaree. :D

Rushmore was a little dissapointing, because its missing some good Stones stuff, etc., I guess Empire Records

Probably Team America: World Police would be my favorite.

I'm a sucker for songs that make me laugh, and I was in tears after I heard the song about how bad Pearl Harbor sucked. What was the title . . .

Joe Dirt - This movie and soundtrack work best when listened to in an old car with crappy speakers.
The Lion King - You laugh and I start stabbing things.
Wayne's World - Can be listened to following the Joe Dirt soundtrack.

mine would be

Clueless
Empire Records
My Girl
Reality Bites
A Life Less Ordinary
Romeo & Juliet
Angus

Human Traffic, Chicago. Apart from that i like the new compilatiosn which seem to be comming out lately which incorporate the best songs from different movies. the only problem with them is that they tend to only include the mainstream songs.

The big lebowski, Pulp fiction,LOTR, O brother where art thou

yeah that was pretty good wasn't it, I was digging that bluegrass sound. I love the Gladiator soundtrack, also Garden State, Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption (wonderous), The Matrix, Empire Records & Almost Famous (great old music) and Donnie Darko had decent music. If the soundtrack adds something really special to a movie then it's gonna be up with my favs, cause while some movies have great music they just don't use it properly for the right scene and the right volume ect..

Definately the Team America soundtrack!
10 things i hate about you
Clueless
Crouching tiger hidden dragon
All the American Pie Films
Save the Last Dance
The Wedding Singer
Connie and Carla

My favorite soundtrack is Pulp fiction but Natural Born Killers, Forrest Gump, Dazed & Confused and The Good, The Bad & The Ugly are all worth a mention

You gotta love Reservoir Dogs and the super sounds of the seventies.

Rock N Roll High School has lots of good tracks by The Ramones.

Did anyone mention Saturday Night Fever, it's not my kind of music but it's definitely a classic soundtrack.

Wow... I don't think anyone has brought up my personal fav... High Fidelity... Filled with a wonderfully diverse world of music and features a very surprising Marvin Gaye cover.

I have a soft spot for The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Others include Reservior Dogs, Empire Records and The Gate.

Office Space had some pretty slick tunes.

Damn it feels good to be a gangster.

The Ring never released a soundtrack.

I'm going to have to say Trainspotting, Rushmore, Snatch, and the Life Aquatic.

Casshern
its the one ive listened to the most :)

Desperado.

Hands down.

Two that come to mind right now are: The Royal Tenenbaums and Reservoir Dogs

Mine are definitely Hedwig And The Angry Inch (collection of original songs) and Once Upon A Time In The West (mainly instrumental)

Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill Vol.1

Donnie Darko, definitely. not what the director originally wanted in the regular version of the movie, but i've gotten used to it and when watching the director's cut now, i kinda miss the first version i had seen. one of the greatest songs ever in a movie at the end. tears. and then there's this religious music and singing when Donnie and Frank are in the movie theater... wow.

The Rules of Attraction
American Beauty
Go
Fear and Loathing
Reservoir Dogs
Requiem For a Dream ( the main theme is soooo addictive )
High Fidelity
American Psycho
Save the Last Dance
Donnie Darko
Kill Bill ( Vol1&2 but more 1)
Moulin Rouge
The new Dawn of the Dead soundtrack was alright

One of my faves too.

Believe it or not, I really love the banjo, so one of my favorites has always been the soundtrack for Deliverance. :yup:

hei, you should try Laura Veirs in her album The Triumphs & Travels of Orphan Mae... !

Donnie Darko
The Royal Tennenbaums
Laurel Canyon

a tale of two sisters

Turn off the sound go to Multimedia and select O.S.T. and the second and 3rd one is my favorite one if you want to check it out that is

Kill Bill vol 1 and 2 ask me if you want the whole soundtrack i can send it to you through AIM so just post back here and i'll give out my SN

all of Ryuhei Kitamura's films which are usually very technoish so if you like that kinda stuff then you'll probably like this too

https://www.ryuhei-kitamura.com/en/index.html

a sample of some of the soundtracks in his movies and

Napoleon Dynamite.

I love the Jurassic Park soundtrack. The music fits the movie so perfectly its incredible. I think that it is John Williams at his best. I went to one of his concerts but he didnt play it which got me mad.

ah yes
I'm glad somebody mentioned this because that soundtrack was very memorable to me when i was a child

<Sleepless in Seattle>!!!the songs in it are really great. They could be as much romantic as you can imagine.(Bye Bye black bird)(Stand by a man)(When I fall in love)
oh~~man,I can't say more, they are bringing me to tears.

Akira. Not enough gamelan jegogging in other film soundtracks.

Snatch
Oceans 11
Oceans 12
Lock,Stock & Two Smoking Barrels
O Brother, Where Art Thou
Pulp Fiction
Boiler-Room
Buffalo Soldiers
Did I mention Snatch?.......

matux, your selections are one of perfection. Snatch is one of the best movies ever made. I am glad you mentioned boiler-room as well, the composer of that movie goes by Angel, and I know her, she is very talented.

O' Brother
Star Wars
Dune
2001
Pump Up the Volume
Singles
School Daze

Dead Men Walking
Amelie
Stealing Beauty

I think two movies that use thier music the best are

My favorite movie soundtrack would probably have to be the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack.

Recently, Sin City and Kung Fu Hustle.

Non-original music: Easily Shaun of the Dead. It makes the best use of Queen ever.

Original score: Once Upon a Time in the West. Harmonica like none other.

Little Shop of Horror
Fighting temptations
Ray (just watched 5h ago today)

Well, these movies are heavily music oriented, so I guess they must have good soundtracks.

the Good the Bad and the Ugly
Reservoir Dogs
O Brother Where Art Thou
Lord of the Rings 1,2,3
Kill Bill 1,2
Anchorman

I'll think of more later

More and Obscured by Clouds also. Pink Floyd did them both so that means they are awesome. I own OBC and it's amazing, buy it or download it now!

Have a guess. ;)

I might be a geek, but I love Lord of The Rings, And think Howard Shore's Soundtrack for those films is brilliant.

Whatever happened to Vileness Fats?

Akira
Clerks "CHEWBACCA" !!!!!
Judgement Night
Johnny Mnemonic
Fight Club
Good Will Hunting
Hackers
Lock, Stock and 2 smoking barrels
Natural Born Killers
Pulp Fiction
The Saint
Singles
Snatch
Trainspotting

Freddy Vs. Jason

LotR, Trainspotting, Velvet Goldmine, Snatch, Forrest Gump and Merlin

Some good ones I didn't see mentioned:

Foxy Brown (Willie Hutch)
2001: ASO
The Spy Who Loved Me (Marvin Hamlisch)
Mishima: A Life In 4 Chapters (Philip Glass)
Morvern Callar

Who's That Knocking At My Door, 1967, has a very nice soundtrack, including The Doors.

Garden State
The Graduate
Labyrinth
The Man from Snowy River

blues brothers mainly cause its the only movie i can think of with cab calloway in the sound track

nothing can beat the whole lord of the rings soundtrack. too powerful. however, the batman theme tune is one of my personal faves.

EDITED to Remove SPAM

Booo.

Coo-coo-ka-choo.

The rock- Hans zimmer
Pirates of the caribbean- klaus badelt..mostly
Crimson tide- hans zimmer
Armageddon- hans zimmer
edward scissorhands,nightmare before christmas- danny elfman
muppet traesure island

Armageddon is a good one. I also enjoyed the "Stand by Me" track. Love the old 60's stuff.

I really enjoyed the soundtracks of The Man in the Iron Mask, Stepmom, and Ever After.

Re: favorite movie soundtracks: whats yours?
 

I guess I'm a traditionalist. I love soundtracks and listen to them all the time, but they're mostly instrumental soundtracks.

My favs:

Gladiator -- Zimmer (this is really an amazing soundtrack and rather different in parts, thanks to Lisa Gerrard's contributions)

Braveheart
Pirates 1, 2

Howard Shore's LOTR soundtracks. They're simply amazing.

I just bought TDK soundtrack. Boy, that music they composed for the Joker is very disturbing. Yikes.

Same here, D.Bree. Although I never saw the film "GoodFellas", I have seen the films "Saturday Night Fever" and American Graffiti"..ad enjoyed them very much. I don't have the soundtracks to either of them, but I can imagine what they're like.
