60 Favorite film soundtracks with BlueLion

I love a great film, but I also love me a great soundtrack. The good thing about soundtracks is that they can be great even if the film isn't, so I don't love all these movies, some of them I only like.

I'll be listing only some of my very favorites from each soundtrack.

Enjoy.

Great stuff BlueLion. My favorite so far is Halloween, which is just a classic score.

And hot damn, you have Upstream Color on here. Nice.

I care about your thread Blue Lion. My problem is I notice the score while watching a film but rarely remember it long after. There are a few exceptions for me Star Wars and Punch Drunk Love come immediately to mind. I do remember songs more often. That is why of you first few sets, Rocky would be my favorite by far.

There are some great choices here...nice to see some love for Rocky and The Gangs of New York.

Crimson Tide, cool choice. Did you like the movie itself? I myself love it.

Now that's what I call a top notch topic!

Additional kudos for including Werckmeister Harmonies.

Yeah, I really dug it. Thought it was pretty cool. My favorite Denzel Washington film by far.


Thank you sir!

I really love the score for Werckmeister Harmonies. Fits like a glove.

Good list so far...

But Oldboy deserves a but higher spot IMO.

Maybe it does, but I honestly didn't pay that much attention to the order. With music it all depends on the mood for me, it's difficult to even compare some of them

I love Simon & Garfunkel from The Graduate and Rammstein from Lost Highway. I don't remember that song from Lost Highway, but I'm like Seanc in that I forget a lot of the music used in movies.

The Halloween score is awesome too. That used to be my ringtone but it's not fun to hear that when your home alone. I freaked myself out too much and changed it.
