Best/Fave Movie Soundtracks?

'Ol Jack Chance

Mine would be

heat - I like mobys version of new dawn fades and brian eno

casino - good blues and rock and roll

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

Nightwish

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

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

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!!!

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.

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

Jagera

+1. and from "the mission".

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

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

25th Hour,
THe Omen

Full_Circle

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

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

Empire Records
Most Wes Anderson films have great soundtracks

Darren R

I am Sam soundtrack.

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.

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

Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack - I feckin love it!

Shryke

The Blues Brothers, obviously!

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.
