Best soundtrack ever?

sxt

The "Silent hill 2 " game soundtrack is very good ,very dark and ambient.

ItsAWindUp

Trainspotting and Fight Club

Scubadevils

One that springs to mind for me is 'Midnight Cowboy' - which is also a firm favourite for me as a film... this track never fails to put shivers through me.

Harry Nilsson - Everybody's Talkin

Twin Peaks OST

grenache

For movie soundtracks, i think the Forrest Gump one is hard to beat. For movie scores, the tunes to Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is absolutely stunning. The late Michael Kamen did a superb job on this, the film's intro theme has to be the best ever.

For tv series, the BBC's Ashes to Ashes is quality. All early 80s stuff like The Jam and Roxy Music. Different class.

Velvet Goldmine had a pretty good soundtrack what with Roxy Music, T. Rex, Lou Reed and though no songs it had a Bowie vibe.

fergpie

the Underworld trilogy has three awsome sountracks.

Howard the Duck

Trainspotting and About a boy have been said already.

Platoon and Empire records are two i like.

Howard the Duck

Oh yeah and the Virgin Suicides thats a great soundtrack

Ardennes1944

any of the lord of rings or band of brothers

D'Agger

I've been listening to score soundtracks alot lately and Hanz Zimmer is simply fantastic - he consistently presents brilliant, uplifting music!

Best scores imo:

Transformers
The Dark Knight
The Pacific
Band of Brothers

fincollins

Soundtrack to Singles

Actually...into the wild aswell

Tabnabs

One soundtrack to rule them all...



And if you've never heard the Judgement Night soundtrack, do yourself a favour!

Pot Noodle =

Oceans 12

Lucifer-0

If you're into 80's music you can't beat the Donnie Darko soundtrack:

1. "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS – 3:04
2. "Head Over Heels" by Tears for Fears – 4:16
3. "Under the Milky Way" by The Church – 4:58
4. "Lucid Memory" by Sam Bauer and Gerard Bauer – 0:46
5. "Lucid Assembly" by Gerard Bauer and Mike Bauer – 0:52
6. "Ave Maria" by Vladimir Vavilov and Paul Pritchard – 2:57
7. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Steve Baker and Carmen Daye – 3:12
8. "Show Me (Part 1)" by Quito Colayco and Tony Hertz – 2:05
9. "Notorious" by Duran Duran – 4:00
10. "Stay" by Oingo Boingo – 3:38
11. "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division – 3:23
12. "The Killing Moon" by Echo & the Bunnymen – 5:55

And then there's the theme song as well which is amazing.

Glad someone mentioned it:D

Glad someone else mentioned Judgement Night, and along similar lines The Saint (Val Kilmer's version) is great too!

Underrated among Tarantino(-ish!) soundtracks but easily the equal of any of them is the soundtrack of From Dusk Til Dawn. Grosse Pointe Blank has a properly good (mostly) 80s soundtrack. Watchmen had a great mix of classics and more obscure choices.

Best one I've heard in a long time is the Kick-Ass soundtrack. Worth it for The Dickies' version of The Banana Splits theme song alone!

Icaras

2 not mentioned.
Hackers - still a good album if you like dance music.
24 hour party people - the film is about factory records and has sex pistols, joy division, new order and happy mondays on it.

+1 on Midnight Cowboy. I like this track even more:

Conan the Barbarian alsa has an ace soundtrack. Not sure if it was mentioned.

+1 Well, I haven't actually heard the soundtrack, but I can assume it's brilliant.

Almost Famous was also pretty good if for no other reason than America, Sparks & Simple Man are on it (bit of a guilty pleasure).


Edit: Somebody mentioned it above, but Grosse Point Blank is also a great (if inaccurate) soundtrack. Damnit, Singles and Into The Wild too!

Magnolia,amelie and goodbye lenin(or anything by yann), Pi, Requiem for a dream, and definately the virgin suicides..
