    Apologies if this has been discussed many times in the past.

    Just wondering what the best soundtrack of all time is.

    I love the soundtrack for Inception, in many ways, its a masterpiece. Seen Tron Legacy the other day and I have to say, Daft Punk did an amazing job.

    Any other suggestions?

    Trainspotting and Pulp fiction have got to be high on the list

    True but I think there are two kinds of OST:

    1. A great collection of songs which really fit the movie e.g. goodfellas.

    2. An original composition from scratch.

    The soundtrack from Notorious, the film based on the life of The Notorious B.I.G. There are some classics on it; Juicy, Hypnotize, What's Beef, Kick In The Door. Unreal quality in it.

    The LOTR soundtrack is brilliant as well. "Concerning Hobbits" is a great piece and fits the whole atmosphere created in the scenes so perfectly.

    Most recently I've been listening to and enjoying the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World soundtrack. Some of the best in my opinion are Wipeout 2097 and Wip3out, as well as Lord of the Rings and 24. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 189 ✭✭WinstonOno


    Fight Club had some good tunes, and some of the songs eddie vedder wrote on the Into the Wild soundtrck were nice.
    Anyone ever heard of an irish film called On the Edge? Starred Cillian Murphy in an early role. Had some great songs in it, the frames, therapy, david gray, smashing pumpkins. Could never find a soundtrack for it tho.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,302 ✭✭✭**Vai**


    Dazed and Confused OST. 70's tunes, nice.


  • Registered Users Posts: 240 ✭✭Manchegan


    I doubt if any OST can top Magical Mystery Tour, The Beatles's finest album

    "Magical Mystery Tour" (McCartney)
    "The Fool on the Hill" (McCartney)
    "Flying" (John Lennon/Paul McCartney/George Harrison/Richard Starkey)
    "Blue Jay Way" (Harrison)
    "Your Mother Should Know" (McCartney)
    "I Am the Walrus" (Lennon)
    "Hello, Goodbye" (McCartney)
    "Strawberry Fields Forever" (Lennon)
    "Penny Lane" (McCartney)
    "Baby, You're a Rich Man" (Lennon)
    "All You Need Is Love" (Lennon)

    The last four songs were tacked onto that release and weren't part of the original soundtrack. The original album ended with Hello Goodbye.

    And Blue Jay Way is sh¡t in anyone's book...

    Soundtrack to "The Blues Brothers" is fantastic!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,784 ✭✭✭FortuneChip


    Eddie Veddar's album for Into The Wild is stunning!
    The movie and album are just synonymous with eachother. "Rise" and "Long Night" are excellent tracks.

    As for musical scores, Clint Mansell has built up quite a CV. The Requiem OST can almost make me feel paranoid or tense at time, totally helps you be where the character is, in particular the scenes with Mrs Goldfarb.
    And for The Fountain, his soundtrack is just mindblowing! Death Is The Road To Awe gives me goosebumps!
