    Well, whats your favourite move soundtrack?

    My favourite is the Top Gun soundtrack - really 80's, classics such as Great Balls Of Fire, Dangerzone and You Take My Breath Away wink.gif

    Of more recent films, the Phantom Menace one wasn't bad, nor was Godzilla's.

    Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaught on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham! You just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."

    The thing with these "best of" threads is that it's very difficult to choose just one in most topics... so I usually end up posting a few times with a few suggestions.

    In this case...

    Gladiator
    Last of the Mohicans
    City of Angels


    That'll do... for now smile.gif

    Bard

    Speaking of which...Grab the 2nd Gladiator CD, much better than the 1st imho.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Conan The Barbarian.


    There could never be a better soundtrack.

    Check out the soundtrack to Superfly, one of those shaft like blacksploitation movies. All by Curtis Mayfield, so real funky choons on that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,945 ✭✭✭D-Generate


    Gladiator
    Music inspired by the Matrix
    Any Star Wars soundtrack


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,368 ✭✭✭-ADREN-


    Yup the Matrix sound track is a fair deadly one allright that with the Gladitor and American Pie is ok I suppose as well.

  • Registered Users Posts: 5,538 ✭✭✭PiE


    Fight Club.

    The Lost Highway, put together by Trent Reznor or the Run Lola Run soundtrack.

    Both complement the films really well.

    Don't anybody try to suggest the soundtrack to American Pie is good, its all those crappy American "punk" and "ska" bands playing music about as well thought out as the average fart or dick joke smile.gif

    Pulp Fiction had a great soundrack, went very well with the film.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 784 ✭✭✭Belisarius


    Heh For a fistful of dollars is the worst of the three *still very close* For a few dollars more is . of course a close second

    Three, off the top of my head:

    Oh Brother Where Art Thou
    The Straight Story
    American Beauty

    Damn it Jim, im a doctor, not a Beefy King !


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    I don't own many sound tracks, but the Pulp Fiction one definitly worked very well with the film and the music was great to boot - Tarintino has good musical taste smile.gif

    The Matrix one was quite good too - pity all the songs featured weren't in the film.

    If you like nu-metal, I believe the Scream 3 soundtrack was the one to get (but none of the songs were in the film).



    All the best!

    The last thread it was Blade Runner, and it still is.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 622 ✭✭✭darthmise


    Wow I only read through this thread fairly quickly but didn't anyone even mention The Crow soundtrack!?!

    What is this world coming to?


  • Registered Users Posts: 897 ✭✭✭Greenbean


    Osi you beat me too it. Theres absolutely no doubt - blade runner is the best film soundtrack I've ever heard; a sound track where the music is not bolted on, but tailored for every scene and so amazingly captures the mood and atmosphere. I'm particularly impartial to "tears in rain" and "memories of green".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 64 ✭✭Klay


    The Crow Definately! (Original, not the second one mind..)

    I'd stick The Matrix in 2nd and prolly Fight Club or Pulp fiction tied for 3rd. smile.gif

    I would have mentioned this...

    If it wasn't for one thing...

    CONAN THE BARBARIAN!

    And yeah, it's the one with James Earl Jones.
    Man, that film was some of his best work.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 784 ✭✭✭Belisarius


    Quality Film , all the others paled in comparison , But the main orchestral track made it. Im going to have to find it on MP3 , I just watched it in German this morning ,taped from last night . Its just as good biggrin.gif .
