What about Magnolia? Aimee Mann's songs are fantastic (and ok, you can disregard the crap Supertramp songs on the Soundtrack). My other votes would be Tommy, Quadrophenia, O Brother Where Art Thou, Carousel, West Side Story and Pal Joey.

but to reiterate:

Pi.

Lemming

Hmmm .. I could'a sworn I posted to this thread already .. oh well .. I'll go again in the hope that some unknown-to-me mod hasn't got a vendetta agains tme or something ...

The Platoon Soundtrack - gets my vote every time!

Barber's Adagio for Strings
Tracks of my tears - Smokie Robinson
White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane (I think)
Hello - The Doors
Respect - Aretha Franklin
The Dock of a Bay - Otis Redding
When a man loves a woman - Percy Sledge

(there are others on it but they're the main ones imo)

tibor

requiem for a dream
the virgin suicides

beardedchicken

the shine soundtrack, and the "inspired by shine" cd with the full versions of all the pieces on it

gladiator soundtrack
english patient soundtrack
and of course platoon soundtrack

davros

"Get Shorty" for sheer jazziness. It's one of the very few soundtracks I own.

A few of the James Bond films are up there:

- Dr. No (the full JB theme, Underneath the Mango Tree, Three Blind Mice...)
- Live and Let Die (title song and Louis Armstrong singing "We have all the time in the world" as well as the incidental music)

Goodshape

Don't mean to be all recent about it, but Vinilla Sky has just about the best soundtrack ever.

Cameron Crow's semi-autobiographical flick, Almost Famous, is well up there too.

Bard

I'm sure I replied earlier too... but anyway...

Gladiator,
Last of the Mohicans,
2001: A Space Odyssey,
Mortal Kombat,
The Crow,
Reservoir Dogs,
Braveheart,
The Blues Brothers,
Good Morning Vietnam,
The Committments,
Highlander,
Aliens,
Jaws,
The Exorcist,
This is Spinal Tap...

The list of great Soundtrack Albums goes on and on...

what about bloody awful soundtracks?

Ladyhawke, for example... great film, - just fe<kin horrible music!

Pencapchew

Have to agree with Goodshape the Vanilla sky sountrack is brilliant.

That's a Clint Mansell (i.e. Clint from Pop Will Eat Itself) soundtrack, innit? I haven't listened to it since I saw the film, but I remember being very impressed.

There's a big difference between soundtracks and scores, especially since film makers have started to load song upon song into movies. My fave scores are:

The Knack (****e film, brilliant john Barry score)
Breakfast at Tiffanny's
The Wicker Man
The Party
Beat Girl
Bullitt (yes, mentioned already)
The Graduate (ditto)
Midnight Cowboy
Barbarella
Vamprios Lesbos
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (not sure what category this should be in as it's mostly songs by the ficticious band that the film's about)
Ring (best use of music in a horror film for years)

Fave soundtracks:
Gotta go with Lost Highway (counts as both score and s/track as it has original stuff by Angelo Badalamenti plus additional songs)
Wild at Heart (ditto)
Grosse Point Blank
Velvet Goldmine
High Fidelity
Hairspray
Pretty in Pink
Me Without You
Loved Pulp Fiction when it came out, a bit sick of it now

I'm sure there are loads more.

Jim Daniels

Amelie original soundtrack by Yans Tiersens.
Beautifully heart warming, just like the film

Dead Man Walking is pretty good too.....

Volvagia

I thought the matrix sondtrack was good in fact i think its the only soundtrack i have except for the ones to all the pokemon movies!

cournioni

Dracula 2000.

With Pantera playing "Avoid the Light" (possibly one of their best songs ever)
And Slayer "Bloodline" (brilliant song) on it what more could you ask?

Brautigan

Zabriskie Point soundtrack is class for aging hippie types like, er, a friend of mine. Get the double CD version if you can, lots of rare stuff by Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead and loads of 60's idealists you never heard from again.

On a similar Floyd tip, Obscured By Clouds - Music from La Valee ranks up there with the very best Floyd stuff ever committed to vinyl/tape/cd whatever.

I'm not that old.

Oh, and Vangelis' "Blade Runner" soundtrack is absolutely beautiful

Chowmein

Well i only have 2 soundtracks:
Matrix and South Park the Movie

But i hear requiem for a dream is ment to have a great sound track

aye absolutely brilliant soundtrack, movies a bit too err arty for me though it has to be said.

On a similar Floyd tip, Obscured By Clouds - Music from La Valee ranks up there with the very best Floyd stuff ever committed to vinyl/tape/cd whatever.

while its definitly the best score they done, i wouldnt rank it anywhere near wywh .. although all the tracks do blend quite nicely together (havent actually seen the film), it does go to show how good they were when they basically threw this album together in a couple of days iirc.. does have its pride of place in between meddle and dsotm on the shelf tho
More soundtracks not too bad either... led to some damn interesting live sets.

I'm not that old.

yeah ye are.

well he put it together and has several (3 in fact) rather kicking drum n bass tracks on it.. add to those, aphex twin, banca de gia, orbital, autechre.. poorest track on it is angel by massive attack which somehow manages to get onto every second cd these days.

But i hear requiem for a dream is ment to have a great sound track

Clint Mansell done the whole score for that himself.. listen to it and you can actually feel the whole ****ed up atmosphere and downward spiral the film takes.. as above mostly messed up techno and it works so well..

yellum

Clint Mansell and the Kronos Quartet wasn't it ? Got lots of their stuff yesterday.

Forgot to add the Omen soundtrack..
