Favorite movie soundtrack.

[peruban]

Mine would have to be "Magnolia", Aimee Mann really shines on that album.

[TX Screwball]

1. "Repo Man"

Music of my youth.

[yellowdogintexas]

2. 'The Big Chill' music of MY youth...and 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' for sheer

beauty.

[hellbound-liberal]

7. Big Chill was my first thought too. House of Flying Daggers for

the same reason.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcXCq6JgF_c

I have to give a nod to the Blues Brothers too. GREAT MUSIC in that movie too.

[BrklynLiberal]

39. The Big Chill gets my vote.

[redqueen]

3. The Nightmare Before Christmas

I think that probably goes for my kids, too. We love it. :)

[lizziegrace]

4. Currently, it's the Lake House soundtrack

:)

[CBHagman]

5. Currently a tie between...

...Ennio Morricone's score for The Mission and Patrick Doyle's for Henry V.

[SoxFan]

6. Star Wars

Yeah, I know, I'm supposed to name some obscure Czech art house flick with a Philip Glass score.

Fuck that.

[av8rdave]

8. 2001 and Forrest Gump

[AlCzervik]

[Zavulon]

11. Probably the soundtrack from The Crow.

It's one of the few that didn't annoy me every other song.

[Radical Activist]

12. Magnolia is a really good one. I pick Amandla.

From the movie about the music of the South African anti-apartheid movement. It has a lot of good songs that are unlike most music I hear.

Oh Brother Where Art Thou and Office Space are runner ups.

[tigereye]

13. 0 Brother has great music, Crouching Tiger, Blade Runner, and

Alladin has great Danny Elfman songs (his great songs saved me from madness when my son was young and watched it incessantly)


The film with John Cusack running the record store in Chicago has great music- I can't think of the name of it at the moment.

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Juno

[Aristus]

15. Howard Shore's score for "The Fellowship Of The Ring" is amazing.

Unlike many composers, he's not afraid of sounds that might be considered "unmusical". For the scene in the mines of Moria, he included a men's chorus reciting a chant in dwarvish. He included non-singers in the chorus, including wrestlers, rugby players, big, burly stevedore types to give the vocals a tough, solid sound. That was refreshingly inventive.

[Doc_Technical]

16. "Doctor Zhivago"

and "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"

[mitchum]

17. "Aguirre,The Wrath of God" by Popol Vuh

[GOPisEvil]

18. "Last of the Mohicans"

[HEyHEY]

19. hmmm...... the life aquatic, lawrence of arabia for two

[TrogL]

20. Exodus

[Ivan Sputnik]

21. My favorites are

classic instrumental film scores, from composers like Bernard Herrmann ("Vertigo" and other Hitchcock scores), Alex North ("Cleopatra", "Spartacus", etc.), and John Williams ("Star Wars", "Jurassic Park" and others too numerous to mention).

[Zomby Woof]

22. Lawrence of Arabia

Maurice Jarre scored some of the best film music.

[pokerfan]

23. The Graduate

The Sound Of Silence, Mrs. Robinson, Scarborough Fair, Sound Of Silence...

Pulp Fiction has a pretty good soundtrack. Also. You betcha.

[JCMach1]

24. Brimstone and Treacle

Shrek 1 and 2

[BrklynLiberal]

40. That was a great movie.

Most people I speak to have never heard of Brimstone and Treacle.

[JCMach1]

56. a great... diabolic little movie...

Which one... which one will it be... Sting's music on this one really points toward the music on Synchronicity...

Two awesome Squeeze songs, some other cool stuff. All together, the awesome soundtrack that no one has ever heard of.

[bluethruandthru]

25. The Mission n/t

[Jamastiene]

26. If I had it, I would say The Wizard of Oz.

I have always loved the music from that movie A LOT. It is not even my style of music, normally, but I cannot get it out of my head sometimes and it cheers me up a little when I get a Wizard of Oz earworm thing going on.

[Misabel]

27. Four.

"The Virgin Suicides" (Heart, Todd Rundgren, 10cc, The Hollies, Air,...)
"Little Miss Sunshine" (I fell in love with Devotchka 'cause of this album.)
"About A Boy" (Badly Drawn Boy. That is all.)
"Pieces Of April" (Stephin Merrit, of The Magnetic Fields, put this together.)

[rucky]

28. Spawn

Moby and the Butthole Surfers do a song together.

31. I'm torn between "Point of No Return," (awsome Nine Simone) "Peter's Friends," and "The Village."

I'm also a big fan of the soundtrack to the goofy film, "Orgasmo." Shut up.

[Mad_Dem_X]

33. Either "Grease" or "Chicago"

[sohndrsmith]

34. I have 3 1. Harold and Maude 2. The Lion King 3. Hard Day's Night n/t

[Danger Mouse]

35. Silent Hill 2 - heh. Not a movie, a game. Incredible ambient music, though, fits the game perfectly.

but I think Silent Hill 2 is easily the most emotionally moving game ever made.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

36. Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

The incomparable Ryuichi Sakamoto (who starred in the movie, which also featured David Bowie in a star turn) and the sublime David Sylvian singing "{My Love Wears) Forbidden Colours."

[nytemare]

37. For Soundtrack "City of Angels", score "Amelie", "Blade Runner"

"Star Wars", "Edward Scissorhands" and "Thin Red Line".

[redqueen]

41. Blade Runner is one of my favorites too...

thank goodness Vangelis finally saw fit to release the damn thing. The eejit.

[nytemare]

47. I love his music to "Cosmos", as well.

I have a thing for atmospheric music. Even in classical music, I prefer Debussy over many.

[redqueen]

48. I used to like it a lot more than I do now.

The atmospheric / soundscape thing I mean. Not Vangelis in general or the Cosmos stuff.

I even like his stuff with Jon Anderson.

[Epiales]

38. Koyaanisqatsi

I love me some Philip Glass.

[camera obscura]

43. Same, I love that & The Hours

[Lucian]

42. Queen of the Damned

[6000eliot]

44. Times Square

Runner up: That Summer!

[redqueen]

45. Hah no way...

I thought I was one of a few hundred people to see that movie. It has Patti Smith's "Pissing in a River" on it, doesn't it?

<3 that song. :)

[6000eliot]

49. Indeed it did.

Not available on CD, though!

[Kool Kitty]

46. Loved that, too.

Other faves-"Local Hero", "Days of Heaven", "Chinatown" and "Jurassic Park".

52. Pulp Fiction

[Deja Q]

53. "The Living Daylights" (1987, John Barry) or "Star Trek II" (192, James Horner)

[RandomThoughts]

54. Funny memory you just popped for me.

I recorded the Star Trek II movie on cassette, and back in the days of walkman tape players used to listen to the movie sound track(with dialog also). I liked that movie.

57. Setting aside the ones with popular music

the only two soundtracks I've ever bought were LadyHawke which is Alan Parsons, and Rob Roy. Those have been the only two that have compelled me to buy them.

[Nickster]

58. That would have to be the soundtrack to Swingers.
