old school like Angus, some good songs on that one, like greenday and ash and the goops i think.
also:
The Crow
Pulp Fiction
Almost Famous (my friend's choice, i can't remember it)
Magnolia
I can't really think right now.
But this was all before a soundtrack was like TRL part two.
philidelphia has a great soundtrack
A Hard Day's Night
Help!
Lost Highway
Natural Born Killers
The Crow
Heat
Boogie Nights 1 & 2
Magnolia
Trainspotting
Requiem For A Dream
Peter Gabriel - Passion (Last Temptation Of Christ)
American Graffitti
Saturday Night Fever
Jackie Brown
Purple Rain
Big Lebowski
(btw: anyone seen Long Goodbye, The (1974) by Bobby Altman ? - it is said to be an inspiration for this flick)
Trainspotting, Royal Tenenbaums, PDL.
I love the Star Wars scores. Especially Empire and Jedi. The prequels are alright, nothing I really enjoy listening too, though. I like A Clockwork Orange and 2001 soundtracks too.

I believe it was the Raymond Chandler crime style in general who was the inspiration. They just wrote all the caracters to be pretty odd people...
...and the best soundtrack out there can only be Pulp Fiction, I mean normally a score is being composed or/and old or new songs is added to fit with the pictures, in the case of Pulp Fiction it is the other way around.

You reminded me: Pi
and yes, i agree trainspotting was great
and i totally forgot about lost highway, that one is awesome.
Mostly, I didn't mean scores when i brought up soundtrack, in that case though I'll throw out a few more:
Rosemary's baby (very creepy and unmistakable)
The Godfather (of course)
American Beauty
and Punch Drunk Love, I agree with the rest of you.
The Song Remains the Same
The Wall
The Graduate
Tommy
Quadrophenia
...and special mention to the soundtrack to "A Charlie Brown Christmas": Vince Guaraldi is so fucking psychedelic at times.
check it
queen of the damned is pretty good as well
Woodstock
Richie Havens improvisation at the beginning still gives me chills...now that is talent from God.
I think my favorite 'compilation' soundtracks would have to be Heat and Lost Highway...they are both perfect examples of songs that perfectly encapsulate the moviegoing experience. Runner up would be Trainspotting. The Wall doesn't count! Otherwise it would be way up there. 2001 as well...it's really creepy listening to that really late at night.
Wes Anderson's soundtracks would be better if they actually included all the songs from the movies. Although I understand a second version of Royal Tennenbaums was released with a few new tracks added.
Did anyone ever hear Shudder To Think's soundtrack for High Art? That was gorgeous, although I'm generally not a big fan of the rest of their music.
Some of my favorite scores would have to be Empire Strikes Back, Vertigo, Last Of The Mohicans (only the Trevor Rabin parts), Edward Scissorhands, Fargo AND Raising Arizona, Taxi Driver...there are just too many to list. Magnolia, of course.
The Grosse Pointe Blank soundtrack is really great. Especially Mirror in the Bathroom. Makes me want to kick Felix LaPoubelle's ass.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Gladiator
Quote from: XixaxHedwig and the Angry Inch
You're a Hedwig and the Angry Inch whore, xixax. I love it.
Top Gun and Dirty Dancing.
The Natural Born Killers soundtrack is fuckin awesome and the Waynes World 2 also has its moments.
All the Real Girls looks like it will have a good soundtrack with the likes of Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Labradford, and other artists. A post-rock junkies dream 8)

wonder boys (very good)
breaking the waves (life on mars, elton john, suzanne, irrepressible...)
so many others, love paul thomas anderson's and tarantino's, very hip
The first CD I ever bought: "Hook" soundtrack. I still say that it is one of the best scores ever composed for a movie.
As far as soundtracks you can rock out too: Empire Records and High Fidelity are my top two.
The First tape I ever bought with my own money was the "Electric Dreams" Soundtrack.
Quote from: RegularKarateThe First tape I ever bought with my own money was the "Electric Dreams" Soundtrack.
I have the CD...still. Wish MGM would release the DVD.

:lol: Hell yeah. Well, maybe not the whole cast....I do love the two leads: Zooey Deschanel and Paul Schneider to death though...and the guy who made it: David Gordon Green, he's a fucking genius. Most of the other people are new to me.
But yeah, the score excerpts in the trailer are fucking awesome, I hope all of that stuff is on the soundtrack.
pure score:
vertigo
Star Wars Box Set
Jurassic Park
First Night
The Secret of Nimh
Glory
mixture of score and songs:
PDL
rushmore
the royal tenenbaums
the graduate
magnolia (only one track of score i think, but oh well)
*on a sidenote* wasn't there a pure score CD for magnolia?
1. About a Boy
I also like Magnolia, Purple Rain, Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction. Reservoir Dogs, although it only has 5 songs.
There was a complete score CD for Magnolia, and I listen to it far more than the Aimee Mann disc.
Purple Rain is so awesome. I went to a midnight screening of the film last night. It is a gloriously awful movie, but the music is so good. I love it.
I've got Bjork's "Selmasongs" - the soundtrack to "Dancer in the Dark" - in my car right now. Not usually my kind of music, but I'm diggin it.
The soundtrack to Snatch has some good stuff on it.
The actual Blade soundtrack. Not the one sold in stores, but the music that appears in the film. And High Fidelity.
I've been listening to PDL on my laptop religiously....the score is just astounding. I've also been listening alot to the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack, although it isn't my fave....
Anything that comes from PTA or QT is gold.
RAVENOUS has a fucking cool soundtrack
In termsof compilation soundtracks, I'd have to go for Vanilla Sky, definitely. Even though many of the songs are spectacularly different, they somehow just fit together perfectly.
(I'm talking about the European Soundtrack CD. I'm pretty sure the U.S. one is different.)
any Thomas Newman score is teh win in my book.
i also like the scores to The Thin Red Line, Miller's Crossing (basically, all of Carter Burwell's work), and as 'sold out' as you think he might be, i dig James Horner. also like James Newton Howard.
as far as compilations go, i like Swingers, Grosse Point Blank, Stand By Me, Rushmore and the Royal T's.
also check out the sndtrk to The Power of One, if you get the chance.
The Wedding Singer
go mullets
vertigo -- end of story.
........oh and perhaps eyes wide shut, its a very interesting little soundtrack......
I just got All The Real Girls soundtrack. It's a gooder.
But it seems like some of the audio is bad quality. Some of the drum parts sound tinny/clicky. Like when you get a really shitty download on Kazaa...
Did anybody else notice this, or did I get shafted with a bum copy?
THE GRADUATE -- one of the few film that can bring me bitter sweet tears -- i think half of it's power owe's due to the music.

Your right, but have you heard the fucking collectors edition thats fucking sweet. In the end of the cd there is a 20 min. long interwiev where quintin actully are talkin about how he chose music to his films.
So that must be the most fantastic soundtrack in the world : great music + quintin interwiev can it be better !!
Quote from: BethieNo mention of the "Singles" soundtrack. C'mon people.
I hope you do not mean this old american soap also called "Singels" you know the one with Queen Latifah who i think is a really bad actor, mayby as bad an actor as Lisa Kudrow & Renee Zellweger and that's the ones who really takes the big price.

no she is referring to the movie called Singles, directed by Cameron Crowe, and already explained in this thread.

This is a statement
without a doubt, and I know I mentioned it earlier..but even more so now...
PURPLE RAIN
also one of the best albums ever.
I'll also throw in Parade, the soundtrack to Under the Cherry Moon.

"Purple Rain" greatest film soundtrack: Vanity Fair
If you've hummed along, tapped your feet, or even danced in your seat while watching "Purple Rain," "Saturday Night Fever" or "Trainspotting," you're not alone.
The soundtracks from those movies have been named among the 50 greatest by the editors of Vanity Fair magazine. The full list will be revealed next month in a one-time Conde Nast magazine, Movies Rock, for subscribers of its 14 titles.
"Purple Rain" topped the chart even though it was described as "perhaps the best badly acted film ever," editors at Vanity Fair said, while "Trainspotting" came in at No. 7 and "Saturday Night Fever" was eighth.
The Vanity Fair editors said the "Purple Rain" soundtrack was a flawless combination of "funk, R&B, pop, metal, and even psychedelia into a sound that defined the '80s."
"A Hard Day's Night" came in a No. 2, followed by "The Harder They Come," "Pulp Fiction," "The Graduate" and "Superfly." "American Graffiti" and "The Big Chill" rounded out the top 10.
"Saturday Night Fever's" soundtrack is "required listening for anyone looking to heat up the dance floor," the editors said. "The white suit? Not so much."
Movies Rock, which will feature stories and photos of the projects, stars, directors and musicians who created the selected movies, launches ahead of a two-hour CBS broadcast of the same title in December.
