Best Movie Soundtrack

Started by office jesus9 pages

Starship Troopers had a good score.
The Rock.
The Day After Tomorrow.
Predator.
Stargate.

I think the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever is the most successful movie soundtrack of all time. I don't know for sure, but I'm thinking it is.

😕

All of Wes Anderson's movies have great soundtracks: Rushmore finishes on 'Ohh La La' by The Faces; The Royal Tenenbaums features The Clash, Ramones, The Velvet Underground AND Bob Dylan; while The Life Aquatic manages to mix Bowie covers sang in Portuguese and 'Search And Destroy' by The Stooges. That's class.

Tarantino also mixes a nice line in soundtracks, as do the Coen brothers. Oh, and special mention should go to Ghost Dog: Way Of The Samurai - the whole soundtrack is put together by RZA. It's dope, yo, ese, homie, bro, etc.

The Walker and Grosse Pointe Blank soundtracks are really good.

I've always been a fan of disney soundtracks.

My all time favorite is High School Musical. I really think its the awesomest soundtrack ever. It's all i listen to now.
My second fav CD from Disney is Hercules.
I do have other soundtracks but they are not very "adultish". IM 14 and Im stuck in the 5-10's

Some others I'll mention:

Requiem for a Dream (already mentioned it earlier in the thread, but might as well say it again, great music).

Oldboy

Cannibal Holocaust (say what you want about the movie, the music is amazing).

A Very Long Engagement.

Brokeback Mountain

The Shining

Platoon/Elephant Man (Both share the same main song, and said song is incredibly effective in both films)

Shawshank Redemption.

Crash (Great ambient music, really fits the atmosphere).

Sin City

Sweet Hereafter

All Tarantino films.

Palindromes

American Beauty

Amelie

Collateral

Forrest Gump

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Again, great ambient music, fits beautifully with the film)

Paths of Glory (More or less for the song the woman sings at the end, it's quite legendary).

South Park: Bigger Longer Uncut

Team America

Braveheart.

The Good The Bad And The Ugly is classic.
Ry Cooder's Soundtrack for Paris,Texas I like.
Phillip Glass' compisition for Koyaanisqatsi
and
Thomas Newman's score for Fried Green Tomatoes
I also like his score for The Shawshank Redemption which was mentioned in the previous post. In fact, Backfire made quite a few good picks.

Natural Born Killers
Ghost Dog
Garden State
Casino

A recent addition to my list of favorite movie scores: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

Great soundtrack.

Resident Evil OST:
Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache

or

Freddy VS Jason OST:
Ill Nino - How Can I Live?

I don't know about you guys, but as a whole, I definitely prefer original scores to soundtracks; and good call Jaden, I love Sunshine's score.

Requiem for a Dream
A Clockwork Orange
The Lion King
Forrest Gump
American Beauty
Little Miss Sunshine

These obviously aren't the best, but they are my favorites so far:

Kill Bill v1 & 2
Jawbreaker
Pulp Fiction

Yep, I prefer listening to music scores.

Also, that Mean Streets one is fab.
