Favourite Movie Soundtracks?

What are yours?

here are a few of mine..
Labyrinth
Dirty Dancing
Grease
Romy and Michele's High School Reunion
The Beach
Save The Last Dance
Gone In 60 Seconds
Queen Of The Damned
Forrest Gump
Cruel Intentions

Garden State is easily my fave all-time, and more recently the Juno OST.

Bridget Jones Diary!

A Knight's Tale, High Fidelity, Sweeney Todd.... I can't think right now =P

Little Shop of Horrors, Nightmare Before Christmas, Ravenous

'Garden State' soundtrack was so much better than the film itself :)

also loved the 'Layer Cake' and 'Office Space' soundtracks.

Dedication's trailer's track is awesome.

Reservoir Dogs

Full marks to chibiyusa for saying the Juno soundtrack. Feels a bit strange having a Moldy Peaches revival 8 years on from first hearing them, but I'm not complaining. Nothing wrong with a bit of anti-folk music :)

Also quite keen on the Trainspotting soundtrack, although that's as much because it features quite a few of my favourite artists on it as anything else. Could have been improved by putting Choose Life on there instead of the extra release they did though - not much worthy of listening time on Trainspotting 2.

Well, back in the days when I was on the grunge bandwagon, "Singles" probably ranked rather high. Some of those tracks still hold merit today.

The electronic music fan in me liked the soundtrack to the George Clooney version of "Solaris", as well as "Legend". Though "Legend" was mostly for Tangerine Dream employing Jon Anderson and Bryan Ferry for vocalists on two songs.

Sweeney Todd. Awesome soundtrack. Current play count on my iTunes: 176 and counting. (for all 20 tracks)

I've listened to the soundtrack to "Desperado" more than I've listeened to all other soundtracks combined, and more than most non-soundtrack albums. Why? Two words: "Los" and "Lobos," which can be loosely translated from the Spanish as "the freaking musical geniuses making up the best band in America over the last 25 years."

The soundtracks to Robert Rodriguez's other films are also listenable, although he started doing most of the composition himself during and after "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" and, while he's an okay composer, he's not Los Lobos.

Most of the soundtracks produced by Ry Cooder are also excellent, especially "Paris, Texas" and "The Long Riders."
Other good 'uns included John Lurie's "Mystery Train" soundtrack, and the soundtracks for "Until the End of the World", "The Future is Unwritten", "Babel" and, of course, "The Harder They Come." And let's not forget the eternally memorable soundtrack from "Willy Wonka."

Score "Somewhere in Time"

Soundtracks: About a Boy, Flashdance (yah, I'm old) and the smarmiest, most foot-tappingly irresistible soundtrack of all time....Footloose (Footloose, everybody cut Footloose)

Once More With Feeling (BTVS)
Grease & Grease 2
Blues Brothers 2000
Footloose
Top Gun

All dancing movies.
Such as Step Up 1&2, How She Move

5. Streets Of Fire - A guilty pleasure for me, I must admit.

4. Juno - Yeah, I really do like this soundtrack. So, y'know.....
shut up.

3. The Graduate - I've only had one time in my life where an older lady tried to seduce me ( unsuccesfully, I might add). Unfortunately, it was late one night offa North Ave., near downtown Chicago. And I think that she expected either money or drugs in exchange.
At least, I think it was a she. The darkness of the night combined with "her" facial hair really prevented me from making a fair assesment.

2. Saturday Night Fever - You can tell by the way that I use my walk that I'm a woman's man.
No, seriously..... you can.

1. Purple Rain - Y'know, I've been to alot hotels in my time, & I have yet to walk into a lobby that has a girl masturbating with a magazine. Or with my luck, maybe I have, but didn't get there until after security threw her out.

Step Up 1&2, Spiderman 1&2, A walk to remember...they all have great OSTs

My favourite has to be 'Lost in Translation'.
All of the songs on there compliment the film perfectly and sound just as good when standing alone. In any mood I can listen to this film and just feel quite complete.

Other top soundtracks are
Amelie
Braveheart
Romeo and Juliet

I love the songs that feature in the 'Moulin Rouge'. The arrangement of them was just genius, but most of the other tracks there are hideous!

I give full backing to
'Life Aquatic' and 'Garden State'

On my computer I have tonnes and tonnes of movie soundtracks. A few of my favourites:

Die Hard (Michael Kamen)
The Bourne Ultimatum (John Powell)
Casino Royale (David Arnold)
Live Free or Die Hard (Marco Beltrami)
Rambo (Brian Tyler)
28 Days Later (John Murphy)
28 Weeks Later (John Murphy)

Stand By Me.
Empire Records.
Almost Famous.
Meet The Deedles (Yep, I'm a nerd).
Elizabethtown was a good one, too.

Requiem for a Dream, 28 Days Later, Soderbergh's Solaris

Trainspotting Cinema.Paradiso 1492 _ conquest of paradise

Purple Rain
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Across the Universe
Sweeney Todd
The Mayor of the Sunset Strip

speaking solely about movie soundtracks:
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Bulworth
Friday
Cowboy Bebop the Movie
End of Evangelion
Queen of the Damned

I have others but they're not from movies so bleh.

Into the Wild.

Contemplating this thread I decided to make a list of which movies I think have awesome soundtracks. This one will be added to over time. ;) Thanks for the ideas people!

One of my all time favourites has to be Air's work on The Virgin Suicides soundtrack. Lovely.

The Fountain

Gladiator

sweeney todd

kill bill

saw

"Garden State" ranks up there with being super cool and chill. "Rushmore" is solid as well.

My list of 10:
1. Kill Bill Vol 1 was pretty awesome, Vol 2 was pretty good as well.
2. Princess Mononoke had an awesome score.
3. The Sound of Music, an all time favourite.
4. High Fidelity, rocking soundtrack there too.
5. Forrest Gump was filled with great classic rock and pop.
6. The Moulin Rouge soundtrack was perfect for the movie.
7. School of Rock!! The title track is worth the price.
8. Superbad from last year had an awesome 70s inspired score and musical selections.
9. Recently, the Once soundtrack has really made an impression.
10. The Matrix soundtrack was pretty awesome, used well in the movie too.

The Royal Tenenbaums and Psycho

the cannibal holocaust soundtrack by riz ortolani, and all scores done by ennio morricone

Almost famous soundtrack kicks ass :)

I'd go for Desperado, it's perfect from start to finish.

A Walk to Remember
Pride and Prejudice

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Holiday
Titanic

My favorite soundtrack of all time is the Phantom of the Opera (2004) 2-disc edition soundtrack. Following that (in no particular order) are:

Lord of the Rings series
Harry Potter series
Peter Pan (2003)
Chronicles of Narnia duo
Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy

These are just the ones that come to mind, but I tend to love soundtracks in general, especially the instrumental ones.

Titanic
Forrest Gump
The Ghost And Mrs. Muir

For those interested, I've done a number of soundtrack lists. Elvis Presley Soundtracks is pretty much complete, though Alternative Rock Soundtracks is the biggest of the five (as that's the style of music I'm most interested in). Any suggestions for additional items (make sure they're soundtracks, not scores as Deleted classifies them), or maybe a new list of soundtracks in a certain genre, are welcome!

Seriously. Classic Rock Soundtracks only has one item. I could use some help. :(

Classic Rock Soundtracks
Elvis Presley Soundtracks
Pop Soundtracks
Alternative Rock Soundtracks
Rap Soundtracks

hmm, let's see..

Savage Streets
Sleepaway Camp (my firend's got every one all together on 1 CD)
The Exorcist
Opera
Demons
Mortal Kombat
House of 1,000 Corpses
The Devil's Rejects
All of the Friday The 13th's

THE BOAT THAT ROCKED
...
Into the Wild
The Graduate
...

Juno
Hairspray
Slumdog Millionaire (Jai Ho!)
and...um, Sweeney Todd

Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, Grease, Freddy vs. Jason, Kill Bill vol.1, 8 Mile, The Crow, Friday, Queen of the Dammed and (of course) Sweeney Todd.

"Naked Lunch" by Howard Shore & Ornette Coleman is brilliant and fits the tone of the film perfectly (also works quite nicely as background music while reading Burroughs)

"A Clockwork Orange" by Wendy Carlos (Droogs, moogs, & Ludwig Van - what a winning combination) Some may claim that moogs and other analog synths sound dated now, but in the capable hands of Wendy Carlos these tracks still have a strange and otherworldly quality, which certainly adds to the ambience of the film.

"Suspiria" by Goblin (possibly my favorite score by them, but "Dawn of the Dead" is way up there too)

An American Werewolf in Paris
Queen of The Damned

Scarface
Watchmen
Wild at Heart
Il bueno, il brutto, il cattivo
Reservoir Dogs
Forrest Gump

Those are some of my favorites.

Can't really think much right now, but one of my favorites is The Departed.

Cruel Intentions
Vanilla Sky
Rocky Horror Picture Show

The Matrix
Cool World
Star Wars
Daredevil
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Purple Rain
Romy and Michele's High School Reunion
Saturday Night Fever
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Grease
Pretty in Pink

EDIT: Whoops, I forgot the XXX and Resident Evil soundtracks!

Last of the Dogmen
Harts War
Greatest Game Ever Played

Just a few of my top ten, but there are so many more outstanding ones. Try to give a listen to the above 3, if you aren't familiar with them. You will be suprised

Pretty much all the Star Wars soundtracks are great
Gladiator
Wall-E
Aladdin
All of the Lord of the Rings
Schindler's List (my favorite)
Casino Royale
Memoirs of a Geisha
Back to the Future
...man I don't think I can possibly list all the soundtracks that I love and listen too...
