Favorite Movie Soundtrack?

What's your favorite movie soundtrack?
Some of mine would include Purple Rain, the Wall, City of Angels, Yellow Submarine, and that sing-along car drive favorite, Song of Music.

I love talking sound tracks. These are a few of my favourite ones in no particular order.

* The Fellowship Of The Ring - Howard Shore's music was superb

* Walk On The Moon - Today, Who Knows Where The Time Goes, Crystal Blue Persuasion - all great songs plus more

* Twin Peaks - lots of instrumental and some great jazz sounding tracks

* The Dish - An Aussie made movie starring Sam Neill - The Real Thing and Wings Of An Eagle

* Now & Then - never saw the movie & bought the CD for one song only - Sugar Sugar by The Archies, and there`s Knock Three Times and Daydream Believer

There are probably more that I haven't thought of, so I'll spare you.

Now to replace my babble-stopper

Skipping musicals because I love too many of them...

Rushmore - probably my all time favorite

Others, in no particular order:

The Royal Tennenbaums - What's his name has a helluvan ear
Pulp Fiction
Dazed and Confused
Forest Gump
Trainspotting
Requiem for a Dream
Schindler's List
Shrek

I know I'm missing some gems, but oh well...

My fav is the soundtrack 2 the great western the Hi-Lo Country (Harrelson, Cudrup, Eliot, Arquette, Cruz, filmed in NM btw!!!) by Carter Burwell--it's all the same song but done in a number of intramental variations--I am in love with that tune! Titanic aside

, I love James Horner's soundtracks such as Legends of the Fall and Braveheart!

HOOT MON! Hi-Infidelity is very cool (in fact alot of soundtracks 2 Cusack movies have great tunes) and yes Infelice A Walk on the Moon!

* Ah Danlo, your quality shines through.

Just remembered another one:

* Muriel's Wedding - Any soundtrack that features ABBA songs is worth my time and money

I agree with you on Purple Rain.

Man that movie is good! The last scene may be one of the greatest 5 minutes of film ever put on celluloid and the music in the background...gets me fired up just thinking about it!

As far as collections of songs thrown together for a moive, The Big Chill is pretty awesome.

The Commitments actually re-records the old songs, and does a great job of it.

The original music for Braveheart is very stirring for me. Especially in the beginning, when they're still kids at the funeral, and she hands him the flower (thistle?).

And I can't imagine Darth Vader coming onscreen without that tune that always accompanies him.

John Williams has done some memorable leitmotifs. The shark in Jaws, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker.

I enjoyed the soundtrack to Natural Born Killers. Some excellent NiN and Cohen in there.

If you liked the 80s, then Grosse Pointe Blank has a great soundtrack. The Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels soundtrack is fantastic too.

See, Cusack movies! Just like I was telling u! Serendipity has alot of good songs well, some Beatles I think....

Ladyhawke, Legend (Jerry Goldsmith score, not Tangerine Dream), Watership Down (both the theatrical score and the rejected Mike Batt score: available on CD only), Anne of Green Gables, and The Last Unicorn (America and Jimmy Webb).

Bannor, I love Art Garfunkel's "Bright Eyes" from the Watership Down soundtrack.

Post by **Bannor** » Wed May 14, 2003 12:53 am

As do I, Infelice. The better of the two soundtracks is the one by Mike Batt (who wrote Bright Eyes, but the rest of his soundtrack was rejected for some reason). Garfunkle sings a song on that CD as well. The whole CD is just full of gorgeous music.
