Me, well, I like Fargo, creepy music.

[JanMichael]

1. "My Best Friend's Wedding"

Burt Bachrach (sp) all the way!

[jonnyblitz]

7. LMFAO....cheesy.

:hi:

[JanMichael]

29. It's what I do.

"Cheesy" that is.

[eileen_d]

2. Royal Tennenbaums

It is genius.

[Gore1FL]

3. Gettysburg

especially the Little Round Top music.

[BrotherBuzz]

4. Rockers

Bunny Wailer's title track "rockers"
Inner Circle "We a Rockers"
Jacob Miller's "Tenement Yard" (my all time favorite)
Peter Tosh's "Stepping Razor"
Junior Byles' "Fade Away" -- classic
Maytones "Money Worries"
The Heptones "Book Of Rules"
Justin Hines & The Dominoe "Natty Take Over"
Junior Murvin "Police & Thieves"

5. Big Chill

Just because I just watched it.

[FireHeart]

6. John Carpenter's "Vampires"

Terrible movie. Great soundtrack.

[CanuckAmok]

50. Yeah, and his version of "The Thing"...

scored by Morricone.

[bbernardini]

8. Eddie & The Cruisers, Spinal Tap, Hedwig/Angry Inch, anything by Elfman

Danny, not Jenna. :)

[NashVegas]

9. Moulin Rouge

I would love to have the original, not dressed-up for commercial consumption, version of that. Lurhman and company made one amazing collage.

For more traditional scores, of recent flicks, Bryan Taylor's soundtrack on Children of Dune rocks the house.

[Cosmic_Latte]

57. I love the Moulin Rouge soundtrack!

It's a really nifty compilation set. :-)

[Spider Jerusalem]

40. That's one of my favourites, too...

but I can't decide between that, the soundtrack to "Lost Highway", the one for the 1st Crow movie, Hackers, and Trainspotting. Lots of good soundtracks out there...(and I just noticed that THREE on my list were produced by Trent Reznor...hmmm.)

[gate of the sun]

41. one of my favorites as well

!!!!!!!!!

[Gato Moteado]

12. pulp fiction

nt

[JohnKleeb]

13. Ok

As for as composed music goes its Saving Private Ryan for mixes I really liked Goodfellas' even though a lot of that isnt music I like it just is a good sound track that or Forrest Gump.

[kodi]

14. i cant imagine a finer film score than h. shore's "fellowship of the ring"

the meshing of sight and sound has never been done better. the music was such an integral part of the impact the visuals of the film makes that it is impossible to extract one from the other without losing much from each.

nonetheless, that film score itself is magnificent music, and i consider it the best film score ever writen.

[sugarcookie]

55. That and TTT

I especially love The King of the Golden Hall.

[arwalden]

15. Rocky Horror... and Prince Of Tides

Strange combination, huh?

[jenm]

17. I forgot Rocky Horror

Yay wet seat.

[izzie]

16. Third man stays in my mind and has for years.

n/t

[BigMcLargehuge]

18. Godzilla King of the Monsters Akira Ifukube

the best of Ifukube's music (and the few other composers who worked for Toho in the Kaiju sountrack area) are collected on The Best of Godzilla 1954-1975. I love it. Some of the best rousing music ever. My favorite track is the march from Destroy All Monsters.

Second runner up -

Ghost in the Shell, Kenji Kawaii. Haunting and moody with more than a little Japanese folk music thrown into the mix. Great stuff all the way around.

A Clockwork Orange: Beethoven, and I want to marry a lighthouse keeper...

The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Ennico Morricone, arguably the best gunfighter movie music ever.

[Padraig18]

19. It's an OLD movie, but...

... The theme from "Exodus". :)

[arwalden]

20. Also... Sound Of Music, South Pacific, Oklahoma, Carousel, Seven Brides...

... For Seven Brothers.

OH! Too too too many to mention here.

[supernova]

21. Once Upon a Time in Mexico

of the recent crop. Excellent music to accompany the action on the screne. Plus holds up well as a CD in it's own right. Salma Hayack singing Siente Mi Amor is worth the price alone. I hope she sings more; she has a lovely voice. Also Brian Setzer does a ripping version of Malagueña.

For sheer Musical score, it's gotta be Pirates of the Caribbean. Excellent!

[LTR]

28. Is it as good as the "Desperado" soundtrack?

Now THAT was a great soundtrack!

[supernova]

31. OUATIM is better

than Desperado, for all the reasons I named. Plus Johnny Depp ( :loveya: :loveya: ) and Antonio Banderas wrote their own theme music. How cool is that?

[doubleplusgood]

22. Alexander Nevsky

...by Prokofiev, but also Fahrenheit 451 (or just about anything else by Bernard Herrmann)

[minkyboodle]

48. Agreed

When are the going to issue a DVD with that great Saint Petersburg Soundtrack that the Philips Laserdisc has!!!!! I had a chance to see Nevsky performed by the National Symphony syncronized to the film at Wolf Trap some years ago. Hopefully something that will be repeated in the future. Until then the CD to Video manual sync goes on :)
Scott

[arwalden]

23. Any DANNY ELFMAN Soundtrack Is Great. Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice...

... PEE WEE's Big Adventure.

[ronzo]

37. That's what I'm sayin'... ELFMAN

of course that's soundtrack in strictest sense.

but...
boingo.


edit: just clarifyin'

[Deja Q]

25. Right now, "For Your Eyes Only"

Other perennial favorites include "The Living Daylights", "Star Trek II", "Star Trek Insurrection", "Superman II", and "Tomorrow Never Dies" (the electronic tracks are much more origial and better than the classical ones, which merely rip off John Barry)

[DemoTex]

26. Good Morning, Vietnam.

AFVN, from the Delta to the DMZ.

[mitchum]

27. Popol Vuh's scores for Herzog's "Nosferatu" and...

Time and time again. She's an amazing songwriter.

[cosmicdot]

35. A Room with a View; RockyHPS; High Society

[Swede]

36. Mothman Prophecies was creepy

Once Upon a time in America has such sadness
Dazed and Confused reminded me of my wasted youth
2001 nuff said
Last of the Mohicans loved that Celtic music

[carpetbagger]

38. Star Wars IV-VI, then Glory, Independence Day,Gettysburg.

Gotta put a plug in for Repo Man, although it's not a "soundtrack" soundtrack.

[curse10]

39. High Fidelity

Great shit.

[rppper]

42. "heavy metal"...hands down...

45. O Brother Where Art Thou

[PittPoliSci]

51. my dad would agree with you there n/t

[ironflange]

46. Taxi Driver

Snarly jazz perfectly complementing the heart-warming story playing out in front of you.

Oh, let's not forget Psycho.

[minkyboodle]

47. Second for Nevsky

Alexander Nevsky by Prokofiev and add to that On the Waterfront by Leonard Bernstien. Also most Coen brothers movies compiled by T-Bone Burnett are very well put together. Also Fargo is great as previously mentioned.
Scott

[CanuckAmok]

49. "Wings of Desire"...

Nick Cave, Crime and the City Solution, Minimal Compact... and a brilliant, moody original score.

I also like NBK, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

[PittPoliSci]

LOS STRAIGHTJACKETS!

66. A couple of my faves...

"A Star is Born" - especially the Kris Kristofferson tunes.
"Some Kind of Wonderful - John Hughes flick.

But the best soundtrack of ALL TIME - IMHO -

The Valley Girl Soundtrack - such a wonderful snapshot of the early 80's music/MTV revolution.

but that's just my opinion...


:smoke:

[noonwitch]

67. The Sound of Music

The movie or the music always cheers me up when I'm depressed.

[skypilot]

68. Brian DePalma's "Carrie"

Music by Pino Donaggio. Most beautiful music I've ever heard in a horror flick.
