Best Soundtrack Album

[Merrick]

I could name a bunch, but in the interest of not hogging them all, I'll just start with the Trainspotting soundtrack. Great album.


Dude, I can relate...

1. Saturday Night Fever

Great period piece.

[AtomicKitten]

9. I think this stands as the ultimate.

[hyphenate]

2. Well, I'm not likely to find too many to agree with

my choice, but mine is "Paint Your Wagon."

My second favorite is "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."

And yes--I'm weird.

[WindRavenX]

3. Garden State

NT

[RevolutionaryActs]

8. That's what I said too!

:D

[asthmaticeog]

4. Ennio Morricone, "Once Upon a Time in the West."

Unreal, how good this record is.

[RevolutionaryActs]

5. Garden State, and I Am Sam are two great ones, I think

:)

6. Magnolias

hands down

[enigmatic]

12. yep

First one off the top of my head, too.

[Merrick]

15. Yup, that's one I was going to say

Aimee Mann is playing the House of Blues in my neck of the woods in a couple of weeks. I'm seriously considering going. Cheers.

17. Do go see her. She is great in a small venue

really engages the crowd

[NMMNG]

7. Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me

Excellent compositions by Angelo Badalamenti

[tuvor]

11. The ST for the series was really good, too.

What an amazing project the whole Twin Peaks franchise was.

[NMMNG]

14. Oh yes, I have that too

It has several excellent Julee Cruise songs on it, along with numerous beautiful instrumentals. (I have one of her CDs as well).

[tuvor]

10. Peter Gabriel's Last Temptation of Christ.

It's all great, and It Is Finished sends chills up and down the spine.

[alarcojon]

13. Another oldie but goodie:

Music by Bill Conti:

[SlavesandBulldozers]

16. Great Expectations had a good one.

so did Conan the Barbarian (composed by Basil Poledouris).

[merh]

18. Tommy and Jesus Christ Superstar

I love those sound tracks. I have to replace them one day. :freak:

[ghostsofgiants]

19. Garden State, Lost Highway and Fight Club

[Merrick]

20. Requiem For A Dream

Clint Mansell with the Kronos String Quartet. Brilliant. Doubled the emotional impact of a spectacular film. Love the cello dirges.

21. Titanic

When teenage girls stay through the credits so they can sing along with "My Heart Will Go On," it must be good.
