Im looking for suggestions of good film soundtracks, so I ask to you: which are your favorites and why? I loved the requiem for a dream and donnie darko soundtracks, so those would be my suggestions if you havent already checked them out.

I liked the soundtrack to " Liquid Sky " , it really complimented the off beat mood of the movie . The soundtrack to " Dawn Of The Dead " by Italian group The Goblins was inventive .

I'm a big fan of the 'Lord of the Rings' soundtrack, and everything done by Danny Elfman.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Somewhere In Time

The Way We Were

The Rose

Easy Rider

Meet Joe Black

Dr. Zchivago

Empire Records
The Matrix
Queen of the Damned (Though the movie sucked)

Drive Away off the Lemony Snickett soundtrack is good. Actually, if you're into instrumentals, the whole soundtrack is good. I'll reiterate that Empire Records and The Matirx were both awesome soundtracks.

Run Lola Run was a good too, if you like European Techno.

The Lion King

The Moulin Rouge 2.

One of the interesting things about movie sound tracks is the things composers could get away with: Bernard Hermann could write what would be regarded as avant-garde in a concert hall, but because it was a sound-track no-one bothered to make a fuss.

Fight Club
* Finding the bomb

K-pax (I liked the movie)

Amelie

Garden State

24 hour party people

Definitely K-Pax.... however the Soundtrack to Solaris (Soderberg's release with Clooney) was intensely awesome... it accented the movie in everyway possible and i even heard one of the tracks used in a War of The Worlds trailer.

Definitely Solaris, hands down.

Late
T

Ocean's 11

forest gump had a good sound track, though not very original.

I've got that, it's a really great combination of old school bands. Go The Mommas And The Papas!

I enjoyed listenign to the I Heart Huckabees soundtrack. Great movie.

The Royal Tennenbaums

personal fav:.... Forest gump/braveheart/gladiator/city of angles/saving Priv Ryan

Pulp Fiction.

Soundtrack to "Rushmore"

Soundtrack to "Rushmore"
is that the movie or the band?
:confused:

Pink Floyd - The Wall
The Blues Brothers
Nightmare Before Christmas
Little Shop of Horrors
The Color Purple
Cowboy BeBop

Well, Pink Floyd - more and Obscured by clouds are swell.

Also, Joby Talbots pieces in the hitchikers guide to the galaxy have balls.

Didn't Mike Patton make some soundtrack work?
Can't remember.
If you do, elaborate.

Kansas City

"Blade Runner" by Vangelis. It think it was Oscar-quality, but one section wasn't original. Also, Vangelis had just gotten an Oscar for "Chariots of Fire".

Dead Man, with soundtrack by Neil Young.

Dependes on what you're after, of course, but for a quality score-style OST try 'Meet Joe Black'.
Chick flick with a beautiful soundtrack.

Stigmata
Kill Bill

The soundtrack to Reservoir Dogs is definitely one of my favorites... just my 2 cents :rolleyes:

Stigmata
Kill Bill

Donnie Darko
Dazed and Confused

The sountrack to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Halloween. Awesomery in its very creepiest form.

O Brother where art thou has excellent bluegrass (not country) music.

Thomas Crown Affair (the newer one, i havent seen the old one)

Queen of the Damned does have a great soundtrack. Probably because so many bands worked together. Soundtrack makes up for the movie. which is sad.. when will they ever get an anne rice movie right? -sighs-
Little Nicky has a good soundtrack too, although some of the best songs in the movie arn't on the soundtrack.
and this probably isnt what your looking for and im not sure if you can buy it.. but i LOVE the music in Oceans11/12..

zatoichi
last of the mohicans (cheesy but good)

Whats cheesy about the soundtrack from The Last of the Mohicans? :)

Dune
Zulu Dawn
Starship Troopers
The Last of the Mohicans
Hunt for the red October (a fabulous opening track! :) )
James Bond-The Living Daylights

Whats cheesy about the soundtrack from Last of the Mohicans? :)



maybe cheesy isnt the right word.kinda obviously epic,makes me weep though.

Music from the motion picture soundtrack Until the End of the World. It is amazing.

pretty much anything danny elfman did. That guy is a genius

The score to the Lord of the Rings films, hands down. Howard Shore did a hell of a job, the music was just superb and epic.

Requiem For A Dream ( darren Aranofsky ) takes the cake. I think it may be one solid piece but I never did the research. Its the best soundstrack without songs that people recognize and it definitely makes the movie one of the top ten ever.

Trainspotting is good for older drug pop.
