Whats your favourite movie soundtrack and why?

[anim8or]

because I love electronic music...

Yes!

100% Agree, love this soundtrack, and the The Prodigy voodoo people makes me wanna yell Hack the Planet whenever i hear it!!! LOL

And Jackie Brown OST is amazing too.....

 

[QuarterSwede]

Without taking John Williams into account, mine is probably Gladiator. I would start my study sessions in uni by listening to it and it always got me in the right frame of mind to learn. Great soundtrack.

 

[iJohnHenry]

For my grown up, "I like oldies" side

<heavy sigh> Pam Grier. (Robert Forster wasn't too bad in that either.)

one that has not been mentioned yet

Bless you. An excellent score.

For me, I go back a little further.

Goldfinger and Kaleidoscope. (Stanley Myers)

 

[Tilpots]

Some great ones mentioned already!

Because it's the season, I gotta add A Charlie Brown Christmas' soundtrack by the Vince Guaraldi Trio. Amazing. Warms my heart and puts a smile on my face every single time I hear it.

It's definitely good but vastly overplayed. I'm already sick of hearing it.

 

[Thomas Veil]

These are simply highly "listenable" soundtracks. They're good, and they don't grow old. Depending upon the genre, they either rock or scare me. And they're largely genuine scores, not just existing pop music collected into a soundtrack.

If we were talkin' TV albums I could give you a bunch more.

 

[Love]

Definitely Up In The Air.

I hear ya, but there's a reason it's "overplayed."


Another to note:

Into the Wild- Eddie Vedders take on the music for this story really nailed the sound I felt years ago when I first read the book.

+1. Great soundtrack!

The Boat that Rocked and 24 Hour Party People fo sho!

Enemy of the State's OST is brilliant too. I absolutely love the melody and the Coal Yard part 2 themes. Very powerful/inspirational stuff.

The Truman Show is also good. But one track, Dreaming of Fiji, when that song played in the film I was just blown away. It fits so well with that scene, everything combined for that one scene.

Lord of the Rings. Love it.

Now games... that's a bigger bucket of fish. But anything by Huelsbeck, Michiru Yamane, Allister Brimble, Masato Nakamura, Kondo, Nobuo Uematsu will probably be 5 stars in my iTunes library.

 

[roadbloc]

The Titanic soundtrack is simply beautiful.

I loved that score but I just wish the tracks were longer than 2 minutes

 

[Plutonius]

I loved that score but I just wish the tracks were longer than 2 minutes

and I thought you only listened to music by Sergei Sergeyevich PROKOFIEV .

 

[obeygiant]

Memoirs of a Geisha
Braveheart

Karate Kid 2
Dances with Wolves
Clockwork Orange
Tron 1 (wendy carlos)
Anything John Williams especially Superman

 

[Plutonius]

I loved that score but I just wish the tracks were longer than 2 minutes

or do you prefer O Fortuna by Carl Orff ?

 

[RedburnIV]

Big fan of the Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind soundtrack and movie. I think they both just compliment each other so well. That movie would not have been the same without that soundtrack.

 

[yellow]

LOTRs
Last of The Mohicans

And though it's not a "movie"..

Band of Brothers

Love Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, but that's off-topic.
