Your favourite movie soundtracks

What are your favourite movie soundtracks? Now you dont have to have liked the movie, just the soundtrack to it.

A few of my favs are, Gladiator (it has to be really), Last Samurai, Da Vinci code and LOTR.

The Illusionist. Philip Glass's soundtrack blew me away the first time I saw the movie. And the second. And the third. (and etc.)

My all-time favorite is Les Miserables.

300, Gladiator, and Braveheart are good.

I also like the soundtracks from Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek (II and IV specifically)

kborsden · Mar 23, 2007

Has to be 'Lost Boys'.

tourdeforce · Mar 23, 2007

SUPERFLY by Curtis Mayfield is one of the greates soundtracks ever created.

triceretops · Mar 23, 2007

Blade Runner has a cultish atmosphere and tone to it.

Conan the Barbarian

The Road Warrior

The Long Kiss Goodbye

Tri

Don't worry, Jersey Chick...I'm about to be an even bigger dork.

Footloose.

It's also the last soundtrack I've ever bought from a movie...

tourdeforce · Mar 23, 2007

The main theme for Godard's CONTEMPT by Geoge Delerue is a gorgeous piece of music.

Until the End of the World
'Round Midnight
Bagdad Cafe
Blues Brothers
The Cool World (Frederick Wiseman film, soundtrack by Dizzy Gillespie)

I have that one - on vinyl!!! I think the last sountrack I bought was from Rocky IV (the one where he fights the Russian guy) - also an LP. :e2thud:

I'd have to add Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables as two of my favorites, but these are the original Broadway casts - not film versions. Do those count?

ChaosTitan · Mar 24, 2007

Gettysburg, Moulin Rouge (both editions), Gladiator, LOTR, Band of Brothers, Armageddon (score and compilation), Baz Lurhman's Romeo and Juliet: Volume 2, Newsies, Shrek, Last of the Mohicans, LA Confidential (score), City of Angels, The Green Mile, North & South, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The Man in the Iron Mask, Labyrinth....

I should stop now.

Chumplet · Mar 24, 2007

LOTR, Bladerunner, Forrest Gump, The Princess Bride, Shrek, Waking Ned Devine, Local Hero. That's just a few. I love sound tracks.

Vangelis put out a great CD called Vangelis Themes. It includes tracks from Bladerunner, The Bounty and Chariots of Fire, among others.

Melanie Nilles · Mar 24, 2007

Star Wars (all the movies), LOTR, original Pirates of the Caribbean (some of the catchiest music themes I've ever heard)

Oooh, I forgot Last of the Mohicans, that has a brilliant soundtrack. The last scene with them running through the forest and up the mountain was very well done.

triceretops · Mar 24, 2007

The original King Kong was a very spooky, moody piece. I can hear it in my head now.

Jaws had that flavor, too.

Oh, Close Encounters--like that one. I'll add ET.

Of course anything John Williams or Danny Elfman does just about covers it, wouldn't you think. Edward Scissor(sp?) Hands

tri

TheGaffer · Mar 24, 2007

The GOod, the Bad, and the Ugly

and for ones containing mostly songs, The Crow.

Evaine · Mar 25, 2007

Alnost anything by Alexander Korngold - he did several Errol Flynn movies, including The Sea Hawk, Captain Blood and, of course, Robin Hood, which may still have the most complex trumpet solo in film.

MattW · Mar 25, 2007
