View Full Version : Best Soundtrack . . .
What movie soundtracks do people like?
I reckon there's some pretty good stuff on the Guy Ritchie movies "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch".
Likewise, the soundtrack that came out of the "Singles" movie contained some classic songs.

The soundtrack to "Trainspotting" is one of my favourites. "Lust For Life" by Iggy Pop, "Temptation" by New Order, "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed, "Born Slippy" by Underword...what's there not to like? Oh, hang on...there's that note for note cover of Blondie's "Atomic" by Sleeper....they may as well have used the original version.
There's also the soundtrack to the movie about Factory Records titled "24 Hour Party People" - that's bound to be good.

Would have to say "I am Sam" though if the songs were played by the Beatles then a country mile ahead of anything.

my fav is the pretty in pink soundtrack, as its the only one i have, im not a fan of compilations.
Forrest Gump is a goodie.......also Two hands and 10 things i hate about you.

16 Jun 2002, 22:10
The Blues Brothers are by far the best with Men In Black coming second

Forrest Gump hands down for me.
Also, I know it doesn't technically count as a soundtrack but close enough -> Jeff Wayne's musical version of 'The War Of The Worlds'.
The Blues Brothers
The Commitments
Eddie & The Cruisers
The Big Chill
Shrek
The Lion King

For me:
Josie & the Pussycats
The Usual Suspects
Trainspotting
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV soundtrack
I must say though... soundtracks are getting to the stage where they are just glorified compilations of songs that may have had 5 seconds played on the movie in question. There are some great scored soundtracks out there, but getting fewer..

Some of my favourites there, too. I'll add Trick Or Treat, Dazed And Confused, The Lost Boys, and if anyone's a Neil Diamond fan, The Jazz Singer.
And I agree with Carter's view of War Of The Worlds, damn good album (well, double album) :cool:

Yeah, a great collection of songs, that one!
Although, the second Trainspotting "soundtrack" had a greater sense of money grabbing than anything that went on in the film! :D

Carlton fans after losing a game to a dodgy free kick?
Favorite? Awwwwwww Mannnn too many to choice from:
- Cruel Intentions (Counting Crows, Placebo, Fatboy and the list goes on)
- Romeo & Juliet 1 and 2
- Moulin Rouge (Josh Abrahams did a fantastic job)
- Pulp Fiction
- West Side Story - Leonard Bernstein at his best
Ummmmmmmm what else?????
I agree with most people's thoughts on here.
I love the Dazed and Confused soundtrack and Romeo & Juliet was good (but made great by Radiohead's Talkshow Host ;) ).
I thought Judgment Night was pretty cool, with the rap-metal collaborations.

Quentin - great flicks, great music picks. I doubt seriously if **** Dale intended it, but everytime I hear 'Miserlou' I feel like we should have shotguns for this sh**. :D
Also agree completely with Daicos' choice of 'Forest Gump.' It has so many great singles from great bands, that it should have already been a comp before the movie was even made.
Trainspotting, Goldfinger, Thunderball, Batman (score) by Danny Elfman, Apocalypse Now, Lock Stock, Blues Brothers, Rocky Horror, too many to mention!

The Blues Brothers
The Commitments
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
A Knight's Tale
The Wedding Singer
The Empire Records soundtrack is the most disappointing ever. There are so many good songs in the film but it's filled with cerrrrrap you only hear vaguely in the background, none that they actually sing along with/dance to.

I loved Bugsy Malone!! Dexter Fletcher of Press Gang/Lock Stock fame aged 5 and a very very young Jodie Foster just after Taxi Driver. Great concept.

Nice call on "The Warriors" Sheik. As one of my favorite films of all time, would I be right in guessing that the soundtrack would have that really cool black DJ chick intro'ing each of the tracks on the soundtrack, just like in the film?
As for Midnight Express, you've got me really curious ... I only remember the main theme to that one. I'll chase it up for sure.
Can I finally congratulate you on your choice of photo ... love your work.
