[shane-c]

I've never really heard a movie soundtrack that I thought was absolutely amazing... That said, I have to admit I'm a pretty big fan of any Disney movie or Broadway musical. In a totally hetero way.

[nobody]

Pretty much anything Wes Anderson does, namely The Royal Tennebaums.

Also a second for Reservoir Dogs.
Fight Club.

[sargeonline]

Blues Brothers definitely! Wayne's World soundtrack is rather awesome too.

[leisuresuitlissy]

It's not a movie but the tv show Teachers (UK) has a fantastic soundtrack.

Magnolia's got a pretty good soundtrack, as has Gremlins 2, but I only say that because there's a snippet of a slayer song in there :pleased:

[DanontheMoon]

Requiem for a Dream. Amazing soundtrack.
A Clockwork Orange, The Crow, Dark City, Lost Highway, Star Wars, The Black Hole, The Devil's Rejects, Judgment Night, Natural Born Killers, Run Lola Run, Ralph Bakshi's Wizards, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Wip3out all come to mind too.

I wasn't fond of the movie 'City of Angels', but for some reason I've ended up having an inordinate amount of lovin' while it's playing in the background, so I dig it.

How can a movie called Dazed and Confused not have any Led Zeppelin in it?
Good song list though.

[graylensman]

Oh, I forgot Blade Runner and Stop Making Sense. Silly me.

[DanontheMoon]

Hedwig and the Angry Inch

:lol: That's really a movie?! That title is too much. :guffaw:

[graylensman]

^Absolutely. It's a great movie! It's about a transsexual German rock singer and his/her band, and her relationship with a star she helped create. The music rocks and the story is compelling. You won't be sorry you saw it.

[Phenex]

Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Silent Hill

And yea...

City Of Angels. :)

[TheCanadian]

1. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

That's a good one but I like For A Few Dollars More (http://www.walker47.com/assets/sound/themes/theme%20dollars.wav) better, with the whistling. O Brother Where Art Thou is good and so is Kingdom of Heaven.

[icecastles]

1. She -- Notting Hill
2. Iris -- City of Angels
3. Grow old with you -- Wedding Singer
4. Wouldnt it be nice -- First 50 Dates
5. Because you love me -- Up Close and Personal

[TCAtect]

Please, no batman?

Been filling myself with nothing but the Dark Knight and Batman Begins soundtrack. They are amazing.

[Jeff Wheeler]

Forest Gump :love:

:love:

I love the feather theme song, which isn’t on the official soundtrack for some reason.

Titanic is pretty sweet too.

[saluta]

I've just watched the Perfect Storm earlier. It's been a decade since I've last seen it, and the thing I can't forget is the song Yours Forever by John Mellencamp.

[gonbon]

Best movie sountracks Star Wars - Requiem for a dream

[Jeff Wheeler]

The ship that never arrived to New York because of the ice berg.

Really? :sure:

[graylensman]

Actually, it's the story about an iceberg that was just minding its own business, not bothering anybody, just floating along in the North Atlantic, when some stupid primates in a large metal contraption chugged across its path. Poor iceberg. :(

[TheCanadian]

Any movie by Elvis has the best soundtrack.

[igmir]

I like the soundtrack of the Perfect Storm. I'n not so sure whether the title of the song is Yours Forever but I do know that it was performed by John Mellencamp.

[Jeff Wheeler]

Schindler's List Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1UvabfIbl8&feature=related); not sure how I missed this incredible piece until recently.

[garyzero]

How about a game that played like a movie? I love the Mass Effect soundtrack. I rarely love a movie soundtrack, just a song or two for me.

I really like the TV series Dexter soundtrack, its quite good.

Edit: I just thought of one I really liked, Last Man Standing 1996 by Ry Cooder was really good.

[saxx]

There were a few movies that had me looking in the credits to find the artists, but for the most part i've always thought movie soundtracks suck.
