What is your favorite soundtrack for a movie?

The Matrix
Sleepless in Seattle
When Harry Met Sally
Desperado
The Commitments
Magnolia
Rattle and Hum (I know that one probably doesn’t count)

Mamma Mia is my current favorite, but I also love the soundtrack for The Last of the Mohicans, Sex and the City, and Gone With the Wind.

The soundtrack to Baz Lurhmann’s Romeo and Juliet. I’ll watch the movie minimized just to hear the movie soundtrack. The album itself is even nicer.

The film about the Irish kids who formed a band to play and sing black soul music. “Mustang Sally” was one of the songs. Otis Redding had a cameo. I forgot the name.

The Graduate

@gailcalled – I think the movie you forgot the name to was The Commitments

Brian: You’re right. I confused it with “Spinal Tap,” which had a pretty funny sound track.

Thank you, once again.

Garden State.
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist.
The Grinch, hahah.
Juno’s soundtrack is alright.

@onesecondregrets i forgot about Nick and Norah, that was a good soundtrack. Garden State is ok, kinda blaise i suppose though.

Office Space and O Brother, Where Art Thou?

O Brother, Where Art Thou
A Walk on the Moon
Across the Universe
Juno
The Big Chill

O Brother Where Art Thou
Lost Highway

@eponymoushipster Garden State, blaise? Never! Haha but I do understand why one would think that. If anything I think Juno’s is more so, Kimya Dawson gets irritating after a while, haha.

O Brother Where Art Thou
The Big Chill
Ray
Dawn of the Dead (newer one)

@onesecondregrets well, maybe it’s the memories i have associated with it. it’s just kinda mup mup mup for me; kimya dawson does grate after a while, too. a least the pace of that ST is a bit more brisk. (the cera/page duet is unnecessary imo).

High Fidelity
O Brother Where Art Thou
Juno
Dead Man

The Harder They Come

Greatest soundtrack ever.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Amadeus
Barry Lyndon
Blade Runner
Jesus Christ, Superstar
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Spartacus
The Matrix
Titus

The Gladiator and 50 First Dates

Grosse Point Blank has my favorite soundtrack.

- Fear
– Singles
– Very Bad Things

These go back a ways, but my favorites are Somewhere in Time and The Sting. Somewhere in Time has some very haunting instrumental themes, the best of which is Rachmaninoff’s “Variations on a Theme of Paganini.” I have played it as a piano solo and it is gorgeous. As for The Sting, well, you just can’t go wrong with Marvin Hamlisch and Scott Joplin together. I grew up listening to this album (yes, album) and I think it had a lot to do with me becoming a pianist.

When Harry Met Sally is also greatness. I don’t know where I’d be musically if that movie hadn’t introduced me to Harry Connick Jr.

Forrest Gump
Remember the Titans
Good Morning Vietnam
My Girl
Sharky’s Machine
Gladiator

Can’t believe that I forgot:
LOTR
The Magnificent Seven
Vertigo

Ironman
Braveheart
Young Guns
The Crow
August Rush

Garden State.
Elizabethtown.
Nightmare Before Christmas (:D)

hey, thanks everyone…it looks like I have plenty of music to work with now =)

Marie Antoinette and Trainspotting, I think.

A list of the greatest composers of film scores would have to include:
Danny Elfman
Bernard Herrmann
Alex North
Jerry Goldsmith
John Williams
Howard Shore
Don Davis
James Horner
Henry Mancini
Elmer Bernstein
John Barry

You can wiki them to see their works.

Resident Evil 1,2

@eponymoushipster I know what you mean with the memories, especially with that movie. Shared it with my first serious relationship but the music remains the same! And Juno’s definitely is a little more light and agreed! That track’s a wee superfluous, haha.

@Bluefreedom…Forrest Gump, absolutely. Good Morning Vietnam, and My Girl too. Good ones all the way.

Dazed and Confused!

This has been asked before…
Well, a song I am not crazy about is Iris but everyone else loves that song…
Goo Goo Dolls have made a few soundtracks though.

O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Where the River Flows North
Juno

@ milnoy Lurve for mentioning “Where the River Flows North”. I don’t remember the soundtrack but it is a great little-known movie.

The soundtracks for the other two are great too.

Assault on Precinct 13 – 1976

Rush
Singles
Into The Wild

The Lord of the Rings
Children of Men
Into the Wild
Requiem for a Dream
El Alamein
Pan’s Labyrinth

The Island
... ah.. many more..

“Enter the Dragon” (1973)

Didn’t like the movie or Bruce Lee that much, however.

I missed this one the first time around. One of my all-time favourites is Scent of a Woman. The soundtrack is as great as the film is.
