best movie soundtracks? (1 Viewer)

I still listen to Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey soundtrack, loved Faith No More, Primus, Kings-X & Megadeth at the time and there are some great songs from them on the CD.

"GO TO HELL!"

Howard Shore - Lord of the Rings - FotR, TTT, RotK (All three are amazing)
James Horner - Titanic - minus the Celine Dion song and we've got a great soundtrack.
John Dabney - The Passion of The Christ
Garden State - Zach Braff did a good job compiling a basically a greatest hits of todays music.
John Williams - Schindlers List - I love John Williams work, but this one is my favorite.
James Newton Howard - The Sixth Sense

In some more off beat stuff, I still love the Ghostbusters soundtrack from the first movie. And oddly enough the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack.

Now, are we talking about soundtrack albums (with songs aside from the traditional score) or are we talking about the score? Because I see quite a few just posting score albums rather than soundtrack collections of songs.

If you want my opinion of the perfect mix of the two then I would name Queen's Flash Gordon soundtrack album, absolute perfect mix of dialog, song, band score & orchestral score from the film....lot's of fun. In fact that would make for a VERY interesting DVD-A.

When I think of a soundtrack, I think of the score. I consider score music to be our generation's classic music.

One of my all-time favorites is Born on the Fourth of July. Interestingly it has a mix of score with songs, but the score is incredible, with very haunting trumpet solos.

A couple of favorite score-onlys are Wyatt Earp by James Newton Howard and Legends of the Fall James Horner.

I have this old cassette of The Shining soundtrack that I pop in whenever I start a genre-related screenplay. Great stuff! I also enjoy my SACD of the Jerry Goldsmith scores.

Certainly some great ones mentioned, especially some I had enjoyed and forgotten about, Not Another Teen Movie being one of those. Requeim for a Dream is great, as is Kill Bill.

One I would like to throw into the mix..

Last Action Hero, that was quite a rocking CD I listened to that one a lot.

Back to the Future is good.

That Thing You Do! is my all time favorite movie soundtrack... ever.

 

[Nate Anderson]

I just saw "Alexander" last night. Say what you will about the movie, but I loved the music, and plan on hunting down the CD as soon as I can.

 

[Kyle Smith]

The first ones that pop in my head...

Ravenous
I Heart Huckabess (or any Jon Brion score for that matter).
Virgin Suicides
