Fun Stuff > BAND
Favourite film/tv soundtracks of all time.
Hat:
Films:
1) Life Aquatic (Portuguese David Bowie for YES)
2) Empire Records (This is pretty much the album that weaned me off metal as a teenager, even though I don't think I've listened to anything else by any of the bands off it)
3) Oh shit I forgot Clerks. *Replaces Pulp Fiction with Clerks*
Phew. I nearly cocked that one right up.
TV:
1) Firefly (Seriously. It is like making love to a fiddle)
2) Scrubs (Nuff said)
3) Arrested Development (Ok, so I don't actually own the soundtrack, nor do I know if there even is an official one out there, but I love the feature on the first season DVD where you can just listen to all the background music in one sitting)
sketchyjoe:
The Curtis Mayfield Superfly soundtrack is the greatest soundtrack in existence.

I agree with the person who mentioned Requiem for a Dream's soundtrack. Fucking great and fucking fucked uppp.

I didn't mention any orchestral/"original" soundtracks in my previous post, so I think I'll ramble on about them for a bit now.
Firstly;
--- Quote from: Praeserpium Machinarum ---The Road to Perdition soundtrack

...is really, really, really awesome. I love the use of the uilleann pipes in "Rock Island, 1931". "Rain Hammers" is a very emotive, beautiful piece, as is "Road to Chicago".
As for the movie itself, it damn near rivals The Godfather for "greatest mafia film of all time", in my view. One of my all time favourites, certainly.
Goodbye, Lenin! was another film whose soundtrack really leapt out at me. "Summer '78" (the piece used in the title sequence) is amazing, and the rapid, manic about "The Deutschmark is Coming" (which fits in quite well with the "oh my God, we need to get rid of these worthless ostmarks as fast as possible" tone of the scene it's used in) is great, too. Yann Tiersen = teh winner.
And who doesn't love just about all of Ennio Morricone's soundtracks? The Mission, The Untouchables, A Fistful of Dollars, etc?
