Hopefully this hasn't been asked before, I didn't see any.

Anyways, whats your favorite movie Soundtracks? Mine are Band of Brothers, and King Arthur

Amsterdarn · « **Reply #1 on:** 10 Apr 2005, 20:00 »

I like the soundtracks to Garden State and Vanilla Sky, but at the end of the day, I like my own mix CDs better.

The Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack, however, is brilliant. Second only to the Aladdin soundtrack.

mechorg · « **Reply #2 on:** 10 Apr 2005, 20:17 »

I prefer the musical scores much better:

Jin-Roh
City of Lost Children
Donnie Darko
The Saint

Music in a movie has a large influence on my interest in the film, whether it is score or soundtrack.

For straight up soundtrack, I'm going to have to go goth-geek and say The Crow.

my favorite soundtrack goes to an anime called Furi Kuri (also known as FLCL and Fooly Cooly for some reason)

KharBevNor · « **Reply #5 on:** 10 Apr 2005, 20:27 »

Soundtrack:

Alone in the Dark (Shitty film..AWESOME soundtrack)

Score:

Conan the Barbarian (Campy film...AWESOME score)

muffy · « **Reply #6 on:** 10 Apr 2005, 20:32 »

The Spawn soundtrack's pretty fun.

And, er, the stuff they play on the OC, but I've never looked to see what they put out on their compilations.

i love the soundtrack to Garden State... but, come on now nothing compares to the Rocky Horror Picture Show

Ah, but doesn't Rushmore feature "Concrete and Clay"?

Anyway, as every Australian knows the best soundtrack album ever is that for Young Einstein.

(EDIT: I'd also put in a vote for An American in Paris, but I think musicals should be excluded.)

rynne · « **Reply #17 on:** 11 Apr 2005, 06:27 »

I like the score to Donny Darko and Requiem for a Dream.

Mockery · « **Reply #18 on:** 11 Apr 2005, 06:59 »

I know some of the stuff on the OC is by Evermore, a New Zealand band.
I liked them before they started getting played on pop radio, the poor guys.
They have an album called Dreams, and an EP called Oil & Water

MilkmanDan · « **Reply #19 on:** 11 Apr 2005, 07:16 »

Pi and Requim for a Dream
Trivia: Both directed by Darren Aronofsky, Both scores by Clint Mansell. Yeah.

How on earth can no-one have mentioned John Carpenter yet? Assault on Precinct 13, Escape From New York... time was he couldn't put a foot wrong. The score to Dead Man is pretty excellent too, I think someone told me that was Neil Young?

dave86 · « **Reply #21 on:** 11 Apr 2005, 09:21 »

Team America! Holy craps how has this not come up yet? It's one thing to be funny, but to be funny AND write a catchy song is quite the achievement.

Tinjessla · « **Reply #22 on:** 11 Apr 2005, 09:47 »

The Virgin Sucides and The Fifth Element. Mmm....French-ness. Although that shitty "bonus" track made up of dialogue from the film is pointless.

Listen to the stuff from Cannibal! The Musical, and you will be even more impressed with Trey Parker.

Wow, how could I forget those.
I'll go hang my head in shame now...

...my friend just reminded me that the American Psycho soundtrack is all my favorite cheesy 80s music.

j7 · « **Reply #25 on:** 11 Apr 2005, 12:53 »

six string samurai and ghost dog are my two favorites.

Enyaw · « **Reply #26 on:** 11 Apr 2005, 13:43 »

I have never seen, nor do I intend to see Friday Night Lights, but I heard the soundtrack is almost all Explosions in the Sky songs. That's pretty rad.

I agree with your list.

Yes it is excellent, and yes it is Neil Young (with excerpts of William Blake poems read by Johnny Depp). However that great theme tune played over the opening credits only appears in a 15-minute distortion-laden version on the C.D., which is a bit disappointing.

atari · « **Reply #31 on:** 11 Apr 2005, 15:41 »

Donnie Darko
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill Vol. 1
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Spiderman 1 (I like it... Maybe it's the fancy 3D cover that attracts me so much...)
Garden State
Vanilla Sky
The Virgin Suicides
The Breakfast Club
Almost Famous
I Am Sam
The Boy From Oz
Tommy
Big Fish
The Last Samurai

I can't remember any more that I like, but do you know which one sucks? Series of Unfortunate Events. Why? Because it ripped off Danny Elfman's score for Edward Scissorhands.

harvest17 · « **Reply #32 on:** 11 Apr 2005, 15:51 »

Fellowship of the Ring
The Thin Red Line
American Beauty score

...all orchestral, hmm....

Inlander · « **Reply #33 on:** 11 Apr 2005, 16:10 »

The "Pieces of April" soundtrack is also very good - but then, it's all Stephin Merritt songs so that goes without saying!

The Blues Brothers

Kill Bill vol 1

I must agree - who doesn't love Portuguese covers of David Bowie songs.

I'll also add most of the robert rodriguez movie soundtracks (desperado, dusk till dawn) cause I have a soft spot in my heart for Tito and Turantulla for some reason.

Holy crap, I have to get that soundtrack. It's so beautiful, especially Rufus Wainwright's covers <3.

I just remembered Moulin Rouge. I loved that movie.
