Movie Soundtracks

[Wasted Puppy]

Sky's VH1 (446) is presently having a 'Movie Soundtrack Weekend' - great idea. I switched over quite by accident but I'm hooked. Super tracks.

Cheers for that! Just flicked over



What is the best film track ever? For a quick thought I'd have to go for Grease or Saturday Night Fever

 

[xt3rmin8_1987]

Grease takes a lot of beating, it's just so damned catchy that you're instantly transformed into ONJ (in my case)

 

[Bluebeard]

Been watching it now................


(tho think I was a bit of a Rizzo............ )

 

[Macaulayy]

Probably going to get slagged for this but I love the soundtrack for Labyrinth!
I also love Resevoir dogs, Pulp Fiction and the lost boys.

 

[dot falcon]

Labyrinth had a great soundtrack...!

I also loved Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, St Elmo's Fire and Some Kind of Wonderful...oh yeah and of course...Grease!

*the mission* had a great soundtrack - beautiful music.

talking of soundtracks - does anyone have the dvd of *true romance*? if so, you know the music that plays over the dvd menu page - what is that? its just that its one of these bits of music that has cropped up quite a bit recently (tv trailers etc), and I'm sure it was also used in *finding forrester*?

[Just a Girl with a gutair]

Labyrinth has a cool soundtrack, one of our local pubs occasionally plays Magic Dance!

I like the soundtracks for the Matrix and The Crow

 

[Shanequa]

I like Shrek's soundtrack.

;833957']Last of the Mohicans has a brilliant soundtrack. (The original CD, not the re-done one)

 

[Zenkodiak]

I like all thats been mentioned already, but another good one is Snatch.

There was a really obscure film from the 1980's called Times Square. That had an absolutely fantastic sountrack full of classic new wave tracks from the Pretenders, Gary Numan, The SkiRAB and the like.

 

[roberto-chang]

and *pretty in pink* had a fantastic soundtrack - new order, smiths, the bunnymen, not to mention the title track.

I love so many movie soundtracks! Have to agree with many here already but to add a few more...

Dirty Dancing and More Dirty Dancing (yes folks I have both!

Moulin Rouge - is just amazing!

Cruel Intentions has a wicked soundtrack

Pulp Fiction

Top Gun

Clueless

 

[chica25]

An absolute top notch sountrack is one from the movie 'The Jackal@ with Bruce Willis and Richard Gear. I'd recommend it if you can find it.

 

[BADBOY!!!]

Ooooh OoooH

I forgot

Boxing Helena and Donnie Darko both have good soundtracks

Wish I could get hold of Boxing Helena soundtrack...but its been discontinued

 

[King Hustler T.I.P.]

grosse point blank has a superb soundtrack, as does beverly hills cop (possibly one of the best).

 

[misterdude123]

More top movie soundtracks:

The Lost Boys
Pump Up the Volume
Empire RecorRAB
Some Kind of Wonderful

Ghost Dog - Way of The Samurai. The normal soundtrack is pretty good, but the Japanese import with all the instrumental stuff you hear when the pigeons are flying about is even better.

Until The End of The World gets my vote for the best rock soundtrack: Talking HeaRAB, Neneh Cherry, Can, REM, Nick Cave, Patti Smith, Depeche Mode, Jane Siberry and kd lang, Daniel Lanois and U2 - and every track's a winner.

Trouble Man by Marvin Gaye is a great soundtrack, and is my favourite of that era and genre. Shaft and Superfly are both great, but this somehow seems more of a coherent composition, and hasn't dated in the same way - it's like freeze-dried cool.

I quite like the soundtrack to Pi, although many of the choices are quite obvious.

Can't believe no one has mentioned the Moulin Rouge soundtrack which si awesome - the double CD of course
