For a more chilled movie soundtrack 'Garden State' is one of my favourites. G.P.B. is a cracker though.

There's been some oversight, nobody's said Garden State yet. A great soundtrack but also it's not just a list of songs, it fits the film perfectly. "You gotta hear this one song — it’ll change your life; I swear." I ended up buying about 6 albums off the back of that one.

Judgement Night was an amazing album, never actually seen the film though, I'm reasonably sure it'll suck :mrgreen:

Koyanisqaatsi
Apocalypse Now

Oh yes. Oh yes. At last someone with taste...

I'll add:

2001: A Space Odyssey
A Clockwork Orange
Star Wars
Jaws

To me, a soundtrack should help set the scene for the film without detracting from the visual message. Too many films just bung in loads of 'cool' tracks, which don't do this. I'm more a fan of music written for the film, or in 2001's case, scenes choreographed to the music. Perhaps the finest example of this. Koyaanisqatsi is one of the best examples of the music perfectly complimenting the image on screen. Simply brilliant. Then you've got yer Psycho and Jaws which use music to build tension. The opening bars of the Jaws theme, or the shower scene screeching from Psycho are as iconic as the films themselves.

OK, I've checked through the list with increasing disbelief at one glaring omission. Obviously "Highlander" should be in there ("Who Wants to Live Forever" still makes be fill up) but what about... [b][u][i]The Crow[/i][/u][/b]

Check it out!

"Burn" - The Cure
"Golgotha Tenement Blues" - Machines of Loving Grace
"Big Empty" - Stone Temple Pilots
"Dead Souls" - Nine Inch Nails
"Darkness" - Rage Against the Machine
"Color Me Once" - Violent Femmes
"Ghostrider" - Rollins Band
"Milktoast" (also known as "Milquetoast") - Helmet
"The Badge" - Pantera (Poison Idea)
"Slip Slide Melting" - For Love Not Lisa
"After the Flesh" - My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult
"Snakedriver" - The Jesus and Mary Chain
"Time Baby III" - Medicine
"It Can't Rain All the Time" - Jane Siberry

C'mon! It's a classic people!

Not so sure about the Crow but the way they used the music for the huge fight/massacre scene in the nightclub was superb...

How about Transformers The Movie? It had Lion in it.
