Best film soundtrack ever?

So many others – I love the track to Goodfellas, particularly the ‘Layla’ sequence, which I won’t link because of the mutilated bodies content…and continuing the mafia theme, the Godfather has an awesome theme and soundtrack.

So let’s have Wild Theme from Local Hero, as mentioned:

Lawrence of Arabia
Woodstock

Kick Ass.

Kick ass (although its pretty crap when listened to without the film)
Chariots of fire.
Grosse point blank
All the first 4 rocky films (just for the childhood memories and motivation factor)

edit: bloody hell beaten to kick ass in the time it took me to type it out!

Restless natives ,

So many but moon & once upon a time in the west stand out for me

All my fave soundtracks have been done already but fave score is Thunderball.

Another vote for Highlander & The Crow.
The Matrix – just for a bit of RATM.

TV programme rather than film…Roswell – always had a cracking playlist.

Apocalypse Now …. everyone loves a bit of Wagner in the morning

Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid …. Sacha Distel’s Rain Drops is a guilty pleasure of mine… 😀

Trainspotting or The Big Lebowski

The Graduate

Gladiator – score

Donnie Darko – soundtrack and score

The Big Lebowski ??

I hate the ‘kin Eagles 😀

My 3 fave film soundtracks:

Paris, Texas
Southern Comfort
Dead Man

(1st 2, Ry Cooder sliding; 3rd, Neil Young, er Neil Younging. Glorious)

+1 for The Mission, and I’ll raise you Cinema Paradiso.

In fact, anything by Ennio Morricone really…

‘Hanna’ is damn good (Chemical Brothers)

anything by Morricone, but especially Once upon a time in the west.
Cal, mark knopfler again.

Last Action Hero has AC/DC so that’s cool, Maximum Overdrive too.

Withnail and I
Paris, Texas
Flash Gordon
Once upon a time in the west.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me – A belter from Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch

Anything by Hans Zimmer.

Brokeback Mountain is exceptional (yes, really!). My other faves have already been mentioned, notably Moon.

3 pages in and no “The Harder they Come”?

Point Break, the Crow, Bill and teds excellent Adventure, Highlander,

Crossroads awful film but with Steve Vai and Ry Cooder doing the soundtrack bearable.

Platoon or Donnie Darko

Forrest Gump

Take a look at the listings. Great soundtrack.

The shining

Don’t play it too late.

Many already mentioned. Plus …… Cabaret!

Got to be Tank Girl or Natural Born Killers.

Natural Born Killers.

IIRC, that has possibly the best use of music in any film ever. The scene where Harrelson grabs a shotgun and goes slow-mo batshit, and Rage Against The Machine kicks in at just the right spot, is cinematic genius. I think I actually shouted “YES!” in the middle of the cinema.

Last of the Mohicans

Scott Pilgrim.
Tron Legacy.

This is one …

Hi fidelity has some top tunes inc belle and Sebastian and the beta band to name but a few.
As for opening songs I really like real steel’s opener “all my days”
Also goodfellas has quite a good score

Can’t believe quadrophenia hasn’t had a mentoion yet.

i vote for Drive and Good Will Hunting 🙂

My first thought was bom ba bom bom Tron, but great call on Donnie Darko, it creates such a poignant atmosphere, almost surreal.

Rocky 2
Trainspotting
