Films with great sound tracks

Secret life of Walter Mitty.

player one.

Rocky 4.

Restless natives.

The Blues Brothers
The Commitments
These are to be expected really

Guardians of The Galaxy (both of them)

/serious mode

It’s a decent film, worth watching anyway. But you can’t look at the soundtrack and judge based on the songs, it’s the way the songs are choreographed into the film that makes it brilliant.

Yes you are quite right about how the songs work with the film so I’ll have to give it a watch 👍🏻

INRAT

American Werewolf in London

Good to see morricone and lalo schiffrin already mentioned.

Quincy Jones should also get a shout for his many fine soundtrack contributions.

It might not be the best overall soundtrack, but is there a better musical moment than the escape scene in The Italian Job?

Night fever

Big Lebowski

Drive
Django Unchained

Friday Night Lights

Paint Your Wagon.

Last of the Mohicans. I saw the film & immediately bought the soundtrack, so yeah, epic.

Time to end this thread now.

No jazzers in today then??

Caravan

Neither were the best films but such a visual and audio treat, plus they remind me of happier times

Until the end of the world – Wim Wenders

Romeo + Juliet: Directed by Baz Luhrmann

Into The Wild. Eddie Vedder soundtrack.

My 2 faves:
Dead Man . Awesome film, awesome soundtrack (Neil Young)
Southern Comfort, in a similar vein – Ry Cooder. Awesome film too.

Donkey Punch has a damn good soundtrack. Great soundtrack, great film (actually, terrible film :D )

Morvern Caller (with Samantha Morton) is a bit miserable, but the music is fab (Can, Aphex Twin, Velvets.. etc)

Ocean’s Eleven prob already been mentioned.

The Hit from 1984 I have the soundtrack on vinyl somewhere. I thought it was flamenco, but this trailer has some dodgy riffing. I’ll have to dig it out and have a listen. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087414/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

What no mention of ‘Ironman’!!??

Some good suggestions. I’ll add:

Hackers.

The Mission.

The Mission

Also by the (sadly departed) genius Morricone.

Grosse Point blank
Human Traffic
Lock Stock
Trainspotting
A life Aquatic
Royal Tenebaums.

Ducks over dubbed 2stroke Detroit diesel rather than the puny Caterpillar actually fitted to the Mack is sound for the soul.

Prefer a Gardner 6LXB on tick over myself

Baby Driver

McVicar

Cars, good call.
Love that zz ward song at the end of the last one.

Round midnight

A few gems from Quincy:

And I don’t think I’ve seen any mention of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

Apologies if I missed it, but definitely in my top few film soundtracks.

Though maybe there ought to be separate threads for soundtrack music designed to accompany the movie scenes and soundtracks which just have a nice selection of songs.
