Great Movie Soundtracks

[fsu1jreed]

Quietly becoming a favorite movie of mine, Sunshine..........and Rose Byrne is so sexy (Loved her in 'Get him to the Greek')

Sunshine (Adagio in D Minor)

 

[FSUTribe76]

The soundtracks (not scores like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Last of the Mohicans etc) for real movies (not stuff like the Elvis and Beatles "movies" or Spinal Tap) that immediately come to my mind as great from top to bottom and can be listened to without skipping tracks (or more than a couple) are Guardians of the Galaxy, The Crow, Tron Legacy (although this may be disqualified as being more of a score), Oh Brother Where Art Thou, the original Batman soundtrack, Boogie Nights, Legend (basically a two hour Tangerine Dream music video), Purple Rain, Cowboy Bebop (the album is a mix of the movie and the show but it's a must get), Saturday Night Fever, and Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (similar to Legend and Tron Legacy this might be disqualified for being the work of one artist and therefore closer to a score). If you count video games then every Tony Hawk and Crazy Taxi game would be at the top of my list.

1) Guardians of the Galaxy is disqualified because it has that effing Pina Colada song in it, which is one of the worst songs of all time.
2) Sorcerer was a better movie soundtrack album for Tangerine Dream than Legend.

Tubular Bells (The Exorcist).

Kinda of hard to argue against this as being one of the best even if you did not like disco.



Along with the success of the movie, the soundtrack, composed and performed primarily by the You Should Be Dancing" - are also included on the soundtrack. Other previously released songs from the disco era round out the music in the movie.

The soundtrack also won a Pitchfork Media listed Saturday Night Fever as the 34th best album of the 1970s.

The album was added to the [12]

Don't be a Rupert Holmes hater. I love that song---just as much as Manfred Mann's Blinded by the Light.

Dazed and Confused has a great soundtrack.

The Big Chill

 

[arnie7781]

Recently watched Boyhood and really enjoyed the music! The music really fit the movie, I thought.

 

[HulaNole]

It's seasonal but the soundtrack to Elf is fun.

 

[TorreyOaks]

Greenberg is excellent. The whole thing was done by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem.

Another scene from 'Sunshine'..............I would have loved this.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mecury

 

[Frank"the tank"]

Excellent soundtracks already listed.

I will add Heavy Metal.

 

[FSUTribe76]

One I forgot about and is one of the quasi-scores like Tron Legacy and Legend, is Maximum Overdrive. AC/DC basically wrote two new songs "Who Made Who" and the instrumental "DT" and mixed in several great older songs like Hells Bells, You Shook Me All Night Long, For Those About to Rock etc... and released a new album that served as the soundtrack for the movie. It's a great collection of songs and even if you don't like the movie it's a worthy soundtrack.
