Best Soundtrack?
Good soundtracks enhance the mood of a film and usually evoke memories of a film while they're on. Unfortunately, most soundtracks nowadays are throwaway pop/rock compilations that really don't reflect the mood of the film at all. Anyway, here are some of the best ones I own...
Pulp Fiction/Jackie Brown/Reservoir Dogs (Tarentino puts amazing soundtracks together) Rushmore The Rules of Attraction The End of Violence Good Will Hunting Office Space (gangsta rap worked surprisingly well in this film) Trainspotting |
Top Gun and Days of Thunder and Footloose.
|
I'll second Trainspotting, Rushmore, and The Rules of Attraction. I'll also add The Royal Tenenbaums.

My favs are:
The Crow Escape from Los Angeles Spawn The Matrix |
Until The End Of The World and Natural Born Killers. I also second Lost Highway.
|
Selmasongs - Soundtrack from Dancer in the Dark
|
Conan the Barbarian
|
If we're just talking pop soundtracks and not actual film scores, my faves are:
Hedwig & The Angry inch (although I do REALLY prefer the original off-broadway cast album) Magnolia Macross Plus I & II Little Shop of Horrors Dead Man Walking |
oh oh oh, I forgot R.E.M.'s "Man on the Moon" st. It's worth it for the version of "This Friendly World" alone!!!
|
Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
Dead Presidents Judgment Night |
PRETTY IN PINK!!
Dammit. Because all "college rock" - that later morphed into "alternative rock" - began here. |
Singles.
About A Boy. And the best soundtrack compilation ever - Until the End of the World. |
Originally posted by Buford T Pusser Some good ones listed. I'll have to check out that movie. I LOVE Space, Supernaturals, Silver Sun and the Wannadies. It would be interesting to hear them in a flick. Is it any good? |
Originally posted by Nighthawk Conan the Barbarian 24 Hour Party People takes the cake for me, classic tracks beginning to end. Rushmore had some amazing, somewhat forgotten choices and revitalized "I am Waiting", my favorite sleeper Rolling Stones song. Grosse Point Blank had some great tunes. Pulp Fiction is still great. Natural Born Killers is one of the better things Trent Reznor ever did and very few people have it, their loss. Style Wars has a great selection of rare early hip-hop, so does Scratch. Dogtown and Z-Boys is chock-a-block full of 70s classics. Almost Famous is the only movie I can think of that's got Led Zepplin in it (other than Fast Times). It's also full of great songs. Camron Crowe has some serious pull in the industry. |
I agree on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack also...don't know why that didn't end up on my list.
