GuessWho

I played this CD so much back then, that i don't think any soundtrack will ever catch up in my imaginary tally of listens

Mordred

69 times?

starseed1981

Forrest Gump & The Matrix come to mind.

starman9000

I used to listen to Bogus Journey all the time too.

Rushmore is probably my favorite and most played.

project86

I really like the Godzilla soundtrack.

Numanoid

I don't understand how a collection of previously recorded material can be considered an "original" soundtrack.

I figured this would be a thread about SCORES as opposed to 10-12 selected pop songs.

Garden State
I'm Not There
The Fountain
Royal Tenenbaums

Having recently watched the reissued DVD, I'd go with Alan Price's work for "O Lucky Man," which is a collection of songs written for the movie (as opposed to an instrumental soundtrack or a collection of non-original pop songs). He should have won an Oscar, at least for the title song. Many song-based soundtracks are distractions from the story in the movie; this one actually complements it.

TheNightFlier

Conan the Barbarian
Searching for Bobby Fischer
Grosse Pointe Blank

I'm currently enjoying Eddie Vedder's work done for Into The Wild.

Precisely why I don't like most OSTs. I love film scores, and see those "Music from and inspired by" albums as nothing more than a cheap marketing ploy, since most feature songs on them are neither in the film or inspired by it.

For every 'Beverly Hills Cop' with songs actually in the film, there's a 'Men In Black' with almost nothing used in the film.

If the songs are actually in the movie, then that makes the albums valid OSTs.

A film score may not be the most popular of music around, but dammit I love them. Unless they have the name Hans Zimmer on them in any way. Then I can't tolerate them.

Chrisedge

Well, just cause that Forest Gump soundtrack has lots of good songs that are in the movie...it still doesn't work for me.

Now if you just wanted to include albums of songs that were written for the movie (Magnolia, Into The Wild, etc...) I would be ok with that...

Trout

I always thought OST meant music orginally written for the movie, but that's just me knitpicking.

Solaris (remake)
Vampyros Lesbos Sexadelic Dance Party

Various - Strange Days
Various - Singles

Nick Martin

I recall reading that despite how well the songs worked in the film, a Ferris Bueller's Day Off soundtrack was never released because John Hughes felt the songs wouldn't work on album because of how diverse they are.

It's just the idea that a label can put 15 random songs that have nothing to do with a film and call it a soundtrack I have a huge problem with, since it's not really a soundtrack just because the movie's name is on it.

8 Mile: More Music from the Motion Picture (the one without Eminem on it) is a very good collection.

The Bus

RZA - Ghost Dog OST

This was the actual music in the film. It was never released in the US only Japan.
