Favorite movie soundtrack

[tan]

What's your favorite movie soundtrack?

For me, it's the soundtrack of "Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain" because the music is so soothing.

[Odaisé Gaelach]

Pink Floyd - The Wall

...Does that count?

Okay, basically the 24 Soundtrack by Sean Callery. 'Couple of dodgy ones in there, but a lot of wonderful ones too. :)

[Miriel]

Lord of the Rings!

I was listening to the RotK soundtrack today and it's so magnificent .

Also, I just recently got a hold of the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind OST and it's beautiful. Too short though! But still very very beautiful. "Peer Pressure" is gonna be my wedding processional song. :D

[Del Murder]

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, Aladdin, Lion King, The Godfather.

[The Captain]

Lost In Translation and Garden State come to mind very quickly.

Take care all.

[Jowy]

Garden State n.n

And Requiem for a Dream's haunting soundtrack is just oh so engrossing. <3

[Avarice-ness]

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, Aladdin, Lion King, The Godfather.

Good Choices, I shall expand. Anything John Williams composes, Howard Shore as well (LotR composer), more so John Williams though, his musics lovely. :)

I also like the Armageddon soundtrack. =D Not very symphonic but I like it none-the-less. :razz:

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

I recently bought the Best Of Bond cd and I love it!:) It replaced Star Wars Episode III as my favorite soundtrack.

[Araciel]

vanilla sky soundtrack is my current favourite

also liked walk the line...and la bamba...and buddy holly story...but those are all cause of the old music

[Yuffie514]

Silent Hill/Silent Hill 3..."You're Not Here" (Melissa Williamson)
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children..."Pure Heart" (Ritsuki Nakano)

The soundtracks of all the Tarantino movies rock. I especially like the soundtrack to "Jackie Brown". Very funky :)

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

American Graffiti with Trainspotting coming in second

[ValkyrieWing]

Hmmmm...

Ironically enough, even though I hate musicals, I like the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. And LoTR and Pirates of the Carribbean, though I liked the first one better.

And some of Drumline cause I'm a drummer. :P

[Rengori]

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, Aladdin, Lion King, The Godfather.

Also the History of the World for the Inquistion musical bit.

[Pharoh Amon Khan III]

Anything by John Williams and/or John Powell.

Namely Superman, Indiana Jones, The Italian Job, Bourne Identity/Supremecy, Star Wars, X-Men 3: The Last Stand, Jurassic Park and a legacy of others.

[fantasyjunkie]

Star Wars and O' Brother Where art thou?

[exit60b]

hmm, garden state probably takes the cake, i also love the moulin rouge & romeo + juliet soundtracks... and the air virgin suicides soundtracks.

to add, i'm also quite fond of the FFVII:AC soundtrack :D

[I Took the Red Pill]

Probably Lost in Translation, but Thomas Newman did excellent on The Shawshank Redemption's soundtrack as well.

[here for a limited time]

LOTR, Pirates of the carribean, Star Wars, and spider-man, and super-man, and i forget the rest :/

[Kossage]

My favourite movie soundtrack is The Land Before Time by James Horner. It has very beautiful and memorable themes, complex orchestration and a nice children's choir that adds a touch of magic, not to mention the soundtrack also has one of the best songs ever, the emotional "If We Hold on Together". The are some sad tracks such as "Whispering Winds" which truly create a somber mood, and the counterpoint is action like in the track "Sharptooth and the Earthquake", and the themes are used in a clever way, making the score truly a grand one. :)

There are other soundtracks I like as well, but there are too many to list, so I mention just a few: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (gotta love the thematic complexity and operatic proportions which Howard Shore used in the three LotR scores, especially now that we finally realize the monumental task as we get our hands on the Complete Recordings of the said scores), Star Wars Original Trilogy (episodes IV-VI are very nice and get more and more complex with each soundtrack, and although the prequel scores are nice too they just don't reach the thematic beauty of the originals), Jurassic Park (Williams shows his skill in the score of the first JP film and introduces us to some memorable choral and instrumental themes not to mention some thrilling action cues), The Lion King (it has nice songs and the score itself is easily Zimmer's best work ever if you've got your hands on the complete score and can hear the thematic development in its full glory; he establishes many themes and offers us variations of the themes while introducing some nice musical bits into his score, and he also includes African elements to the mix), and Bambi (one of Disney's best soundtracks with the beautiful choir, memorable themes and songs and the awesome instrumentalization).

I could keep the list going and going, because there are so many great examples of good soundtracks, but so far none of them, not even LotR (although it's a strong candidate because of its thematic complexity) has come close to the orchestral and choral beauty of The Land Before Time.

[Mythra]

Donnie Darko, Requiem For A Dream, Man On Fire (the last song on there is great), and the Underworld soundtracks all come to mind.

[Dreddz]

8-Mile or Donnie Darko.

As for animated films, Akira hands down.

[Rosenti]

Theme Of Laura.. lol from silent hill

ovoisly that is my fav, since SH is my fav movie duh! :D

[Lost Number]

I would have to say the Matrix Trilogy. I think both Juno Reactor and Rob Dougan rock. Together, they pwn. Tunes like Neodammerung, the edited version Navras, and so many others. And there are more tranquil songs too, and sad ones, like the one plays at the end of the trilogy (no spoilers).

[No.78]

Killll Billl

[Mirage]

Most of what Hans Zimmer has made, The Matrix soundtracks (though mostly from the first movie), Donnie Darko, the Spider Man ones are good too, but I don't have it o my PC so I don't really know if it's awesome.

[Raebus]

Reservoir dogs, Spirited Away, Survive Style 5+.

[Spiffing Cheese]

The Lion King! :drool:

[~SapphireStar~]

I have so many! Resevior Dogs, Blues Brothers, Lord of the Rings, Lilo & Stitch and everything by John Williams!

[Quindiana Jones]

Star Wars, LotR, The Lion King, Jungle Book, urrrmmm...oh there's just too many.

And of course, Barry and Joan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo4sO401h08)...or whatever it's called. It's a good song.

[Kefka_Almighty]

Rocky Horror Picture Show and Boondock Saints

[Sefie1999AD]

My favorite soundtrack is probably the one in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children because that one uses a lot of themes I've grown fond of in FFVII, and it also has a good amount of beautiful new orchestral and choral tracks. What I also like about it is how all the music used in the movie has been released in the soundtrack.

A score such as LotR: Return of the King could have been one of my favorites if all of the music used in the film had been released. However, we get about 70 minutes worth of music out of 4+ hours, and I thought so many great parts were left out of the soundtrack.

Disney's Beauty and the Beast is also one of my favorite soundtracks. The music is very beautiful and emotional. I think Spider-Man 2 had a great soundtrack too, both the score and the pop songs.
