Favorite Soundtracks?

Schmidty · 10-19-2007, 06:32 PM

I just got done watching "An American Tail" with my daughter, and was reminded how great the soundtrack is. I actually own it. Maybe it's nostalgia, but I still tear up at the end of the movie.

Anyway, that got me thinking about soundtracks I really like. I just started this thread right after I started thinking about, so I'm sure I'm missing a ton that I like better, but here are a few that stand out in my mind right now:

An American Tail

Donnie Darko

Meet Me in St. Louis

Rushmore

Star Wars

The Mission

A Nightmare Before Christmas

I'll stop there. What are some of your favorites?

Greyroofoo · 10-19-2007, 06:35 PM

Lawrence of Arabia

Indiana Jones

Back to the Future

Just to name a few

also, I am enjoying a track or two from Transformers of late, but I don't think I can quite put it in my favorites, yet.

I could name about 50 more, but this was just a quick list.

JCS is there as well. So is Scrooge (1970 -- Albert Finney) I guess we probably shouldn't count those as soundtracks.

Draft Dodger · 10-19-2007, 07:17 PM

Footloose and Chariots of Fire

Peregrine · 10-19-2007, 07:17 PM

The Constant Gardener is one of my favorites, excellent African music

Calis · 10-19-2007, 07:20 PM

I loved the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack, that one got a lot playtime.

Probably the most played soundtrack of my lifetime is The Little Mermaid one. Listened to the hell out of that when I was little, and I'm not ashamed of it.

God, I just remembered the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Coming out of their Shells tape I had and listened to religiously for a while. Terrible.

MikeVic · 10-19-2007, 07:25 PM

I'd have to see a list of movies and pick out if I liked their soundtracks... but off the top of my head... most Tarantino movies, Moulin Rouge, and Garden State. If I had to pick a top one, it would be Garden State. Opened so many musical artists to me.

I think if it's the movie soundtrack of the musical, then it absolutely counts. I don't like the broadway version of "Grease", but I love the OMPS version. Same thing with West Side Story...

It's reallyt awesome.

It is a compilation of songs where they team up a rap group and a heavy metal group. It was pretty revolutionary in the music industry at the time.

A few of the duos were

Helmet/ House of Pain
onyx/ Biohazard
living colour/ run DMC
Slayer/ Iced T
Pearl Jam/ Cypruss hill
