Mine is Gladiator. The Disney Tarzan soundtrack is great too. What are your favorite soundtracks?
Monsoon Wedding
- Blade Runner - Vangelis
- Miracle Mile - Tangerine Dream
- That Thing You Do! - Tom Hanks, Adam Schlesinger, others
Lost Highway with lots of tracks from Angelo Badalamenti.
- Lock stock and two smoking barrels
- o’ brother where art thou
- tron (daft punk)
A few that spring to mind…
Vertigo
Psycho
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Mulholland Drive
All 3 LOTR films
Star Wars OT
Indiana Jones (especially Raiders)
The Sweet Smell of SuccessOh yes, I remember the Twin Peaks movie having the Cherubini requiem. Awesome stuff
Ah, I never knew what that piece was. It’s fantastic though, a perfect fit along with all of Badalamenti and Lynch’s music.
My particular favourite is the weird drone of The Pink Room, turned up loud, but it’s all good!
Haven’t seen anyone mention Cinema Paradiso or The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Both are wildly different. Ennio Morricone is a genius.
There’s also The Incredibles - Michael Giacchino The Greatest Showman - Various Artists
Saving Private Ryan - John Williams
The Prince of Egypt - Hans Zimmer
The Gospel of John - Jeff Dann (great middle eastern vibe)Last Samurai is super chill
Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and Footloose are probably my favorites of all time. It’s really hard to find soundtracks with a better collection of absolutely amazing songs imo.
To Live and Die in LA by Wang Chung is another great one that hasn’t been mentioned yet
I just watched Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure yesterday and though the soundtrack is not original, the soundtrack made the movie.
A few I did not see in the thread yet,
- Repo Man (1984)
- Jungle Book (1967)
- The Harder They Come (1972)
- This is England (2006)
- Super Fly (1972)
Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse
Not a movie but all 3 Beastars openings sound so good
Life Aquatic
Lady Killers
Fight Club.
Godfather 1 Highlander Empire of the Sun Backdraft Star Wars Ep. 4 Goodfellas Purple Rain
