Got A Favorite Movie Soundtrack R&Pers?

Question

I simply love Ennio Morricone's Soundtrack to
"The Good The Bad And The Ugly"
So what's Your favorite Soundtrack from a film?

Answer 1

One of my favorite movie soundtracks is for the movie 'Performance'... it has Mick Jagger, Randy Newman, Ry Cooder, The Last Poets, Jack Nitzche, and they were composed for the movie... A lot of great movie soundtracks are just compilations.

Ennio Morricone did some great movie scores, including for 'The Untouchables'.

Answer 2

Ennio Morricone is awesome!
Recently I discovered the soundtrack for the movie "The Big White" with Robin Williams and Holly Hunter. The soundtrack was so awesome, I went to hunt it down. It features songs by The Eels, who I never really tried to listen to before, but after hearing the sequence of the songs, I am addicted. Also there is a song on there called "Getting Away With it (All Messed Up) by James. I love it all!

Answer 3

Dream Girls-West Side Story and South Park the Movie soundtracks

Answer 4

It's ironic, but mine is a tie between Ennio Morricone's "Once Upon a Time in the West" and Prof. Schikle's "Silent Running."

Answer 5

I can't pick just one !

Buster
The Legend of 1900
Ladyhawke
The Breakfast Club
Top Gun


These are others I have *some* tracks from :~

Streets of Fire
Bugsy Malone
Practical Magic
FM
The Crow {soundtrack & score}
The Craft {soundtrack & score}
Flashdance
Showgirls
Fritz the Cat / Heavy Traffic
a couple of Disney songs


Edit :~

Cinnamon, I love that film! And I love to sing along with it!
In fact, I'm quite a fan of musicals, and should probably have added the 'shared' {my mum's} CD of 'Cats'!
{I spent most of my childhood listening to the LP}


2nd Edit :~

I forgot Now And Then ~ though I had to add two glaring ommisions to it : 'Midnight Rider', and the full version of 'All Right Now'.
And I had to add 'Keep On Running' to Buster.

Answer 6

Personally, the Virgin Suicides. A really great score.

Hi Mach Pen. I'll have to check out the other version of Playground Love. I hadn't heard of that. But yeah, the score in general is just so unique and interesting. I love Dead Bodies and the Hurricane one in particular. Great other choices too. I love the Wave of Mutulation version on Pump up the Volume particularly, and I looked up the Lost Highway one not long ago when a question like this came up. I totally forgot how awesome that one was. Great stuff.

Hi Spider, Yeah Kids Soundtrack. I was just talking about Folk Implosion earlier.

Answer 7

If you're talking about songs, it would be the "Singles" soundtrack. "The Big Chill" had a great soundtrack as well.

My favorite soundtrack in terms of a classical-style movie score would be from "Out of Africa" - the music in that movie is absolutely gorgeous. The score from "Vertigo" was amazing too - it added so much to the movie.

Answer 8

Forrest Gump
Purple Rain
Big Chill
Cocktail
Dirty Dancing
Roadhouse
Urban Cowboy

Answer 9

All John Williams soundtracks are amazing. This guy is so talented and has composed music for many different genres of films.

Jaws, Star Wars, Superman, E.T., Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Harry Potter and many more.

Answer 10

If we're keeping this strictly Rock, then I only truly love one.
Prince; Purple Rain.



But, I love musical films with a pathetic passion, and I own far too many soundtracks, from The Sound of Music to Jesus Christ Superstar to Bugsy Malone ['good call' Silver] and everything in between.
I love most of them - but come to think of it The Sound of Music is probably my favourite.
The hills are indeed alive with the sound of music... -nods-
