What's your all-time favorite movie soundtrack? I know, there are so many great soundtracks out there, but there must've been one that absolutely captured your attention? Personally, I can't stop listening to the "Vamp" soundtrack Jonathan Elias did back in 1986 for the movie of the same name. It's so 80's meets Tangerine Dreams, but it was composed for a cheesy 80's vampire flick (which I treasure), so it does have that distinct 80's sound to it. You can listen to one of the tracks here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0oOcNzKC2w). Note, the video's got nothing to do with the movie or its soundtrack.

A couple of other classic soundtracks:

- Hook
- Jurassic Park
- Lord of the Rings Trilogy
- Bram Stoker's Dracula
- Blood Moon

Any favorite soundtracks?

really like born supremacy/ultimatum
and garden state and scrubs

Too many to mention. Here's my top five though in any order.


Predator
The New World
Gladiator
Contact
The Green Mile

Beetlejuice

Borat - Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan: Original Soundtrack

The Crow

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Original Soundtrack

Mirrormask

The Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Josie and the Pussycats is a masterwork. In my Top 10 albums, period. Not just soundtracks. Adam Duritz from Counting Crows and Adam Schlessinger from Fountains of Wayne co-wrote some of the songs, Babyface produced it, Kay Hanley of Letters to Cleo fame does Josie's voice. It just has songs across the gamut of emotions, and two hilarious songs from Du Jour :p Oh and the girls (Rachael, Rosario, and Tara) actually sing back-up :D

The score of Matrix: Revolutions is another personal fav, as well as the High Fidelity soundtrack.

Uh probably Akira

I only have soundtracks for Kill Bill Vols. 1 and 2, Titanic and The Virgin Suicides and they are all really good. Evita is my favourite though <3

There are many soundtracks which I really like (from composers such as John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Mikl�s R�zsa, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, John Debney, Hans Zimmer etc.), but if I'm forced to choose between them, two entries stand out: Lord of the Rings trilogy by Howard Shore (I really consider the scores for the three films as a one massive score for obvious reasons) and The Land Before Time by James Horner.

LotR Trilogy (particularly as presented in its original form as intended by Shore in the Complete Recordings sets) is truly an outstanding work with many memorable themes and motifs (many of which get more and more development as the score and films progress until they mature to their full form), various instruments as well as different musical styles for different cultures, and that's only scratching the surface of this enormous project.

The Land Before Time is the best score James Horner has composed so far and even though it is reminiscent of certain classic pieces, it's still a very beautiful and haunting score with many themes and a very memorable song. The score offers both choral majesty as well as some tragic and scary moments and yet keeps some optimism throughout with antics that help to balance the darker aspects of the story. All in all it's a solid score which keeps the pace up, never loses its focus and is truly a heartbreaking piece of art.

I adore the Shrek soundtracks.

I couldn't agree with you more. I have the soundtrack, and I play it quite often. I think my favorite pieces are: "Whispering Winds" and "the Great Migration".

Another favorite of mine is James Horner's "An American Tail".

I bought the virgin suicides soundtrack for a �1 a while ago, best pound spent in a long time

always like Band of Brothers OST...!
the song is very luxury. especially Main Theme song.

spiderman 2 soundtrack it gets me hyper lol

I really like The Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Epic songs.

Cars & Space Jam. Oh, and the first Rocky

Any Jerry Goldsmith will do for me.

But the 5 I really like would be:

Islands In The Stream - Jerry Goldsmith
Hook - John Williams
X-Men The Last Stand - John Powell
Young Sherlock Holmes - Bruce Boughton
Thelma & Louise - Hans Zimmer

Though I don't really listen to a lot of OSTs, I do love the Blade Runner soundtrack by Vangelis. I really like Rutger Hauer's monologue on the track 'Tears In Rain', even though a lot of his acting since Blade Runner doesn't leave much to be admired, but that monologue is very, very good. Actually, that's not fair, I should say a lot of his roles don't leave much to be admired.

Probably the Mirrormask and the Piano. And a lot of stuff by Vangelis.

- All of the "Star Wars" soundtracks.
- The 70's "Dawn of the Dead" soundtrack.
- "Zombi 2" soundtrack.
- I'll count both "Grindhouse" movies as one continually great soundtrack.
- "The Crow"

And a lot of stuff by Vangelis.

same, the blade runner ost is one of my favourite movie soundtracks. ennio morricone kills it also. both of them are incredible

Matrix
Matrix Reloaded (Juno Reactor and Don Davis did good.)
Mortal Kombat (First Soundtrack I ever owned. KMFDM anyone?)
Lord of the Rings
Star Wars

Recently...

Hot Fuzz had a pretty good soundtrack. I need to buy it or something for myself.

Matrix
Matrix Reloaded (Juno Reactor and Don Davis did good.)

I agree. But I'm more partial to Furious Angels/Chateau. Rob Dougan, ftw.

You're right. Slipped my mind. It's almost sinful not to mention those tracks/artist.

Anything by Harry Gregson Williams or John Powell.

Bourne Identity and Supremacy
Philip Glass' work with Illusionist. And 'Analyse' is perfect to cap off the movie (whoops, not supposed to discuss Mr. Yorke for some absurd reason)
Also: Pan's Labyrinth (haven't got a chance to see it; would love to now)
The Fountain (majestic)

also cant believe i forgot the soundtrack to 'all about lily chou-chou,' as its my favourite movie ost and also one of my favourite films of all time

- All of the "Star Wars" soundtracks.

Ah, yeah! There are so many wonderful tunes from these movies. I haven't listened to any of them for a long time, so now the time has come.

for me its the unoffical 80's soundtrack to Real Genius

I have really been enjoying the Hours soundtrack lately. Loved the film for years but never really took much notice to the music.
