I don't think this has been asked in a while.
What movie do you think have the best soundtracks.I like heavy metal so I tend to skew in that direction.
My personal favorites are: SFW,The Crow,The Blues Brothers, and Demon Knight.
SWF probably has the best soundtrack out of those.I mean comon it has GWAR.What could be better than that.

I'd have to go with Fight Club.  It has some of the best tunage I've ever head; all of it by the Dust Brothers.

The Big Lebowski's soundtrack is an obscuro record-geek's dream: Captain Beefheart, The Monks, Esquivel, Kraftwerk, plus some nice forgotten songs by Bob Dylan and Kenny Rogers.

Also, I've never seen it, but Freddy Got Fingered seems to have a damn good punk soundtrack, including Iggy Pop singing "I've Gotta Be Me!"

They have the Sex Pistols on there too.

Personally, I gotta go with the classics....Deep Red, any of the other Goblin stuff, Psycho, Taxi Driver.  I hate the way that movies today just have a random collection of songs, though it's worked for a handful of movies.  I remember the REPO MAN soundtrack fondly, though at least in that case they also had some music composed for the film.

But this generation isn't going to have anything that becomes part of the popular culture like the JAWS or PSYCHO theme--just a bunch of disposable pop songs that cause the movie to look dated and be thrown in the trash as soon as the musical fads change.

American Graffiti

St. Elmo's Fire

Donnie Darko

several others

Tromeo & Juliet

Bride Of Chucky

Ghostbusters (even though all but two songs SUCKED, it was awesome)

Citizen Toxie

I would have to say :
Natural Born Killers
High Fidelity
The Warriors
Paint Your Wagon (hehe)

Ferris Bueller's Day Off,  and  River's Edge are my favorites

The only sound track I have (and I didn't see the movie) is from The Decline and Fall of Western Civilization-- basically the early 1980's West Coast punk scene.  It's got X, Fear, and a bunch of others I can't recall.  Kick ass albumn.

"The One" with Jet Li. Saw it in the theaters and the sound track for the most part was awesome.
Also I like alot of the "Apocalypse Now" soundtrack.

Singles
Judgement Night
Angus
both Bill and Ted's films
Last Action Hero
American Werewolf in Paris

Danm I forgot Bill And Ted.Also I have to put a new one up for my favorite, Waynes World 1&2. The scene with them singing Bohemian Rhapsody is an absolute classic.

Oh yeah, and all of Carpenter's stuff.

Oh, I'm definitely with you there wyckednick on Wayne's World 1 & 2.....foxy....
I'm a sucker for the 80's so I'm gonna have to say I particulary like the soundtracks...double CD actually...of The Wedding Singer.

Psych Out- strawberry alarm clock, the seeds, boenzee cryque (purple haze backwards exploited) awesome

Riot on the Sunset Strip- Standells, Chocolate Watchband, Moving Sidewalks

Return of the Living Dead- Damned, TSOL, Cramps

Goblin Soundtracks- Tenebre, Suspiria, Tenebre

Pulp Fiction
From Dusk til Dawn

Princess Mononoke has a pretty fricking beautiful soundtrack.

Swoon...

Speaking of anime anouther anime with a good soundtrack is Metropolis.If you like the blues then you will really like the music in this movie.

For instrumental stuff:
The Goblin stuff, with a particular affinity for Suspiria.
Carpenter's self-composed scores.
Anything Ifukube, particularly the original '54 Godzilla, and Mechagodzilla's funky 70's groove theme.
For song-related stuff:
The only compilation soundtrack I own is for Bad Channels, and I only bought it for the song Manic Depresso by Sykotik Sinfony (they have another song on there that sounds a lot like Chuck Moseley-era Faith No More, but  the rest of the sountrack sucks aside from the two BOC tunes).
I, like Nick, tend to lean towards the metal side of things, so some other soundtracks that have a lot of good tunes are Freddy vs. Jason (lots of nu-metal crap too, but some good stuff in there), the new Texas Chainsaw, Underworld (not metal, but cool nonetheless), Faust: Love of the Damned, and the first Ginger Snaps (lots of Fear Factory tunes on that one).

Brother R

DEATH WISH II - THE best music Jimmy Page has made post-Zeppelin. With this he showed his true potential as a composer and never lived up to it afterward.

every tarrentino movie has a kick ass sound track. kill bills is my fave album at the moment

My top-5:

Conan the Barbarian (Basil Poledouris) (can't believe nobody said that yet)
Cutthroat Island (John Debney)
Under Fire (Jerry Goldsmith)
Cousteau: Amazon (John Scott)
Hook (John Williams)

Top horror movie soundtracks:

The Pit and the Pendulum (Richard Band)
Cannibal Holocaust (Riz Ortolani)
Runestone (David Newman)

"Ladyhawke"

I like The Crow, Daredevil, Hackers, Mortal Kombat, Cruel Intentions and many others. Which ones are the top 2?

Chariots of Fire and Dune.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Yor the Hunter From the Future?

Okay, guilty pleasure time....


The soundtrack to "Footloose"?  Frickin' AWESOME!


I also kind of like the "Top Gun" soundtrack.  Hopefully that doesn't make me a Kenny Loggins fan...

in that 80's classic movie theme, The Big Chill also had a good soundtrack.

oh yeah kriss i like that apart from the fact ur a c**t hahahaa, i cant believe u forgot to put the roach in, lol. i have got stoned everyday this week,. seeeeeewwwww!!!!!!!!!!

Some of my favorites are:

* AMERICAN GRAFFITI

* EASY RIDER

* VALLEY GIRL

* WOODSTOCK (hell, the entire MOVIE is one giant soundtrack)

While not an original soundtrack, Undercover Brother  has one heck of a collection of funk music.

Geez just when I think of a few more, they get mentioned.
The opening theme to Johnny English is damn catchy.

yeah i know what you mean. After this topic got mentioned I checked My CD collection for Movie Soundtracks,  and discovered 3 that I hadn't mentioned-
Gross Point Blank, Mallrats- The weezer song in it is awesome, plus the sound bites make it enjoyable. and last of all Run Lola Run.

I thought the soundtrack of "Crocodile Dundee" was cool. The aussie style of the music as original, compared to a lot of the stuff current at the time.

What the helll????
No Blues Brothers?????
COME ON, BRUTHAS!!!

Quadrophenia..I hope I spelled that right. I loved this movie. It had a young Sting in it. Music by The Who.

I did mention Blues Brothers OnionHead.Read the first post.

I mostly like song-related soundtracks:

Bullets Over Broadway  (great mix of 1920s originals and excellent remakes of songs of that era)

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas  (links between cuts are Johnny Depp reciting various Hunter Thompson-inspired reveries from the book/film)

O Brother Where Art Thou?  (just great folk stuff)

Cold Mountain (haven't even seen the film -- and don't plan on it -- but the music is fantastic -- Jack White of the White Stripes does 5 songs on it, all acoustic, some of'em traditional)

Just looked over my collection and realised I have upwards of 40 soundtracks in my collection.  That's more than I have DVD's!

I've found that The Coen Brothers and Tarantino soundtracks are consistantly good.  Out of them my favourites are: Oh Brother Where art thou and Jackie Brown.

I like David Arnolds stuff [does the recent Bond films]  Harry Gregson-Williams [The Rock] and have found Eric Serra's stuff to be interesting as well [Fifth Element, Goldeneye]

Personally, my favourite soundtracks out of the lot are: The Jackal, Ocean's 11 [New Version] Run Lola Run, Swordfish, The Animatrix, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Casino and Donnie Darko.

Long list, I know, but I love my movies, and my soundtracks!

How the hell did I forget to mention O, Brother Where Art Thou?  Great movie, great soundtrack.
