first kill bill

the departed

mean creek

over the edge

probably a lot more i can't think of.

[mizanation]

hey superdupersang,

ghostdog (and forrest whitaker) is definitely a very underrated movie. big ups for this thread, the movie and the soundtrack.

[keagan]

definitely the trainspotting.

Number 2 is just as good.

[superdupersang]

Ray Charles : Ray (Original Soundtrack)

[mizanation]

can i suggest the rocky soundtrack? i have a best of cd with the best (and worst) songs from rocky I to 5.

good fuckin' stuff. makes me want to slug somebody.

[polishmike]

the cook the thief his wife and her lover - peter greenaway

soundtrack by michael nyman

Definitely. He also did good soundtracks for Gattaca, Jestem and of course The Piano. Great composer.

[superdupersang]

born slippy is an anthem

[mellowfellow]

In the mood for love

2046

[ghostdeini]

I agree with the trainspotting choice, but this is my favorite soundtrack (to date):

[denimdestroyedmylife]

rosemary's baby-----soundtrack by krystof komeda

bladerunner------vangelis

aguirre wrath of god-------popul vuh

[snugglepony]

In the mood for love

2046

oh man - i can't believe i forgot this... such an absolutely beatiful soundtrack.

[poly800rock]

y'all fucking crazy.

the best paul westerberg/replacements songs

[NESK]

enter the dragon

requeium for a dream (makes the movie infinitely better)

fear of a black hat

and ghost dog.

down by law had great music but i havnt seen the OST.

[englandmj7]

Sofia Coppola's soundtracks are fucking great.

[masuerte]

I agree, this should be a favorite Director soundtracks. I like Wes Anderson's movie soundtracks as well as Wong Kar Wai. French new wave soundtracks are pretty neat, I've liked alot of (of course) Godard's movies which're littered with neat jazzy sound (much like in Wong Kar Wai's movies).

I wonder what kind of music Shakespeare would be coming out with if he were living in this day and age... he seemed to me like the Quentin Tarrantino of his era.

+++ for the qatsi's

i saw/met phillip glass at his birthday concert last night, a fucking mazing

but my 2 favorite movie soundtracks

[Mbrand]

Blade Runner - Vangelis

2001 a space odysey - Various

Code 46 - The Free Association

The Last Great Wilderness - The Pastels

Breaking & Entering - Underworld

Ghost Dog - RZA

Akira - Geinoh Yamashirogumi

edit : Virgin suicides by Air

Next : Sunshine - Underworld

[docnbhd]

Fight Club OST with music by the Dust Brothers is really cool... The recent "Fountain" with Mogwai is pretty good as well.

[mwrenchd]

I'm more partial to scores as opposed to soundtracks, which are often compilation releases of songs in their original & full form, not how they appeared in the film. Or in some cases, i.e. Kill Bill, didn't appear in the film at all.

Anyway, for scores, just about anything by Ennio Morricone.

Standouts being,

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

Bulworth (original score, not the soundtrack)

The Big Gundown

FYI, I believe he's up for a lifetime achievement award at the Oscars on Sunday.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

abominable dr phibes-----basil kirchin

[Kasper]

y'all fucking crazy.

the best paul westerberg/replacements songs

second that, that soundtrack is so awesome, State of Love and Thrust is my favorite pearl Jam song

you're all forgetting something though...

probably the one and only instance of good hip-hop / rock combination

completely forgot about the judgement night soundtrack. this really did unfortunately start rap-core huh? great pair ups though.

singles also had smashing pumpkins drown, state of love and trust, alice in chains, etc. this was the definitive "grunge" soundtrack

[NESK]
