Favorite Movie Soundtrack Albums

[Zomby Woof]

"O Brother Where Are Thou?" is a fine collection of classic country, bluegrass, gospel, folk, and blues - with original old-time recordings paired with contemporary, yet faithful covers.

[carlyhippy]

1. Heres mine

[Richardo]

3. O Brother Where Art Thou? - Thread over.

Best soundtrack of all time.

[begin_within]

10. this is my favorite song on it:

[Zomby Woof]

12. Chris Thomas King

He is a helluva talent.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

2. Without any doubt,

"The Moderns," which is also a wonderful flick.

[Robeson]

4. Dr. Zhivago...

...

[Zomby Woof]

7. I enjoy that one too

My favorite Jarre soundtrack is "Lawrence Of Arabia". Lean and Jarre beat Spielberg and Williams any day!

[Tom Kitten]

5. 2001

exposed me to Ligeti, not to mention Also Sprach Zarathrustra...but there are so many more....

[Brigid]

6. This is the first one that came to mind.

when I read the thread title. I still put it in the CD player now and then (and, of course, the movie on DVD). :)

[Zomby Woof]

9. Dan Tyminski, Ralph Stanley

Alison Krauss, and on and on...

Hauntingly beautiful, strikingly real, joyous, mournful, and soulful beyond description.

[flying rabbit]

8. Blade runner n/t

[cemaphonic]

11. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The soundtrack for that movie is practically its own character.

I am fond of O Brother too though. Definitely on my shortlist.

[Zomby Woof]

14. That's iconic!

My nephew promotes a local band that does old country covers which offer heavy doses of Morricone in the mix - it's not quite "Good, Bad..." meeting "O Brother...", but I should float that idea by him. Great choice!

[begin_within]

13. I would have to go with "Magical Mystery Tour"

which is jam-packed with great songs, some of them which could have (and might well have) gone on to the "Sgt. Pepper" album, like "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "I Am the Walrus." Strangely, "Magical Mystery Tour" was not included in the boxed set of LPs I bought about 20 years ago, but I bought it separately - some of the Beatles' best songs are on it.

[GOPisEvil]

15. "The Last of the Mohicans"

:)

[Zomby Woof]

16. I am not familiar with that one

In fact, who the hell are you to hijack this thread? :wtf:

[GOPisEvil]

18. Just some asshole.

:)

The soundtrack is symphonic, but it really complements the movie quite well.

[Zomby Woof]

19. Which reminds me...

The other day, we were watching "Dances With Wolves" on HDNM (and trying not to laugh at Costner's mullet or Mary McDonnell's feathery, poofy late 80's hair), and in one scene, where Costner is meeting with the Sioux for the first time, "I'm So Excited" breaks out. Sounded like it was in the movie!

So we were wondering what the hell...?

Turns out my foot on the coffee table kicked open one of Nini's musical birthday cards. :rofl:


:crazy:

[GOPisEvil]

20. a-hahahaha!!!

That's wonderful! :rofl:

[charlie and algernon]

17. Dragonheart

and I second "Last of the Mohicans"

[crim son]

21. "The Mission"

The soundtrack is beautifu*.

23. Singles

the movie sucked, but the album is a great sampler of the golden age of early 90s alternative rock

[Zomby Woof]

34. That is a good soundtrack

I recently downloaded my favorite cuts from it to my iPod. I lived in Seattle back then, when both the city and its music were the center of the known universe, lol.

27. Times Square and Streets of Fire

Neither movie is very good, but the soundtracks are terrific. Also, Friends by Elton John and That Summer, although I've never seen either movie.

[Graybeard]

28. King Kong - (1933)

Max Steiner hit a grand slam home run out of the park with this score. King Kong has been called a great concert with a movie attached. The love theme (Sea at Night) is as hauntingly beautiful as Bernard Herrmann's music for "Vertigo".

[nuxvomica]

29. "O Brother" is my favorite but second is "Dances with Wolves"

John Dunbar theme
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJW7WPhKPsg
