Prancer · 01-28-2002, 11:55 AM

A Room with A View - I can listen to that soundtrack anytime, any day. Its just so beautiful

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil - Great jazzy soundtrack

Empire Records - cool songs and good variety. I guess all soundtracks are like that.

Trainspotting - kicks arse!

palemoon22 · 01-29-2002, 12:05 PM

Fave soundtrack is a tie between The Sweet Hereafter and Mulholland Drive. If I had to pick a third it would be Playing By Heart.

Fave movie song is I want Someone Badly (First Love, Last Rites).

Fave Theme Mulholland Drive Love Theme/Diane and Camilla

Marq · 01-29-2002, 04:05 PM

Some of my fave soundtracks:

-Taxi Driver (score)
-Magnolia (Score and songs)
-all Kubrick films (score and songs)
-Blue Velvet (score and songs)
-Mulholland Dr. (score and songs)
-Boogie Nights (songs)

SolidSnakeASS · 01-29-2002, 11:50 PM

- Rushmore and Royal Tenenbuams
- Boogie Nights and Magnolia (score and songs)
- Requiem For A Dream (this one is really damn good)
- Tarantino films
- Talking Heads Stop Making Sense
- Grosse Pointe Blanke
- Ed Wood Score
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off (chicka chicka doop doop, oh yeah)

Looking forward to: Solondz's Storytellers has a score of songs written and performed by Belle & Sebastian.

Marty McFly · 01-30-2002, 12:14 AM

Ghostbusters
Back to the Future
Beetlejuice
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear
Saturday Night Fever

Lord Crumb · 01-30-2002, 01:47 AM

HANNIBAL
GLADIATOR (and anything else by Zimmer)
JACOB'S LADDER

Mr. McMinn · 01-30-2002, 02:02 AM

Stephen King's the Stand
Needful Things
Oliver and Company,

The 3 above are great, but as far as songs themselves go, it would have to be "Pet Sematary" by the Ramones!

BeanBandit · 01-30-2002, 02:30 AM

Three favorite movie albums are:
1. Magnolia
2. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
3. Trainspotting

But my favorite theme song from a movie would have to be...
MORTAL KOMBAT!!!! :rar:

DrDetroit · 01-30-2002, 06:28 AM

Favourite song selection soundtracks: The Last Waltz, A Clockwork Orange (though I'm partial to the newer Wendy Carlos rebuffed version, it doesn't have "I wanna marry a lighthouse keeper"), Rushmore, Easy Rider, and Shoot the Piano Player.

Favourite themes: Vertigo, Psycho, Taxi Driver (big Herrmann fan), Close Encounters.

Favourite song usage in a movie: "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream in GoodFellas. An obvious choice, but it's just a perfect moment. Scorsese is real good at that type of stuff.

loner · 02-03-2002, 06:17 PM

1. Bladerunner
2. Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
3. Pi
4. The Fog ;p

LMAO

That actually used to be my favorite movie theme back when I was in 4th grade or so (or however old I was when that movie came out).
...ah, memories.
----------------
My favorite film scores and themes/soundtracks and whatnot at this given point in time, in order of what comes to mind, are probably:
Rushmore
Magnolia
Superman (or most anything else by John Williams)
Requiem for a Dream
Unbreakable
Vanilla Sky
BeetleJuice
Edward Scissorhands
Opera
Suspiria
Back to the Future
Lord of the Rings
Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Are the only ones that come to mind at the moment, but of course, there are dozens and dozens more.

George McFly · 02-03-2002, 11:51 PM

Back to the Futurestill has the best song even ,say it with me17 YEARS LATER

Rouge 2 · 02-04-2002, 04:03 AM

Score:

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK; no Star Wars score comes close, I can't believe it lost the oscar to Fame!

Star Trek 2; no Star Trek score comes close, I can't believe Paramount is too cheap to get Horner back on Trek!

Song: Goldfinger and Thunderball

loner · 02-04-2002, 02:26 PM

As far as scores go, Bernard Hermann's work for "Psycho" and "Vertigo" are just tops.

I really love the main theme to "Mononoke Hime"! Good stuff! ^_^

Thanx,
Brook

Marq · 02-06-2002, 08:32 PM

Batnight,
good list. With regards to JOHN CARPENTER, his score to Assault on Precint 13 is amazing! Try and give it a listen, and the movie a viewing if haven't already.

Chunkblower · 02-06-2002, 08:40 PM

My favorite soundtrack is Requiem for a Dream. The theme music ("Summer Overture") is so haunting... Clint Mansell is God.

loner · 02-06-2002, 09:02 PM

This is wicked! I didn't realize there were so many Carpenter fans.

interfxrence · 02-08-2002, 01:48 AM

score: Requiem For A Dream, Clint Mansell and Kronos Quartet. been a fan of both as well, so i was quite excited about the collaboration -- and after hearing it -- with good reason!

Vonner · 02-08-2002, 02:20 AM

Best Soundtrack... LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring

Best Theme... Indiana Jones

Best Song... Highway to the Danger Zone (Top Gun)

Agree? Disagree?

***chlngr1970*** · 02-08-2002, 06:41 AM
