soundtracks - one of the most underrated apsects of a movie. so what is everyone's favorite movie soundtrack?
I'm going with the fountain, requiem for a dream, juno, garden state (the frou frou song at the end is awesome), and Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait

[ALUmnus]

Uh, you left Top Gun off your list, but I'll forgive this transgression if you acknowledge your mistake.

One of my favorite soundtracks/scores in a movie is from Friday Night Lights. All the backing music was done by Explosions in the Sky (from Texas), and it just meshes perfectly with the Texas landscapes in that movie.

Are we going non-instrumental? Because they're 2 totally different discussions.

[adam42381]

Dazed and Confused, Singles, Pulp Fiction and Almost Famous.

I haven't wathced Top Gun in ages and never listened to just the soundtrack, so I couldn't put it on my list...

[blwall1416]

Curse of the Black Pearl, Transformers the Score 1 & 2, The Patriot, Rudy, Gettysburg, Braveheart, LOTR, Star Wars...

Actually, some video games have great soundtracks as well & are available on iTunes.

Medal of Honor: European Assault, MOH: Frontline, MOH: Underground, SOCOM, Age of Empires III

[GoUNCA]

Forrest Gump should be mentioned.

[PastorZack]

for you old hags, The Big Chill has a decent soundtrack.

[Sly Fox]

Following the same timeline as Zack, add in St. Elmos Fire and the Breakfast Club. Personally I leaned more toward Fast Times at Ridgemont High and the Lost Boys.

[LUconn]

Thank you sly, for giving me an excuse to call everyone's attention to the hilarious sax player.

the truman show has a pretty good soundtrack, at least for my tastes. Explosions in the sky is a great band, their stuff and the truman show are great to have in my ipod when im studying/reading.

[Lit Crit]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Amelie. Good call on the Garden State soundtrack as well.

[Cider Jim]

If Fumble were still around, I'm sure he'd make some joke about WVU fans loving the dueling banjos soundtrack from Deliverance.

[ALUmnus]

Saw "Push" this weekend, and was pretty impressed with its soundtrack.
