Film Soundtracks

Any favourites?

I think 'The Grande Finale' from Edward Scissorhands is one of the greatest climaxes in cinema music history, i love it. It makes my eyes water listening to it haha (i'm listening to it now) so yeah sorry i love it, i'll send it to anyone if you like.

What are your favourite film soundtracks/songs?

 

cinema paradiso and a walk in the clouds
both soundtracks are beutiful
and the lord of the rings soundtrack of course

 

love walk in the clouds both for the music and the cinematography.

another gorgeous soundtrack would have to be dances with wolves.

and then of course disney . little mermaid/lion king/aladdin/beauty and the beast (I guess even hercules though I'm not a huge fan of the gospel music and hence it's one of the few disney soundtracks I don't have). but my favorite of the disney's has to be hunchback. it's almost one majestic symphony .

two other soundtracks I love also - les miserable and miss saigon .

 

I like the twin Peaks soundtracks and I once heard the spooky Eraserhead Sndtk. on the radio and it was interesting...not really beautiful in a traditional sense though.


Oh yeah...also the movie Four Rooms... which has a quirky soundtrack by Combustible Edison...a personal fav band of mine!

 

LOTR because the making of was just phenomenal

shore?

 

2001: A space odyssey. The Blue Danube suits the imagery very well and I also love the Also sprach Zarathustra piece, very climatic. I also still love the soundtrack of Jesus Christ superstar, but yeah, that's not a classical one.

 

Silvestre Revueltas - Sensemayá, from the film Sin City.

 

Any Miyazaki movie, really... I'm especially fond of Spirited Away right now. My Neighbour Totoro is good fun too. And Princess Mononoke of course.
The Fifth Element
Fried Green Tomatoes
Donnie Darko
Memoirs of a Geisha (at least the soundtrack was good)
2001: a Space Odyssey, despite lots of it being unoriginal music.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
I remember Blade Runner being good.
Lost in Translationm

lots of others that don't jump to mind...

 

Amelie
Cidade de Deus
Wayne's world

 

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind has an incredible score by Jon Brion.

 

YES i completely agree =) and all star wars soundtracks, I know it is really lame, I dont know any of the names of the songs now, but we used to listen to em in the car. my son LOVES them

 

Scrapple has a very groovy soundtrack

 

angelo badalamenti:twin peaks(serie) and fire walk with me(twin peaks movie)

 

my top 2 are Marie Antoinette and Donnie Darko. i have the 2 disc version of Donnie Darko Disc 1 - Soundtrack Disc 2 - Score. simple put, amazing music. oh and i adore The Virgin Suicides Soundtrack.
omg this is under Classical, i hadn't noticed. well for good measure my top 2 both have somewhat classical sounding songs on them.

 

"Time of the gypsies"
music by Goran Bregovic

 

I've always like "Hair". was broadway and a movie, the soundtrack is movie. I'm ashamed no one suggested it yet
the 'red violin' maybe, with joshua bell
'fallin' from grace', john cougar & others

 

The Village - James Newton Howard

 

Requiem for a dream has a wicked soundtrack too and how could I have forgotten SCARFACE!
