I was just wondering what everyone's opinion of the "Best" movie soundtrack released to date is.
Personally, I would have to say the soundtrack from the movie "Singles." I mean, it's got Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, and of course Pearl Jam.
Comments
Run Lola Run
The Matrix soundtrack is pretty chill.. I wish Rob Zombie wasn't on there tho, it ruins the feel for me..
(not sure if u'll get that one vargus)
I don't know what the best of all time would be, though. I'm not partial to orchestral bombast, which rules out a lot of them.
wondering what the movie is..?
8 Mile of course, which is released this autumn.
The Eminem Show is the unofficial movie soundtrack cause the album contains all the songs which r featured in the movie - the movie itself will contain a few remixes and extra's which r gonna be released on an official soundtrack around the movie release date
pulp fiction
rushmore
trainspoting

<strong>How can anyone leave off Top Gun? Possibly the best CD ever. (that or one of the original Star Wars)</strong><hr></blockquote>
probably because it was as cheesy as the movie was. did not hold up to time all that well.
starwars was cool though. took the movie sountrack to a new level.

My favorite film soundtracks would be "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?" and "Natural Born Killers."
My favorite film scores are "Requiem for a Dream" and "Kundun." I usually hate Philip Glass's works, but in a movie context they're pretty good.
not that i give a rats ass about the numbers, but one last thing you may want to consider. top gun came out around 1985 (to lazy to actually look). the movies i brought up came out in the early 90s in the case of pulp fiction and trainspoting. rushmore came out in 2000 (i think, again to lazy to check). the possibility that more than one of these movie soundtracks will catch up or pass top gun in total sales is more than likely.
Also, as far as great songs adding to a great story, I'd have to say my second choice is the "Goodfellas" soundtrack!
When I watch the movie now, I anticipate some of the songs. Goes hand-in-hand with some of the great scenes and shots (the cool "Layla" tag playing while showing the results of all the guys in the crew having been whacked by Conway/DeNiro, "Mr. Speedo" during Liotta's first introduction to DeNiro, "Sunshine of Your Love" when the camera zooms in on DeNiro contemplating whacking Morry the wig guy, "Then He Kissed Me" during that kick-ass uncut tracking shot when Henry and Karen are entering that club through the backdoor/kitchen, etc.
The music in Requiem for A Dream is excellent.
I really like the soundtrack to a German movie called Bandits. The movie is about an all girl rock band that forms in prison and breaks out and rocks. The songs are actually really good. A couple of others that are really good are the soundtrack to Velvet Goldmine, Air's soundtrack for The Virgin Suicides and Saint Etienne's soundtrack for The Misacventures of Margaret. Of cours my all time favorite soundtrack and movie is Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
