Which soundtracks?

The Long Riders - Ry Cooder
The Big Easy - sexy film, sexy soundtrack Lots of New Orleans/cajun stuff
Ghost Dog: Way of the Samuri: RZA

Would be my vote to.

BUT:

Moricones music to "My Name Is Nobody", particulary the stupid thing one hears everytime Terence Hill appears, is probably the worst ever made. I can't even see more than 15 minutes of it, the whole movie is destroyed by it.

How about The Thomas Crown Affair (mk2)?

I'm with AG on his suggestion - swordfish...

andy c!

Not a soundtrack as such, but John Zorn's The Big Gundown: John Zorn plays the Music of Ennio Morricone is genius.

My Faves

The good the bad and the Ugly

Paris Texas

Trainspotting

Dead Man

Wild at Heart

Easy Rider

A Zed and two noughts

Apocalpse Now

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, in 180g vinyl, truly scrumptious gets me every time

Simon

If the brain were simple enough for us to understand, we would be too simple to understand it

Nick

Yes. The OST is a fine thing with lots of
"Interesting textures"

(tm Doug Graham - pat pending)

Some interesting soundtracks from the past decade then, I see.

Now, does anyone have the City of God soundtrack (or 2 remixes)? I borrowed remix 1 and it had a unique soul-funk-samba-chill groove (not really my thing). My guess is Thievery Corp fans would enjoy it.

Surprised to have not seen the Knopfler soundtracks (Local Hero, Princess Bride) mentioned yet.

Agree wholeheartedly with High Fidelity.

Susprised to see the ommision of The Bridges of Madison County. The Johhny Hartman songs were so important to the relationship that their lyrics were subtitled in Spain.

Cheers.

I was gutted by this - it seems to be 3 tracks remixed umpteen times; moments of greatness but not great in itself - the movie is superb though. Mmmm - Franka Potente - now THAT'S someone who's "Truly scrumptuous"...

Seriously - IS Chitty available on audiophool vinyl? Tempting (for real). I own Mary Poppins on (poor condition) stereo and (decent condition) mono - very heavy original 60s vinyl.

My favourites:
Reservoir Dogs (a rip-off for only 28 minuts though!)
Jackie Brown
Pulp Fiction (what's it with Tarentino and GREAT soundtracks!?)
Blues Brothers (sorry!)
Easy Rider (on very heavy vinyl and very cheap)
Pretty Woman (cheese, but listenable)
Shopping (loads good stuff from Senser through to Sabres of paradise!)
Loved Up (pure quality early 90s dance)
Enter the dragon
Muppet show volumes 1 and 2 (Mahna Mahna/It's not easy being green etc etc!; vol 2 has a cool locked runout groove as well...)

Nobody's mentioned Independence Day yet - terrible film, great soundtrack, with the horn section in particular giving it some stick

ah.. I forgot about this one.
talk about corn and cheese.

re: Run Lola Run .

Yeah. I agree that the whole CD can be repetitive.
But, I do like few tracks on it.

Re: Pulp Fiction
Altho, it has few groovy tunes in it, ( it comes in vinyl, too ), its ST is outdone by his brilliant script. Almost every single line is a gem.

"The King of Comedy" has a very good mix of music.

Not recent, but Bernard Hermann's score for 'Vertigo' is haunting. I have it on CD and vinyl.

Did someone mention Grosse Pointe Blank yet?

Dan

Last of the mohicans

Stanley Clarke at the movies

City of angels

A night at roxbury /great disco music/

The Italian Job:-

Just bought the new version of the new film. Brilliant!!

I'm very surprised that there was not one mention of Peter Gabriel's Passion, soundtrack to (I think it was The Pasion of Christ) although I'm a little mixed up nwo with that Mel Gibson movie out now. Regardless an excellent soundtrack of original music.

I'll second "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and add the following:

Singles
Snatch

On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

I have a box set of tapes of Nyman's soundtracks for Greenaway which would be a lot more interesting if I still had a tape deck.

How about, "About a Boy"? Although it was written expressly for the movie, it's really another album from Damon Gough, a.k.a. "Badly Drawn Boy".

How about The Wonder Boys?
