Anyone seen the The Cooler? the opening and closing track especially is amazing, Mark Isham i think.
The Insider has good tracks throughout aswel.
Roger Daltry included some classics for McVicar.
Surprised no one has mentioned Crazy Heart, loved every single song in that film.0 -
That's at least four separate Morricone films listed. Does anyone else come close?0
-
Thankyou Leroy Ambrose: Lady in the Water is my favourite soundtrack and a very good film too!
The build up to the climax has the hairs standing up on the back of my neck every time.
James Newton Howard one of the best!
Followed by:
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (which I'm going to see played live in the Opera House next year)
A Beautiful Mind
Transformers (particularly the main theme)
There was an episode of Cold Case that had only Bruce Springsteen songs in it, that was pretty good too.0 -
I have - you're right, it is a great soundtrack. I prefer Romeo Is Bleeding though - now that is a work of beauty - a brilliant film, brilliantly acted and the soundtrack is perfect[cite]Posted By: Lost Red[/cite]Anyone seen the The Cooler? the opening and closing track especially is amazing, Mark Isham i think.0 -
The Exorcist. Tubular Bells has withstood the test of time. 37 years ago it made me have goose bumps and still does today.0
-
A Hard Day's Night
Bird
Lady sings the Blues
Great Balls of Fire
Get Carter (particularly the opening 'train' theme)0 -
28 Days Later

Pulp Fiction
John Murphy and Danny Boyle seem to work well together1 -
The Long Good Friday.0
-
The Italian Job.
It seems hard to believe that, Getta Bloomin' Move On! (Self Preservation Society), was written by Quincey Jones. Coincidentally, Quincy was born on the same day as Michael Caine.0 -
The Matrix hasn't been mentioned yet, lots of great songs from the turn of the millennium alternative scene.
Transformers (8bit electronica) , Forest Gump (60s) & 24 hour party people (Madchester) are also fantastic.0 -

One that hasn't been mentioned yet...
Moon - the recent film by David Bowie's son Duncan Jones.
Beautiful soundtrack.0 -
Shaft
Across 110th Street
Jackie Brown
Beat Street
Thomas Crown Affair0 -
thought i'd resurrect this thread.
1. The Good, The Bad And The Ugly - probably the finest achievement in filmmaking let alone the soundtrack
2. 2001: A space oddessy - unconventional but the fact there's ALWAYS some noise going on, whether that's Dave's breathing or the booping of his space pod to the epic jump cut.
3. Pulp Fiction - Tarantino can pick a soundtrack
I'll also nominate 2 non film soundtracks:
Red dead redemption - nothing will beat the goosebumps i got wandering into the mexican desert whilst jose gonzales' guitar danced hauntingly through the speakers of my tv
The Sopranos - some incredible choices, i believe its season 6 episode 3 at the very end with mr finnity looking out of that hotel window towards that lighthouse this moby song plays. Incredibly emotional.
