Top Gun - Loved this at the time. And I loved the pic of Kelly McGillis on the cover. But mainly shit music to listen to now.
The Lost Boys - Great sound track. Haven't listened to in a while but I know it's still good.

'Take My Breath Away' is still a top tune though.
The ending of The Matrix (part 1) turned me on to Rage Against the Machine. Also liked the soundtrack to the Blues Brothers (the original, not that piece of rubbish they came up with to capitalise on it's success).
^^you need help:)
Just for you,
YouTube - Berlin - Take my breath away - Top Gun
Tarantino is good for decent soundtracks.
Rage against the Machine's first album was fantastic. Another good album cover too.
The Pulp Fiction soundtrack was good, better than Reservoir Dogs if I remember rightly.
Romper Stomper
The Devil's Rejects - absolutely fantastic soundtrack. Fitted the movie perfectly.

To The Shock Of Miss Louise (The sinister fairground music at the end of The Lost Boys soundtrack) is the only track that was made for the movie. It's my favorite track though the Echo & the Bunnymen rendition of People Are Strange is very good and I prefer it to the original, it's about time somebody beat the Doors at their own game.Quote:

Personal recommendations are O Brother Where Art Thou, Natural Born Killers, Goodfellas and The Simpsons.
"Ghosts of Mars" has a great recurring theme by Anthrax.
"Blow-up" is a classic with a live-performance of the Yardbirds.
Natural Born Killers had a great soundtrack, as did Risky Business
Other, more original scores- Midnight Express, Bilitis, The Mission
Blow - great soundtrack with 70s tunes that I'd never heard before (yeah, I'm that young)
lock stock and 2 smoking barrels- ok film but outstanding sound track, including police and thieves and 18 with a bullet
harder they come- jimmy cliff
24 hour party people- janie jones by the clash, voodoo ray by guy called gerals, loads of new order, joy division and happy mondays etc.
Once Upon a Time in Mexico is my favourite.
Blade Runner,
The John Carpenter film sounds track of Halloween I think. Maybe The Thing too?
^ some more for the great films thread.
Educating Rita.
The Departed - Love Van the Man doing Comfortably Numb.
One of my favourite soundtracksQuote:

I also remember that Requiem for a dream has a somewhat haunting soundtrack, don't know what it was though.
The Godfather I suppose because it is so memorable, though not particularly one of my favourite tunes. In part 3 the opera is Cavaleria Rusticana which has just reminded my to add Raging Bull.
A more recent film with a good soundtrack is Control, but that is pretty much just Joy Division tunes.
Chariots of Fire
Ray
The Big Chill
Amadeus
I had Goodfellas too and it did start well. I have that raging bull classical piece here somewhere. Aways reminds me of the film.
I've got tons of classical music here and loads come from films I know, but I cannot name any of the pieces.
I always keep thinking the Clair De Lune is from a Woody Allen film, but I know it's not because I checked.
Once Upon a Time in America had a nice track too.
Quite a strange one because they got Ennio Morricone (who normally did Westerns) to score a gangster movie, but quite good.Quote:

Sergio Leone directed Once Upon a Time in America, Once Upon a Time in the West and several other well known films.
However Ennio Morricone scored the movies, not Leone.
