Best ever movie soundtracks?

mgvsmith · 30-12-2012, 01:22

I agree with John Murphy for 28 Days Later and
Sunshine.

Ennio Morricone offers master classes though.
I always liked For a Few Dollars More and the 'Chimes' theme

And Carpenter's Halloween theme is perfect.

JasonWatkins · 30-12-2012, 01:27

I'm fully prepared for some stick, but one of the best soundtracks i've heard is from Josie and the Pussycats. For a pure pop album, it's absolutely fantastic.

3 Small Words
Come On
Real Wild Child

Michael Nyman - Drowning By Numbers

He and Peter Greenaway were a match made in heaven imo so pretty much any of his scores could apply.

Jon Brion - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Bernard Hermann - Taxi Driver
Angelo Badalamenti - Twin Peaks
The Wicker Man soundtrack

Flash Gordon( I know! Lol! ) excellent music provided by Queen.

Thanks for the links. Some of these themes are great.

I really like the soundtracks to Inception and Walk The Line.

No, you're not wrong on that one! While the bulk of it is their trademark campy rawk, there are a couple of tracks way ahead of their time - the second track (after the main theme) is incredibly similar to Vangelis' Blade Runner opening titles - and Queen's soundtrack was in 1980!

Old.Tallen · 31-12-2012, 20:29
