Favourite Soundtrack

[Langdale Wolf]

I do enjoy a decent soundtrack - from awesome compilations such as Pulp Fiction, Lock Stock, Kill Bill, Trainspotting etc to a score like Lord of the Rings, through to classics like Quadrophenia, I've got way too many. There are some belters.

What are your favourite soundtracks?

[M a r k]

Sunshine is very good, although mainly a score rather than a soundtrack.

500 Days of Summer is canny, although the film looks a bit meh.

Favourite is probably Lost in Translation.

As much as that film can grate on my nerves at the end, the music from it is terrific.

[Radar]

Great call!! I love the 'Everyone Has AIDS' song. Classy stuff!

[Langdale Wolf]

I was more impressed by "Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you" - I laugh like an infant every time I hear it!

[Radar]

Oh yes!!!

"I miss you like Michael Bay missed the mark when he made Pearl Harbour...."

[Langdale Wolf]

"I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school

He was terrible in that film...

I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part

He's way better than Ben Affleck..."

Just f**king brilliant!!!

*on floor*

[Radar]

I too tend to laugh uncontrollably at that song. The wife thinks I'm odd. She probably has a point. The only part of that film she cracked a smile at was the bit with the cats.

[Cardboard Box City]

You breaking my balls Hans!
