Favourite Soundtrack

[Langdale Wolf]

Women don't seem to "get" that film, it's a shame. They always seem to want to be too "mature" about it. It really is a perfect example of the gender divide.

Personally, when I moved to London that film was current, so when someone mentioned the "Harrow" Road, I found it hilarious...

[Radar]

Women don't seem to find Airplane or the Naked Gun films as funny as men either, I've found.

Strange beings.

[Langdale Wolf]

"Nice beaver...."

"Thanks, I just had it stuffed...."

[ralph250]

probs pulp fiction as my favourite.....

other honourable mentions to desperado and from dusk til dawn....and film adaptations of musicals or music based films; ie. rocky horror, little shop of horrors, blues brothers, commitments etc.

....also the music of thomas newman; might be a bit of a girly film but whisper of a thrill from meet joe black is stunning.

The Crow

Trainspotting - Great 90s sountrack with some of the best bands of the time.

Pulp Fiction - Great mix of music and some cracking dialouge from the movie

Virgin Suicides - Really sets the scene and has some of my favourite AIR tunes on it.

[sifi]

Easy Rider, by a country mile. If you want to a bird, The Pusher, The Weight - all classics.

[worm]

I'm surprised you didn't list The Crow as well and Lost Highway.

Oh and Quake

[brighteyes]

What the piss, I forgot John Carpenter. Assault On Precinct 13, Ghosts Of Mars etc

[Wooderson]

Star Wars

[Wooderson]

Fave soundtack moments:

Usual suspects:

Beacons.

Binary Sunset.

[Purple Monkey]

So, erm, what about actual movie scores? Everyone just seems to be about what pop music gets played (or not played at all) in a movie, rather than an original score someone has dreamt up for the movie as music, which I find infinitely more interesting

Tangerine Dream must be in the running for most film scores with over sixty I remember getting sorcerer on tape many years ago.

but for a soundtrack featuring various artists this is a classic
