Favourite soundtracks

[RMCF]

Just got to thinking about my favourite soundtracks CDs, as I was listening to Reservoir Dogs.

This is obviously the first - a great mix of music, and the dialogue really helps. Don't know how Tarantino picked out so many obscure songs and out them together to make a great album.

Magnolia - some great Aimee Mann songs, finished off with some classic Supertramp to lighten the mood.

Amadeus - just a great soundtrack CD and shows the pure genius of W.A.Mozart.

Gremlins 2 soundtrack is fantastic
Alien

Superman (the original John Williams score)
ET SACD excellent quality audio
Back to the future 2 original score, can't find the others
Indy 3 soundtrack, can't seem to find raiders or doom

Shawshank Redemption
Green Mile
Road to Perdition
or anything that Thomas Newman has done extremely atmospheric, emotional music

There are also some fantastic tracks on Peter Jacksons King Kong OST

I have thousands of favourites my list could go on

[Soundwave]

You need just one soundtrack in any music collection...

Transformers: The Movie

The original 1986 one none of this stupid Michael Bay rubbish

It has what is some of the best 80's music ever recorded
Fitted so well with the animation & had stirring rousing songs that send chills up my spine everytime I listen to it.

Absoulute Beginners as Gil Evans had a lot to do with it. The double LP contains more of his work than the CD.

I believe it's now available on itunes ?

The soundtrack to The Beach for me...has some killer tracks from Underworld, Leftfield & Faithless

Also love the Escape from New York soundtrack

[soundstory]

Just thought of Manhunter, excellent soundtrack, I didn't think it would ever come out, it hasn't but there are 4 tracks on

The Directors Cut:Music From the Films Of Michael Mann [Soundtrack].

It's a shame that the version of Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is edited but I guess that's a simple as having less tracks if they used the full version.

Oh & i also has the Del Shannon "Crime Story" version of Runaway
