Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the movie "Once" is amazing, and has an amazing soundtrack to go along with it.

"Now You're a Man" from Orgazmo.

Seconded! Especially at the end when Tuco is running thru the graveyard, and it just keeps building and building until your head EXPLODES!

I used to have the soundtrack on tape. Have to find it around here somewhere...

EDIT - ooh, I'm not alone! "Ecstasy of Gold" ftw!

I really liked the soundtrack for Kill Bill vol. 1, specially all the original music from RZA

High Fidelity has a really good soundtrack...specially Who Loves The Sun by the Velvet Underground, always makes me chuckle at that point in the movie.

Goodfellas has got to be my favorite soundtrack. Besides being a great film I think Scosese's music selection for key scenes is almost masterful.

vanilla sky

v for vendetta

[Eastern Girl]

Magic man by Heart, from the Virgin Suicides - One of my absolute favourite songs, sdtk or not.

Porpoise Song by (one of my faves) The Monkees, from Vanilla Sky.

From the Romeo and Juliet Sdtk - Butthole Surfers - Whatever (I had a Dream), Des'ree - Kissing You, and Garbage - #1 Crush.

From the Daredevil Sdtk - The Calling - For You

From the Juno Sdtk - Moldy Peaches - Anyone Else but you

[pope04]

Loved the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack, all of it. But that's just me.

[Eastern Girl]

And because Van Morrison is my absolute favourite...

I'll be your Lover and Sweet Thing from the Moonlight Mile Sdtk. Into the Mystic from the American Wedding sdtk.

[ResAlien]

Already one of my favourite bands, but "I'm shipping up to Boston" Dropkick Murphys in the movie The Departed.

edit: Apparently I'm not bright enough to embed a video. Stupid interweb.

This song got me fired up for this movie. Which, btw, rivals Goodfellas for Scorcese's best film.

I totally agree with you on this!
The Rocky Soundtrack has to be the best of all time!

Do You Want To Play by Extreme from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

Wise call, it's amazing how well that song fits with that scene.

Personally I like the Singles soundtrack. My favorites:

Paul Westerberg: Dyslexic Heart
Pearl Jam: State of Love and Trust
Mother Love Bone: Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns

[doozwimp]

The exit music on the '96 Romeo + Juliet gave me chills when first I saw it. (I dont think its on the soundtrack though)

I dont think more perfect exit music exists. I also happen to be a huge radiohead fan.

[Iowa_Flames_Fan]

It's hard to choose--there are so many great soundtracks. But I'm a fan of "Let Go" by Frou Frou from the Garden State soundtrack (one of a number of great songs from that movie).

I also liked the soundrack to the movie "Rushmore" quite a bit, particularly the Kinks' "Nothing in this World can Stop Me Worrying About that Girl."

[flylock shox]

Whenever I run across rooftops at night, I like the NIN version of Dead Souls from The Crow.

Garden State had a very good soundtrack as did Romeo & Juliette (although the movie wasn't so good).

If I had to chose one I'd pick Talk Show Host by Radiohead



Also worth a mention is System of a Down's cover of Metro (originally by Berlin) on the Dracula 2000 soundtrack:

[Mango]

From the Breakfast Club:
Simple Mind - Don't You Forget About Me

Also, I love the Sound of Music, so anything from that movie puts a huge smile on my face

[JiriHrdina]

In terms of overall soundtracks Last of the Mohicans can't be beat. Just a great score by Trevor Jones and also has a haunting song by Clanaad.

I also like the scores in Rain Man and True Romance - both done by Hans Zimmer.
