I've got absolutely no problem with Back to the Future. "Flux capacitor" makes it into my vocabulary way too often... But to say it has one of the most memorable soundtracks.... ba ha ha! I mean, there's only so many times you can listen to "The Power of Love" before you want to beat yourself to death with a synthasizer...

ha ha ha

None. I mean, as far as one-hit-wonders go, they're up there I guess.


Does anybody else think that Snatch had a really great soundtrack?

?

the sad thing is, they had about 5-10 hits...not including ghostbusters

[Agamemnon]

I was referring to the instrumental score for Back to the Future... not the Power of Love. Get on the trolley.

[Ford Prefect]

Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid
O Brother
Eddie & The Cruisers
The Horse Whisperer
I Am Sam
Elizabethtown

I don't think I want to get on this trolley, the music sucks.

Hello?!?! McFly?!?!


John Williams.... classic
Andrew Lloyd Webber... stellar
Tim Rice... epic
Terrantino... unique
Elton John... Two words: Lion King... Dear Lord, I swear I wore out that cd when I was in grade 5.


Actually, I just watched United 93, and I thought the score was fantastic. Very appropriate.

I also really liked Garden State too.

The spooky music in Halloween gives me the creeps just thinking about it.

[loob job]

Garden State's got some good tunes on it, Coldplay, Frou Frou, etc. I thought it was a little shall we say unmanly when my g/f at the time bought it but after listening to it with her in the car and at home it turned out to be awesome, great tunes on it. When we broke up i ended up buying it on my own.

The soundtrack to my movie Friday was da bomb.

[Looger]

not a big rap fan but judgement night and demon night had some great soundtracks.

that's my cell phone ring right now. Stepped into the trees to a ... er ... um ... releive myself after a hockey game one night and the sucker goes off. Almost a ... er ... crapped myself

Platoon has a great score
the more recent Peter Pan movie (son has it)

my favourite all time though wasn't a movie, but a ernst and jullio wine commercial from the 80's with a Vangelis piece called Hymne.

[TheyCallMeBruce]

The goonies had both a great score and soundtrack.

Gremlins was another that had a memorable score, though it did ruin christmas for me because I thought they were real.

[CaptainCrunch]

The Imperial March from the Empire Strikes back, and the duel of the fates in Star Wars

Apocalypse Now had a great sound track, only over shadowed by Platoon.

I loved the music played during the last drive in Friday Night Lights.

The sound track to Heavy Metal was a who's who of hard rock

Oh and going to my signature. "I'm tired" from blazing saddles was classic as well

How can anyone forget South Park Bigger Longer and uncut, or I'm so rhonley from Team America World Police.

Ha! Careful there.

Platoon is on tv tonight. Along the same lines, Born on the 4th of July also has a good soundtrack and some original music by John Williams.

[Eastern Girl]

Lord of the Rings
The Rocky movies
Elizabethtown
Garden State
Jaws
Pretty in Pink
Titanic

[octothorp]

Soundtracks: Life Aquatic, Rushmore, High Fidelity, Stranger Than Fiction.
Original score: LA Confidential, Finding Forrester, Shawshank Redemption.

[troutman]

Soundtracks: Train Spotting, Magnolia, Lost In Translation, Singles, High Fidelity, Grosse Pointe Blank

[JiriHrdina]

One of the mod under-rated soundtracks is for The Last of the Mohicans. The score by Trevor Jones is a thing of beauty and builds the tension in the gut wrenching final 45 minutes of that film.

Clannad's "I Will Find You" is also included at precisely the right moment.

Other under-rated scores:
- Rainman, True Romance, King Arthur (all Hans Zimmer - one of the very best)
- A River Runs Through It
- Regarding Henry
- The Piano
- Planes Trains and Automobiles (not joking, the score is really perfect)

Under-rated Soundtracks
- Life Less Ordinary (crappy movie but features an great version of REM's "Leave".
- Singles
- Labrynth (David Bowie!)
- The Crossing Gaurd (features a very hard to find track from Bruce Springsteen in the closing credits)

That was a classic indeed. One of my all time favourite horror movies.

Blues Brothers

[Hakan]

Brokeback Mountain had a fantastic score. Beautiful music in that movie.
