Braveheart

The Revenant

Blade Runner

The Shining

Alien

 

Paul Thomas Anderson and Jonathan Demme (RIP) used pop music in their movies perfectly.

Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Something Wild, Married to the Mob

 

Cal-Mark Knopfler
A Fistful Of Dollars-Morricone
The Last Of The Ski Bums-The Sandals
Just picked up Arabesque by Mancini this morning and listening right now...very good!
The Cider House Rules-Rachel Portman
The Secret Of Roan Inish-Mason Daring

All the favorites..Help,HDN,The Last Waltz

 

Rest In Peace Jonathan Demme director of Something Wild
Also director of Stop Making Sense and got Brian Eno to sing Wade in the Water on Married to the Mob sndtrck

 

One of my favorites would be The Last American Virgin soundtrack if only for "Teen Angel Eyes" - Tommy Tutone...IF anyone compiles a TT greatest hits disc I would hope that they would include that tune...

 

Almost Famous

 

Cool World
Spawn
Me, Myself and Irene (mostly for the "Only a Fool Would Say That" cover by Ivy)

 

Music from the film 'IF' , a masterstroke to use the 'Sanctus' from 'Missa Luba' and then use Parry's 'Jerusalem' in the final section of the movie.
but.......was there actually a soundtrack album released?
There was certainly a soundtrack release for 'Oh Lucky man' 'cos I own a copy ,and very wonderful it is too!

'Jazz on a Summers Day' one of the great musical documentaries , the music is wonderful and the cinematography is stunning but for me the audience shots
are the highlight .......beautifully dressed cool hipsters !

'High Society' great movie ,funny ,romantic,entertaining and a soundtrack for the ages ..................'now you has Mister Barret Deems........' Who wants to wallow in champagne?' ' Iiii dooont.'

'Elvis, the Comeback special' Elvis comes back to the real world and reclaims his throne as the King of Rock and Roll after years of making movies for the ladies and adds to his fan base by dressing in homoerotic leather gear that somehow snares us all into loving him ......we finally found out why our older brothers had bought those out take albums when Elvis was in the army.

 

I probably listen to this one the most:

 

Another favorite:


Also
Purple Rain
Oklahoma
Henry V

 

A Hard Days Night (US)
Help! (US)

 

Fried Green Tomatoes.

 

Saturday Night Fever
West Side Story
Goodfellas
Casino
A Bronx Tale
Forrest Gump
Evita (Don't think Madonna was that bad, Antonio Banderas did a great job as Che)

Classic scene and song from Goodfellas.

 

The Third Man

 

The Rocky IV is an excellent soundtrack!

 

As far as samplings of songs, I really like Goodfellas and Guardians of the Galaxy. For original scores I'll go with The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly, with Taxi Driver as an honorable mention.

 

The Wedding Singer
Blade Runner
Boogie Nights
Star Trek: The Motion Picture

 

Heavy Metal The Movie

 

Purely '60s for me: toss up; between early Bond (You Only Live Twice...because I like John Barry) or 2001. I just think the particular arrangement for a Classical work called THE BLUE DANUBE associated with the movie 2001, cut for the record by a German conductor named Karl Boehm, IS the BEST all-round recording of that piece...and it wasn't even the same performance used in the *actual* film(!).

 

Here's two that spring to mind from my long list.
The Summer of 42.
American Graffiti.
