What are your 4 favorite film soundtracks?

Mine (not including the Beatle films) are:

Almost Famous
Lassie (1994)
Mad Men (not a movie but still has greats songs in it)
Guardians of the Galaxy.

 

Conan the Barbarian (Basil Poledouris)
Once Upon a Time in the West (Ennio Morricone)
The Thin Red Line (Hans Zimmer)

It's hard to come up with a fourth on par w/ those, but what about
The Order (David Torn, a guitarist did this, and this dude coaxes sounds out of his guitar and gear that is unreal) (the movie is only so so) Check out youtube videos on Torn)

 

Into the Wild / by Eddie Vedder (one of my favorite albums period)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Grease

And anything by Cameron Crowe:
Singles, Almost Famous, Vanilla Sky, Elizabethtown, Jerry Maguire...

I like this topic, so I asked my husband for his picks. Here they are:

1. Heavy Metal
2. Tron: Legacy (an excellent Daft Punk album!)
3. The Breakfast Club
4. Lord of the Rings

 

Mark Knopfler's Local Hero soundtrack is excellent.

 

I guess to be technically correct, my listings for Immortal Beloved and The Red Violin are indeed scores rather than soundtracks. But close enough for internet chat.

 

West Side Story
Crooklyn
Casino
Easy Rider

I'll come back in the future and name some Blaxploitation movies. There was some good chit in those movies.

 

Tindersticks - Trouble Every Day
Motorpsycho & Friends - The Tussler
Paul McCartney - Give My Regards to Broad Street
Scott Walker - The Childhood of a Leader

 

Superfly (1972)
Claudine (1974)
The Land Before Time (1988)
Birdy (1985)

 

Black Caesar
Superfly Shaft
Across 110th st
Coffey

 

My wife would kill me that I forgot Claudine. THAT is a FANTASTIC album. My wife and I, every year, we watch Claudine and have Fried Chicken and Cold Duck night.
