What is your favorite soundtrack album?

Does I'm Not There count?

 

From A MOVIE I've seen:
"Snatch"

From a movie I HAVEN'T seen:
"You Are What You Eat"

 

Curious George soundtrack album by Jack Johnson is pretty good

 

A Hard Days Night

 

Easy Rider

 

Some of my favorite original scores:
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Under the Skin
The Shining
Donnie Darko

 

Here We Go 'Round The Mulberry Bush -- Traffic, Spencer Davis

 

Judgment Night (1993)

 

Soundtrack of previously released tracks:
The Big Chill (there's so much great music in this they actually released a second soundtrack to fill in the ones that got missed the first time around)
Life Aquatic Studio Sessions (not sure if this counts because there is an actual official soundtrack, but for those who have not seen the film, there is a character played by a Brazilian man, and in most of (if not all) of his scenes he is playing acoustic Bowie covers. This album is just full versions of those covers.)
Y Tu Mama Tambien (if only for the fact that they were able to get the Zappa estate to allow the use of Watermelon In Easter Hay)
The Graduate
Inside Llewyn Davis
Easy Rider
The Harder They Come
Mean Streets
Pulp Fiction


Soundtracks written for the film:
Harold & Maude
This Is Spinal Tap
Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid
Paris, Texas
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (even though my favorite song in the film didn't make it onto the official soundtrack).

The soundtrack for the anime show Samurai Champloo is excellent as well.

 

Song Remains the Same
Singles
Porgy and Bess

 

Harder They Come
Superfly
Shaft
Trouble Man (Marvin Gaye)
Bladerunner (Vangelis)
Pink Panther (Henry Mancini)
That's the Way of the World (Earth Wind and Fire)
Paris, Texas (Ry Cooder)

 

Quite a few that I like, but I actually listen to these fairly regularly:

1984
Liquid Sky
Xanadu
La Notte
honorable mention to Suspiria, which gets played mostly at a certain time of year

 

Star Wars (composed by John Williams) is the soundtrack that got me interested in movie and TV instrumental music. My favourite composers are Williams, Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith, Alan Silvestri, Akira Ifukube, and James Horner and if I had to choose one and only one favourite soundtrack, it would be Star Wars.

 

Philip Glass' Mishima is fantastic. In a more contemporary direction, Serge Gainsbourg and Michel Colombier's Anna is a treat of sixties Mod-inspired pop, and possibly the greatest showcase of Gainsbourg's versatility as a writer.

That was filmed in my hometown. I don't think they've given the town centre so much as a lick of paint ever since, either!

 

Giu La Testa - Ennio Morricone (aka Duck, You Sucker & A Fistful Of Dyanmite) - Invenzione Per John is as astonishing as Morricone gets

 

I cannot believe I forgot those two, especially as I've been going through a Prince phase lately!

 

I've been on a Prince kick for a few weeks now so those are the first two that came to mind and the last two I listened to.

 

At the moment it's John Carpenter's The Fog. 2cd job on Silva Screen P 2012. Wife is going nuts here

 

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
The Mission
Into the Wild
Paris, Texas

 

Taxi Driver - Herman's swansong, great music and the De Niro spoken word bits are great as well.

You have to have one from John Williams's golden 'imperial' period - E.T. is just wonderful.

John Carpenter - Assault on Precinct 13, an iconic electronic score

Alien/Aliens, Jerry Goldsmith I think.

Drive is a great modern one, a good mixture of score and a handful of obscure original songs

Maurice Jarre's Doctor Zhivago, especially Laura' Theme

As far as these soundtracks that are a collection of well known hits - it can be a bit lazy at times but I do like The Wanderers, Guardians of the Galaxy (which soundtrack plays a key part in the plot, very clever) and the Tarrantino ones.
