What is your top 3 soundtrack albums?

A hard question i know.I hope there is no similar thread already in the forum

I guess my top 3 would be
giorgio moroder - midnight express
Thomas Newman - Meet Joe Black
Goran Bregovic - underground

 

Superfly
Saturday Night Fever
Purple Rain
A Hard Day's Night
The Harder They Come

 

Pulp Fiction
Saturday Night Fever
Forrest Gump
Honorable Mention: West Side Story
Favorite Soundtrack Composer: Thomas Newman

 

The Harder They Come
Trouble Man
Countryman

 

Rushmore
Pulp Fiction
RockNRolla/Snatch-tie

 

Star Wars
Paris,Texas
Deep Red (aka Profondo Rosso)

 

Xanadu
Footloose
Saturday Night Fever (mainly for the Bee Gees songs)
Grease (only for the handful of ONJ tracks. The rest of it is crap)
Give My Regards To Broad Street
Purple Rain
Flashdance

 

Angelo Badalamenti - Twin Peaks
Manfred Hübler & Siegfried Schwab - Vampyros Lesbos (actually has music from several Jess Franco films)
Michael Stearns - Chronos

Now waiting for someone to post like 20 soundtracks and say "I just couldn't keep it down to 3."

 

Exodus - Earnest Gold
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World - Earnest Gold
How the West Was Won - Alfred Newman
Lawrence of Arabia - Maurice Jarre

 

Singles: 2 of my favorite Pearl Jam songs, 2 of Paul Westerberg's best songs replacements or otherwise, Aic's best song, a great pumpkins tune in drown that I don't have anywhere else, a great screaming trees song, possibly my favorite soundgarden tune, a classic Chris Cornell solo tune, and the best mother love bone tune. This is a classic 90's album....I don't need the lovemongers cover and can live with or without hendrix in this context, but few can top the singles soundtrack (which is far better than the movie)

If a hard days night counts, that's here too of course despite being only half included in the film.

Then given I'm digging lost themes so much, I'm gonna throw a bone to Halloween by John carpenter....the shape lurks/stalks are badass

 

I still can't believe the Singles soundtrack has yet to be reissued on vinyl!

 

I really like that some members posted more than 3 albums. I bet they do graffiti too. LOL just kidding
