It's not a banjo, it's a Concert Zither.

Any Tarentino film.

I GOTCHA!

Uh huh, huh, you thought I didn't see ya now, did ya?
Uh huh, huh, you tried to slip by me now didn't ya?
(hee hee)
Uh huh, huh, now gimme what you promised to me, GIVE IT HERE!

HEEEEEY!

Not to mention the dialogue bonuses about amputations.

Harvey Kietel on "ResDogs": "Cut off one of his fingers. The little one. Then tell him his thumb is next. After that, he'll tell you if he wears ladies' underwear."

Lucy Liu in "KB I": "The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is: I collect your fxcking head. Just like this fxcker here.

Just because it was playing from every window on campus when I was in college. Takes me back ...

Gotta love the zither!

Good choices. Two recent additions:

In terms of songs that I constantly listen to...nothing was better than Garden State's soundtrack. I could listen to In the Waiting Line or Lebanese Blonde or Such Great Heights forever, and I probably will.

The soundtrack for Requiem for a Dream is also phenomenal. The haunting violin on the overtures...it's amazing as a stand-alone, but if you have seen the movie, the songs can bring you to tears.

The Mission.

Morricone's a freakin' genius.

[elwoodblues]

Blues Brothers - by a mile.
Forrest Gump is good
This is Spinal Tap

[lucas9000]

i agree with so many already mentioned. i'll add the life aquatic soundtrack.

i have a love/hate relationship with the judgment night soundtrack. some good fun stuff, but it was likely instrumental in bringing about rap-metal, and we've all seen how horrible that got.

man requiem for a dream has to be the most overrated movie on 2+2 by a mile

Garden State.

whatever the soundtrack will be for the Outkast movie.

The soundtrack was very good, and the movie was entertaining.

Not having ever been into heroin or coke or whatever it was that those kids were doing, I can't really relate to it.

I did like seeing that girl from Labyrinth in the "a$$ to a$$" scene.

I stand corrected. I never played a stringed instrument, aside from 30 minutes figuring out that a violin is difficult to play.

And I didn't dislike the song, but could recall no other piece of music from the film.

Excellent movie, by the way. I don't think it's better than Citizen Kane as far as the production values went, but I do think the story is better.

Come on....Morricone did his best work in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

"Empire Of The Sun" John Williams orchestra I think

I second Hero, that music is so beautiful.

Team America.

[Pharity]

Yeah the lost boys soundtrack is fine. Too bad the movie is really bad though. The only thing lifting it is Kiefer!

[Pharity]

Tarantino - sure, but specific: Kill bill!!!

[sfer]

Grosse Point Blank. Actually, I don't know what's on the soundtrack but the songs in the movie are pretty good and eclectic for a nostalgia-fest.

[IndieMatty]

Smart Man

[2planka]

I see, but the Mission soundtrack is worth listening to on its own. I'd need a padded room to listen to the G,B,U soundtrack sans film.

[Nagoo81]

Best soundtrack? Its actually a tie --

"Bloodsport" starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as "Col. Frank 'Put Up Your' Dux

and

"Transformers: The Movie" starring Judd Nelson as 'Hot Rod'

Stan Bush is a master.

Fight to Survive? Masterful. (You've Got) The Touch?Classic. On My own? A great ballad. Dare? Heart-pumping.

I kind of like the soundtrack from Amelie from Montmartre.

Do I win the price?

[Bataglin]

Lots of lame tunes in this thread.

Lost Highway
Matrix
The Beach (this is a bit softer, but I like the diversity)

[BiffMan]

Conan the Barbarian
Last of the Mohicans
Hunt for Red October
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Looking on IMDB just now, apparently Basil Poledouris (Conan and Red October) has done quite a few of the movies I've liked the music in.

Man, can't believe I forgot that one. Absolutely! But only the first one for me...

[Asufiji2004]

The Bodyguard. With such breathtaking hits as "I want to run to you", "Queen of the Night" and of course the chart topping smash "I will always love you"..the question is how could you not pick this soundtrack.

[offTopic]

GBU
Pulp Fiction

24 Hour Party People. There were a coupla 80's movies that had great soundtracks w/all the Romeo Void type one-hits on them, but danged if I can remember the titles.

[Ten7offsuit]

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this yet, but I thought the LOTR soundtracks were amazing.

[balkii]

Godfather I and II
Amelie

[captZEEbo1]

don't think anyone has mentioned Almost Famous!!!
