What are the Best soundtracks you have?

[diebitter]

Okay, I'm doing this in case I'm missing something, but here's mine:

Twin Peaks - so beautiful
Blade Runner - see above
Gladiator - see above above
Hannibal - I'm a pleb, and include this for 1 track, a piece of opera that Hannibal sees out in the fresh air. It is stunningly beautiful, and for that alone, I'm including it in mine. Dunno who wrote it, dunno what it's called, dunno what it means.

so, tell me, anything you can recommend?

I like Platoon, Pulp Fiction, and the LOTR soundtracks.

I think we should differentiate between true soundtracks - music written expressly for a film (ala Blade Runner) and compliation soundtracks made up of a bunch of previously recorded songs (Pulp Fiction, Garden State)

what do you think?

Boogie Nights
Wonderland
Outside Providence
Blow
A Bronx Tale

I'm not going to go through every post, but i'm sure both pulp fiction and garden state are mentioned.

but, surprisingly enough, Clueless- great soundtrack, also "Songs from teh Capeman" which was a terrible broadway play but all the music is by Paul Simon....good [censored].

[whiskeytown]

probably "The Power of One" - an film about South Africa - several tracks later ended up being reused for the Lion King.

also "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"

"Crossroads" was the default answer for me on this. All of Ry Cooder's movie work is fantastic, but he hit the jackpot on this, both in terms of material and the performance. The soundtrack is completely integral to the movie as well. Probably my favorite cut, which is not really prominent in the film, is Amy Madigan singing "He Made a Woman Out Of Me."

"Streets of Fire" is lots of cheesy fun with some more fantastic Ry Cooder guitar work thrown in. The Jim Steinman tunes (performed by Fire Inc.) are top notch overblown overdramatic overwritten rock and roll excess in the classic Steinman style. Throw in tunes written by Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks and Bob Seger, add in Link Wray's "Rumble" performed by Ry Cooder, you've got yourself a winner.

I'm a fan of most Cooder work. His scores for "Paris, Texas", "Last Man Standing", and "The Long Riders" are fantastic scores. He generally seems to work with Walter Hill or Wim Wenders. I can't remember if I came to love Walter Hill movies because of Ry Cooder, or if I came to love Ry Cooder because of Walter Hill movies. Probably a bit of both.

The piece of Opera in Hannibal was written specifically for the movie. It is Dante Alighieri's 1st sonnet set to music.
