thebes Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Slightly different from Wild bill's thread and something both the music and movie lovers down here can enjoy. You know, hated the movie, loved the music; loved the movie; loved the music so you had to buy the cd. I'll start the ball rolling with four: Animal House Frida Kansas City Masked and Anonymous (Bob Dylan's 2003 flic with four songs performed by him and a dozen other of his songs sung by others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtDark Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Good topic. Dazed and Confused; really good classic rock selection Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and ****** (both Guy Ritchie films); really eclectic track selection but a lot of fun to listen to Blade Runner; a good score by Vangelis The Lost in Translation soundtrack is pretty good too, got some good lo-fi rock and chillout tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdmarsiii Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I love the soundtrack off of Armageddon. Sound track to Pearl Harbor is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterT Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Pulp Fiction- has some pretty cool songs End of Days- has some good "one off" originals by bands I like The Matrix- has some good beats Queen of the Damned- wish it had more of the music from the movie. All of the songs by Jonathan Davis were not included on the soundtrack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I really like Lock,Stock (already mentioned) All 3 lord of the rings movies (more of a Score than a soundtrack I suppose) I like the Highlander soundtrack by Queen. The Musical Score from Brom Stoker's Dracula by Wojeck Kilar is good too "The Crow" is probably my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardP Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I have to say "The Committments" (1992). It's one of my favorite movies, and has a fantastic soundtrack. If you haven't seen it, rent it immediately, as it is surely one of the best movies ever with a musical theme. It's about a group of out-of-work Dubliners who form a soul/R&B band. It's by the same director/writer who did "The Van" and "The Snapper." It is a "feel good" comedy that may remind you of "The Full Monty" (which also has a great soundtrack, by the way). It has been recently re-released with DD5.1 soundtrack. There are two soundtrack CDs (Vols. 1 and 2). A surprise on the CDs is that several numbers are sung by the actor who played the band's manager, who never sang in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 Good ones, especially Bladerunner, the Commitments and Pulp Ficton. Made me think of another one: The Big Chill Keep'em coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 LOTR 3 CD collection, Master & Commander, and thinking about getting the Desperado & ...Mexico soundtracks (if they exist)after watching those flicks over the weekend. I thought while watching them and going ga-ga over Salma Hayek that "You know, the music has been pretty darn good in both of these." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 For me, the best melding of the flic and the music was Body Heat with music by John Barry. The original sound track is a collector's item but there is a very good "cover" CD available at normal prices. I'm a big fan of John Barry and did not know it at first. I'd like the music used in a movie and would hunt CD in the sound track bin. E.g. James Bond films had music by John Barry. Lion in Winter . . . John Barry again. Dances with Wolves . . . John Barry yet again? Out of Africa . . . John Barry. Body Heat . . . John Barry. A pattern was forming. There was even some very good music for an I-Max 3-D where a young lad looked at stereo opticons and compared them to present life. The credits showed, of course, John Barry.

formica Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Along the lines of the Matrix, there is the original SPAWN soundtrack. Lousy movie but fun soundtrack if you're into heavier electronica (a series of duets between metal and techno bands) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Some more I really like. "Good morning Vietnam", " Last Action Hereo", Apacolypse Now", American Graphetti" I must mention " Dusk till Dawn" because zztop she's just killin me (Smokin!) and there are other cool tunes on it.

thebes Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 Twin Peaks! Love it! Haunting/goosebumby is probably the best approximation I can use to describe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeke_in_KC Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 It's pretty hard to beat Isaac Hayes's original Shaft recordings: it typifies the sound of a generation and, frankly, sounds really cool pushed through my old Klipsch Cornwalls. Of yeah, it "works well" for the wife -- which pleases me to no end! "Long live Isaac Hayes." "Yes! All hail Isaac Hayes!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuclearay Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 A Clockwork Orange -- Old electronica The Lost Highway -- Many good artists on this one Reservoir Dogs -- Oh yeah! But really just about any movie made by Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, or Quentin Tarantino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
