Josh I have to agree with you on the Across the Universe soundtrack. I loved the movie and bought the soundtrack.

I'm going to have to bring up some of my recent favorites, although they may not be recent movies.

Across The Universe - I love The Beatles and I was a bit wary of the movie because of it, but not only was the movie pretty good, the songs were done really well also.

Rocky - Seriously...Eye of The Tiger. 'Nough said.

Hairspray - I loved the original with Ricky Lake, and I'm not a huge fan of John Travolta anymore, but this version was pretty cool.

There are a few that top it. Those being.....Judgement Night, 50 First Dates, Braveheart, Boondock Saints, Last Of The Mohicans, The Breakfast Club, Queen Of The Damned, and Gone In 60 Seconds. Good stuff.

The Italian Job - original 1969 release. But you may have to be British to fully appreciate it, and Judgment Night probably the best hip-hop & rock mash-up album.

I think the only soundtrack I ever owned was Alladin. Kind of embarrassing. I used to know all the lyrics for "friend like me". But yeah most movie soundtracks these days suck, but if there were a soundtrack for the show Entourage or CSI:NY I'd definitely buy it.

@Ollie: Agreed, I was surprised to reach almost the bottom of this note and not see Schindler's List. I also liked the Gladiator soundtrack, along with all of the music from the Lord of the Rings films.

daviddemchuk — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 07:11:02

Saturday Night Fever! Hit after hit and the distillation of an era. I can't believe no one has mentioned it so far.

For somewhat more recent films--I agree with Requiem for a Dream, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Donnie Darko, plus Run Lola Run and Superbad.

The Best Movie Soundtrack

hthth — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 23:05:59

A a lot of good soundtracks been mentioned.
I'll add Vangelis' soundtrack for Blade Runner. The soundtrack for Naked Lunch was pretty hot too.

I'll throw a vote in for "The Departed". It's one of my all-time favorite films and I really like the Irish tune at the beginning. "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys.

The Best Movie Soundtrack

Nicole — Fri, 11 May 2007 20:37:53

The one that immediately stands out in my mind is the soundtrack for The Safety of Objects. Unfortunately, it was never produced and sold as a CD. Here's the IMDB song listing for those curious.

My favourites are Braveheart, Gladiator and Stargate, although I also love stage shows.

I'm going to have to listen to some of the ones recommended above, there are a few films there I would be very interested in hearing the scores too.

I can't believe that Cruel Intentions hasn't been mentioned. There isn't a bad song on that soundtrack.

And I loved the one for Legally Blonde. Perfect summer album.

jlaakso — Mon, 07 May 2007 00:46:32

Since it looks like it hasn't been mentioned yet, I need to bring up The Crow's score. It was the first score I really listened to at length and most of it is etched to my spine due to heavy teenage drama at the time. The soundtrack is also very good, with a standout moment in Nine Inch Nails' cover of Dead Souls.

As far as more recent movies go, Lost In Translation has great music.

MangoFalls — Fri, 04 May 2007 19:04:13

I'm with James, Dazed and Confused and I'd toss in Pulp Fiction as well.

Quentin Tarantino puts together one hell of a soundtrack.

As far as instrumental music, I'd say Out of Africa had the best soundtrack.
