About soundtracks (music thread)

[jason_t]

There are a few different questions to be answered here. Hopefully this will generate enough discussion on the topic of soundtracks.

What is the best overall soundtrack?

What is the best instrumental soundtrack?

What is the best soundtrack for a bad movie? (e.g. the 1996 version of Romeo + Juliet is bad, but the soundtrack is something special.)

What is the worst soundtrack for a great movie? (Invert the above.)

Anything John Williams has done is pretty awesome, though he does seem to just rehash old themes nowadays.

Jurassic Park is my personal fave.

The 2 soundtracks I actually have on my mp3 player are Requiem for a Dream and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. I haven't been really tempted to put any others on.

I think the Lord of The Rings soundtrack is absolutely superb.

On Classic FM yesterday they played 'hymn to the fallen' from Saving Private Ryan, that was nice.

I currently have two soundtracks on my iPod - I am Sam & Garden State. Both are excellent from beginning to end.

I am Sam is pretty damn good.

In terms of original composition, I'd separate into modern electronic scores (Requiem For a Dream and Fight Club are both pretty awesome) and classical scores (The Mission and Glory would be my favorites).

The best soundtrack from a bad movie is "Judgment Night."

The best soundtracks that aren't original -- just a collection of good songs -- would be from films by Gregg Araki and Quentin Tarantino: e.g. Nowhere, Splendor, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, etc.
