Movie Sound-tracks to Die for?!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

What are some of those Movie soundtracks (doesn't have to be original music) that you would just LOVE to own (or do love owning)

some of them for me would have to be "Jacobs Ladder".
I just love the Piano pieces.
Also "Platoon"
"Apocalypse Now" Yeah war movies have always had my favorite music.
I actually have an Alfred Hitchcock CD that has music from "Psycho", "Vertigo", and "North by Northwest" a great many listens.

"A Clock Work Orange" deserves a mention (and much, much more).

INput!

	American Graffiti- Best soundtrack ever Cheers to the Clockwork Orange vote.
	Here I'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fan ringed by ants and musing over man.

	I prefer video game soundtracks. I own the two Black Mages albums (Final Fantasy), A Metal Gear Solid soundtrack and a Donkey Kong one. All are really cool. Films I'm not too sure about. "Bloodsport" has a pretty cool cheesy pop soundtrack.

	A few composers stand out for me.... Ennio Morricone- 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly', 'Once Upon A Time In The West' and 'A Fistful Of Dynamite'; all of these are superb pieces of film music, yet are some kind of weird psychedelic mutation of Western movie scores. John Barry- a plethora of great works; much my favourites are 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' (best Bond film and soundtrack ever!), 'Game Of Death' (a clear case of where the soundtrack is better than the film, an exploitative Bruce Lee movie which is kind of so bad it's good...), 'You Only Live Twice' (blissful), 'The Ipcress File', plus his wonderful, Moog heavy theme tune to classic TV show 'The Persuaders'... Roy Budd- did some great action movies; 'The Stone Killer' (underrated Charles Bronson cop thriller- lots of Moog/ heavy rock weirdness), 'Get Carter' (haunting and eerie- a perfect soundtrack to arguably THE greatest UK gangster film). Laurie Johnson- more of a composer of TV themes, but I just love the themes for 'The Avengers', 'The New Avengers' and 'The Professionals'. There's much incidental music throughout these however, with lots of heavy funk wah wah workouts on the latter two. For a piece of camp charm, check out his theme for 'Jason King' too...

	Although I usually never watch musical/dance movie etc..., I must say I make an exception for the Haïr musical (both the Broadway show of the late 60's and the movie of ten years later) The soundtrack to both is absolutely astounding, while sufficiently different to have made me want to have both!!! The only time I ever bought a soundtrack, and I got both version>>> quite a feat The movie version has really a superb funked-up bass line, that changes the face of a few tracks Platoon's music selection was awesome , but without the film's images, it simply loses almost everything
	let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword
