[Orang Utan]

[Sabu]

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
Once Upon a Time in the West
Deadlock
The Streetfighter
Repo Man

SHould really be a distinction between best Original score and compilation soundtracks. YOu have to give it Tarantino, he sources some great tracks.

My fav original score is Howard SHore + Ornette COleman for Naked Lunch

...about as close to classical music as i can get. was lucky enough to see this played live with the film playing in the back a couple of years back -

 

[isitme]

no it didn't

yes it did

 

[sojourner]

nother vote for O Brother Where Art Thou

 

[RubyBlue]

I haven't seen the film, but what about Prince's "Purple Rain"?

Yeah that's good. Right now I love the soundtrack from Slumdog Millionaire.

 

[Orang Utan]

Badlands
The Thin Red Line

 

[internetstalker]

pulp fiction

 

[Silva]

Good call. Like his movies, Tarantino likes his soundtracks slightly kitschy, but surely makes them work

Another fav is Blues Brothers, with my favourite number bit being Twist It - Tail Feather

Murph: Tell me a little about this electric piano, Ray.
Ray: Ah you have a good eye my man. That's the best in the city of Chicago.
Jake: How much?
Ray: Two thousand bucks and it's yours. You can take it home with you. As a matter of fact I'll through the black keys in for free.
Jake: Two thousand for this chunk o'shit? Come on Ray.
Murph: I mean really Ray, it's used, there's no action left in this keyboard.

[Ray comes out from behind the counter and sits at the piano]

Ray: Excuse me, I don't think there's anything wrong with the action on this piano.

 

[RubyBlue]

pulp fiction

I forgot about this one - I have it and used to love it - thanks for reminding me - I have it on now Don't any of you mutherfuckers move

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Oh Brother Where Art Though and also Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil which is the songs of Johnny Mercer sung by people such as Alison Krauss, kd lang, Tony Bennett, Clint Eastwood and Kevin Spacey

LA Confidential is pretty good too - especially Jerry Goldsmiths wonderful theme music

 

[SW9]

Cannibal Holocaust (seriously)
Suspiria
Tenebrae
Profundo Rosso
The Good The Bad & The Ugly is the besterest ever though

I agree with the first 4

 

[Gingerman]

Reseviour Dogs,Blade Runner,Repo man,Saturday Night Fever and The Deerhunter to name but a few.

 

[kained&able]

hustle and flow

[YouSir]

Ennio Morricone's Westerns, not just great soundtracks but great music which deserves more praise than it gets.

 

[Augie March]

Requim For A Dream
There Will Be Blood
Blade Runner

Also anything involving Jon Brion (Eternal Sunshine in particular).

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Carter Burwell is a wonderful film composer - especially in conjunction with the Coen Brothers, "Millers Crossing is my favourte score of his

 

[blairsh]

I'm sure this thread was done not all that long ago...

Ho hum. Ghost Dog is probably one of my favourites as it goes.

 

[isitme]

spun

 

[contadino]

Once Upon a Time in the West stands head & shoulders above others IMO. Ennio Morricone's best work.

Hannibal.
South West 9.
Natural Born Killers.
Kill Bill 2.

 

[Pie 1]

Paris Texas
There Will Be Blood
Fargo
Almost Famous
The Cook, The thief, His Wife & Her Lover

 

[DotCommunist]

Without a shadow of a doubt, Natural Born Killers. Dre Dre, cowboy junkies, leanord cohen and many others, the whole thing produced by legendary trent reznor.

The only albums that come close are the Fear and Loathing in los vegas soundtrack and the Big Lebowski soundtrack

 

[stavros]

SHould really be a distinction between best Original score and compilation soundtracks.

True with Ghost Dog; the soundtrack is a fairly standard Wu compilation, but the score is the RZA in his element, evoking the film perfectly.

 

[DJWrongspeed]

No Country for Old Men - there's not much goin on there - that's what we like

There's generally far too much music in films, just layout off it directors out there. The best soundtracks are the kind of integrated ones by say John Carpenter, he wrote & directed or say Tetsuo where it's all interwoven.
