What's your favorite movie soundtrack?

Tron 2. Daft Punk without lyrics is perfect for me.

Oh Brother Where Art Thou is a good one.

A few of my favs, in no particular order:

The Lord of the Rings trilogy
Tron: Legacy
Oblivion
Gladiator
Star Wars (especially Episode I)
Interestellar

Cosmos
Blade Runner

Vangelis, enough said.

Trainspotting
Hackers
Atomic Blonde
Go
Grease
The Big Lebowski
The Crow
Mary Poppins

Conan The Barbarian by Basil Polidouris
Aliens by James Horner
The Good The Bad And The Ugly by Ennio Morricone

2001: A Space Odyssey. Ligeti scared the shit out of me as a kid, and I love it.

A few that spring to mind...

Vertigo
Psycho
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Mulholland Drive
All 3 LOTR films
Star Wars OT
Indiana Jones (especially Raiders)
The Sweet Smell of Success

Oh yes, I remember the Twin Peaks movie having the Cherubini requiem. Awesome stuff
- Ah, I never knew what that piece was. It's fantastic though, a perfect fit along with all of Badalamenti and Lynch's music.
  
  My particular favourite is the weird drone of The Pink Room, turned up loud, but it's all good!

Dune (1984)

The Fifth Element

Toto’s Dune score is objectively amazing, and also that one Brian Eno track was perfect. Good pick.

Either Pulp Fiction or Judgment Night.

Judgement Night is awesome!
- Fuck yeah. Soundtrack is better than the movie. Lol

Tron by Draft Punk
Lord of the Ring
Interstellar
The Graduate

Lock stock and two smoking barrels
o’ brother where art thou
tron (daft punk)

My favorite is the soundtrack to Princess Mononoke, composed by Joe Hisaishi.

Terminator 2 Theme

Not sure if "favorite", I can't recall every soundtrack I've heard, but definitely one of my top favorites and the first I thought of.

You Could be Mine was the perfect choice for the moped scene.

Pump Up The Volume

Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and Footloose are probably my favorites of all time. It's really hard to find soundtracks with a better collection of absolutely amazing songs imo.

To Live and Die in LA by Wang Chung is another great one that hasn't been mentioned yet

Into the wild

Koyaanisqatsi
Solaris (the remake)
Whiplash
Broken Flowers
The Fountain
Pirates ot Caribbean

I feel like whiplash is cheating but you right lol

Escape from New York.

Oldboy.

The score for Star Trek II: the wrath of khan is absolutely amazing

James Horner nailed the starship motif. I enjoy the various other composers' works as well, but Horner is my top for Trek.

Howard Shore for all the Tolkien work. His music alone will paint the image of Middle Earth in my head.

And Hans Zimmer has some stuff I love, like Time, but he did his best job imo for Dune.

Highlander

Haven’t seen anyone mention Cinema Paradiso or The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Both are wildly different. Ennio Morricone is a genius.

There’s also The Incredibles - Michael Giacchino The Greatest Showman - Various Artists
Saving Private Ryan - John Williams
The Prince of Egypt - Hans Zimmer
The Gospel of John - Jeff Dann (great middle eastern vibe)

The crow

Last Samurai is super chill

Tron Legacy.

One of the few soundtracks I can listen from front to back.

Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse

Not a movie but all 3 Beastars openings sound so good

Already lots of LOTR & Tron: Legacy here. Not seeing much love for animated film scores, so on that note & in no particular order:

How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, 1 is personal favorite
Kung Fu Panda trilogy, 2 is ~~so fucking good oh my god~~ personal favorite
The Lion King (1994)
Spirited Away
My Neighbor Totoro
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
The Super Mario Movie
Finding Nemo
Up

A couple of these have great soundtracks, too, but I do love a good score.

Nausicaa!

Spawn The Album. Such great collabs! https://tidal.com/album/33972202?u

Also

The Horse Whisper https://open.spotify.com/album/5TkEej0XgyiQyWHfXwrE9w

Spawn soundtrack is the best, no question

Gross Pointe Blank

Animatrix. It's been in my regular listening rotation for probably over 15 years now.

Velvet Goldmine

Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead

My favourite is

Suzume feat. Toaka - RADWIMPS

Tron Legacy

The Crow

Shrek 2

Sucker Punch

Lately, I've been listening to The Martian. I'm kind of a sucker for synthy orchestral compositions and that soundtrack is just so hauntingly beautiful.

Fight Club, Amélie, The Crow (original), To Live and Die in LA

Bad Company (Trevor Rabin)
Starship Troopers (Basil Poledouris)
Star Trek 2009 (Michael Giacchino)
The Mask Of Zorro (James Horner)

So many good ones, I don't know how to choose.

Interstellar 55555 (slightly cheating)
Perfect Blue
The Green Knight
The Girl With All the Gifts
Dune (the original)
Densha Otoko
Spirited Away
Dark Knight
Interstellar
The Last of Us (game and show)
Innocent Venus

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is my absolute fav.

Gladiator (that battle tune is timeless) Gone in 60 seconds Human Traffic Snatch & Lock Stock Guardians of the Galaxy I am Sam Magnolia

All make regular appearances.

Hotline Miami, Doom and Sim City are game OSTs that also get a lot of play time. Honourable mentions for Dark Reign, Spirit Farer and This War of Mine

Gladiator is good but give a listen to Mars from the Planet Suite by Holst.

Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe

Hereditary solely for that ending banger. Or anything by Atticus Ross and/or Trent Reznor. I recently rewatched the Book of Eli and it feels dated, but THOSE SOUNDS.

Desperado

Batman (both Elfman and Prince)

Last Action Hero

The Matrix

LOTR

The Fifth Element

Terminator 2

I just watched Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure yesterday and though the soundtrack is not original, the soundtrack made the movie.

The Mission 1986.

Scream 3

Django unchained

American pie

Spiderman into the spider verse

Queen of The Damned' soundtrack is the GOAT. That cd was far better than the movie.

Mine is from the 1996 anime film X. It is based on a CLAMP manga and goes much harder than the poster would lead you to believe.

X Movie Wikipedia

The soundtrack complements the tone perfectly with its experimental and unsettling atmosphere.

X Original Soundtrack

Amélie

I was a hipster in high school and I used to have Amelie on my iPod classic. Was such a tiny screen. :)

Kill Bill Volume 2! And I like the Carol (2015) soundtrack (totally not a lesbian).

X-files.

Fight Club.
