What is your favorite soundtrack to a movie?  I don't really have a favorite yet but I do kind of like the Little Nicky one, it's got alot of songs that I like by bands that I wouldn't buy the CD of.

Ghost Of Mars, Tromeo & Juliet, The Crow, and Spawn are fucking killer...

 

Rock Star has its moments...mainly the Steel Dragon originals ("Wasted Generation" owns all).

Even though it can get a little stale sometimes, I always liked the soundtrack for Permanent Midnight.  Spawn is another great soundtrack, but I don't like it anywhere near as much as I used to.  I also must say that O Brother, Where Art Thou's soundtrack is AWESOME!

The only soundtrack I own is Spider-Man, so i'd have to say it's my favorite.

I'm not much of a fan of soundtracks. Too many of them are just a collection of random songs, which would be fine, but since most soundtracks are aimed to move the highest number of units possible, the music on them does nothing for me.

 

Soundtracks work on one of two levels: 1) as a companion piece to the movie, reminding you of many of them key moments from the film, all the while enjoying the music in its own right. My favorite soundtrack in this category would be Rushmore; 2) as a standalone album. The film did not need to be enjoyed or even seen in order to like the album. Soundtracks of the last ten years tend to fall largely into this category. Out of all the soundtracks I own--which isn't very much--the only one I have in which I like the album immensely but care little for the film is Velvet Goldmine. The movie is a bland Citizen Kane ripoff, but oh, 70+ minutes of great 70s glam rock and some wonderful, newly recorded 70s-style glam is a thing to behold. I love that disc. I dare say it was one of the best albums of 1998.

I second the Rushmore mention.  I also feel compelled to mention The Graduate, in so far as a great movie being made even better by the soundtrack behind it.  I haven't heard the recent Belle and Sebastian ("Storytelling") or Badly Drawn Boy ("About A Boy") discs, so I can't comment on those.  They seem like safe enough bets, given who was involved.

 

The only soundtrack I currently own is Trainspotting and I'm not too terribly fond of that.

Never saw the Godzilla movie but loved the soundtrack.  It also contains the only good song Puff Daddy ever did - and he needed Jimmy Page's help to do it.

 

I also like the MI:2 soundtrack, and the soundtrack I have that has all the James Bond theme songs, from Dr. No to Tomorrow Never Dies.  A quick look at my CD rack says the name is "The Best of 007 James Bond".

Oh... how could I forget about the soundtrack to end all soundtracks... Saturday Night Fever! Seriously... that's a great album, I just wish I owned it on CD so I could listen to it more often... damn vinyls...

i liked the score for requeim for a dream, and shindler's list.

my fav soundtrack is for magnolia. best hip hop sdtk would be above the rim(highlight of west coat rap). sdtks are best when all the songs compliment the movie.

Another one I forgot is the original TV soundtrack for "The X-Files".  It's got Soul Coughing, Frank Black, Foo Fighters, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Danzig, and lots of other good stuff.  Hell, if PM Dawn put good tracks on it, you know it's something special.  It's surprisingly dark, as the show was in those early days (it was released in 1996).

i gotta mention 'pulp fiction', for sheer energy.

 

my favorite though, far and away, is 'lost highway'.  the first time i bought the cd, my player actually fucked up and after the last track it skipped back to the 2nd track (which makes so much sense with the movie that it's scary).  i originally thought the cd was gimmicked that way, but oh well.  would've been cool if it was.  i was very disappointed about the missing track (this mortal coil's 'song to the siren'), which is EASILY the best fucking song in the movie; but i picked up this mortal coil's album & burned a new version of the soundtrack with 'song to the siren' on it.  now it holds its own against anything in my collection.
