Alfie Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 My chief guilty pleasure is [i]Behind Enemy Lines[/i], I love the use of 'Buck Rogers' in the take-off scene. Otherwise it has to be [i]Master and Commander[/i] for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamd Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Bladerunner soo atmospheric. Out of sight has a seriously funky soundtrack, as does Jackie Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Body Murdered though is on a different level for me, one of those songs that make you keep hitting the volume+ button until there ain't no volume+ left.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1006551' date='Oct 30 2010, 06:49 PM']Saturday Night Fever.[/quote] Yep. This. [quote name='silentbob' post='1006645' date='Oct 30 2010, 08:05 PM']Was the music in 28 Days Later all done by Godspeed You, Black Emporer?[/quote] AM 180 is by Grandaddy (scene in the taxi, driving North) A big +1 to; Judgement Night (various) Dirty Harry (Lalo Schiffrin) Clerks (various) Got to say that James Horner's work on Star Trek II is lovely, even if certain elements of his themes re-occur in other films that he's scored.

RockfordStone Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 the lost boys soundtrack is pretty good, if you are 80's inlined of course................. i'll get my coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.i.stein Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Curdled was great. Donnie Darko for 80's nostalgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) I think Ennio Morricone is the king of film soundtracks-any of the Leone westerns get my vote, with Once upon a time in the West being my particular favourite. Otherwise honourable mention for O Brother where art thou? and Apocalypse now. Edited November 1, 2010 by Deep Thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMech Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 The Jungle Book! probably the film of my childhood. Some absolutely brilliant tunes on there. Second to Blues Brothers, but we all know that already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already stated 2nd to the blues brothers is Jackie Brown for me Im also a big fan of the Legend album by Clannad, used on the 80s Tv show Robin of Sherwood, ok its not a film, but better than the one Costner did with Bryan Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Paris, Texas - Ry Cooder's finest?

Lozz196 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Still Crazy - Strange Fruit should have been a real band, just awesome And, John Carpenters The Thing - not so much a traditional soundtrack, but very effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
