Movie Soundtracks

[boyst]

Got my girlfriend to watch Vision Quest with me. She's never seen it. It always amazed me how great this soundtrack is, but are there any better encapsulates its era? Every one of these songs is the perfect 80's type song, from Dio, Journey and REO to Madonna.

 

Also, Forrest Whitaker was in this movie.

 

Journey - Only The Young

Dio - Hungry for Heaven

Sammy Hagar - I'll Fall In Love Again

Foreigner - Hot Blooded

REO Speedwagon - Time For Me To Fly

Madonna - Gambler -This movie was her first cameo on film

Madonna - Crazy For You

Red Rider - Lunatic Fringe

Jon Waite - Change

Style Council - Shout To The Top

Don Henley - She's On The Zoom

 

I am sure there are a ton of great soundtracks, so name a few...

[ajzepp]

That's easily one of the most nostalgic films for me...really takes me back.

 

You're right, that's a great soundtrack!

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I am a big fan if movie score soundtracks.

 

James newton Howard soundtracks from m night shylamans movies are awesome..eg, unbreakable and signs.

 

Thomas Newman's shawshank redemption soundtrack is a classic.

 

I also love bill conti's karate kid and rocky scores. The karate kid one is sold as a limited edition.

 

[mrags]

I believe the Iron Man 2 soundtrack is basically just a compellation of ACDC tunes. It's got quite a bit in there.

[The Poojer]

In college that movie was my girlfriends and my movie mainly because of the music.....

For musical scores, Backdraft might have the best one I can think of, Days of Thunder is second.

[DrDawkinstein]

It's a bit dated since it came out in 1993, but nothing will ever beat the soundtrack for Judgement Night. The combination of popular rock/metal bands with rap bands was huge back then. This was before nu-metal.

 

No. Title Artists Length

1. "Just Another Victim" Helmet and House of Pain 4:23

2. "Fallin'" Teenage Fanclub and De La Soul 4:28

3. "Me, Myself, & My Microphone" Living Colour and Run DMC 3:10

4. "Judgment Night" Biohazard and Onyx 4:35

5. "Disorder" (Medley of 3 Exploited songs: "War", "UK '82", and "Disorder") Slayer and Ice-T 4:58

6. "Another Body Murdered" Faith No More and Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. 4:24

7. "I Love You Mary Jane" Sonic Youth and Cypress Hill 3:52

8. "Freak Momma" Mudhoney and Sir Mix-A-Lot 4:00

9. "Missing Link" Dinosaur Jr. and Del tha Funkee Homosapien 3:59

10. "Come & Die" Therapy? and Fatal 4:27

11. "Real Thing" Pearl Jam and Cypress Hill 3:33

 

After that, I'd say the soundtracks to both Crow movies...

1. "Burn" - The Cure (Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Boris Williams, Perry Bamonte) – 6:39
   
2. "Golgotha Tenement Blues" - Machines of Loving Grace (Scott Benzel, Mike Fisher, Stuart Kupers, Brad Kemp) – 4:01

14. "It Can't Rain All the Time" - Jane Siberry (Graeme Revell, Jane Siberry) – 5:34
    

The sequel doesnt have a pasteable listing, so here's a link: http://en.wikipedia....ls_(soundtrack)

[shrader]

I don't know if a single person (myself included) has ever seen the movie, but the Singles soundtrack is about as good as it gets for anyone who is a fan of the early 90s stuff out of Seattle.

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Donnie darko is another great 80s style soundtrack.

 

St Elmo's fire too

[mrags]

 

For musical scores, Backdraft might have the best one I can think of, Days of Thunder is second.

yiu just sold me. Days of Thunder takes the cake. Any movie that uses Gimmie some Lovin by the Spencer Davis Group so well gets my vote.

 

If also like to throw in the Movie Iron Eagle for that same exact reason.

[Marv's Neighbor]

Not a big movie person but; RISKY BUSINESS & the BLUES BROTHERS come to mind.

[Chef Jim]

Hans Zimmer Black Hawk Down

Peter Gabriel The Last Temptation of Christ

[Mike In Illinois]

[Philly McButterpants]

I say this with a staunch record of heterosexuality (not that there's anything wrong with that).

 

I regularly listen to the Grease soundtrack. i sing along in the car, and Greased Lightning is a regular on my my jogging mix.

[Johnny Hammersticks]

Pretty much every one of Wes Anderson's movies has an awesome soundtrack...if that is your thing. I will say the best movie soundtrack ever, IMO, is the one from Reservoir Dogs.

[Pete]

I don't know if a single person (myself included) has ever seen the movie, but the Singles soundtrack is about as good as it gets for anyone who is a fan of the early 90s stuff out of Seattle.

greatest soundtrack along with Saturday night fever and September sessions imo

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Hans Zimmer Black Hawk Down

Peter Gabriel The Last Temptation of Christ

 

Hans Zimmer has some great ones. But one of his best-- and one that flies way under the radar-- is " the holiday." nice Christmas rom comedy, but the soundtrack is top notch.

[birdog1960]

"city of angles" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Angels:_Music_from_the_Motion_Picture, "garden State", and "o brother where art thou" top my list.

I say this with a staunch record of heterosexuality (not that there's anything wrong with that).

 

I regularly listen to the Grease soundtrack. i sing along in the car, and Greased Lightning is a regular on my my jogging mix.

 

Is this the "Guilty Pleasures" thread?? I too must announce my heterosexuality but lean heavily toward the Broadway show recordings of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", "Damn Yankees", "Guys and Dolls" and "Cats".

 

As far as movie soundtracks..."The Last of the Mohicans" has an incredible score that really makes you feel the energy of the film. I would add "Bull Durham" as another good soundtrack.

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

by the way, any fans of "the mission"? Really a phenomenal soundtrack.

gonna have to give "i am sam" a listen. i've heard the sarah mclachlan "blackbird" cover and love it but not heard any of the others as far as i know.saw "the master" about scientology and a WWII vet recently. great soundtrack, very weird movie that i can't really recommend. the sound track is interesting as it's period from post war with cuts from singers like ella fitzgerald but then a lot of stuff written and produced by one of the guys from radiohead.

[Cugalabanza]

Box of Moonlight has a cool soundtrack...

 

Mexican Radio - Wall Of Voodoo

Red Right Hand - Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds

Blues Before Sunrise - Elmore James

Big Black Sky - Chaser

Too Much Tequila - The Champs

Carioca - The Fireballs

Wayward Nile - The Chantays

Lost Time Blues - The Chrome Cranks

Wheels Over Me - Die Haut

Gun Control - Tom Dicillo

 

And it's delivered in a cool way. The main character (John Turturro) rents a car and there's a randon mix tape left in there. The weird songs kind of guide him on his journey through the movie.

[IDBillzFan]

The Wedding Singer

 

I know it's popular to hate every Adam Sandler movie, but as a 1980 high school graduate, The Wedding Singer was freaking hysterical. The "Love Stinks" scene was great, especially when he starts pointing out people, including sideburns lady and "pretty much everyone at table 9."

 

Oh, and great soundtracks include Big Night, Little Mermaid, Leaving Las Vegas and Heaven's Prisoners.

[Wooderson]

Almost Famous also has an outstanding soundtrack:
