Seriously, any movie that sets a car/gun fight to Brighton Beach Rock has a good soundtrack. But again, Goodfellas is still the gold standard. Blues Brothers is an awesome soundtrack. Another good one is Wedding Singer. Love the 80s music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 3 hours ago, Gugny said: I think the music was definitely a big part of the movie, but it wasn't "the movie." On that note, I'll throw "Grease," in there with the same reasoning. It was far more of a musical than Purple Rain, but I still think it was more movie than musical. May as well include Mama Mia and Bohemian Rhapsody too, then. Hell, why not Tommy, or The Wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a transfer junior in my first year at Oswego when the movie and soundtrack came out so it was coming of age kinda thing for me. I may have to go either dig up that CD or download it lol And I think you meant Seven Mary Three!

The movie and storyline were junk, though. It was fictitious, corny and rushed. I'd much rather see Rami Malek star in a Netflix series about the life of Freddie Mercury. This way, no one has to try to fit multiple years' worth of facts into a 2-hour movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 The Brown Bunny the movie was best remembered for a certain scene at the end of it.... Regardless most would say it had a great soundtrack. Come Wonder With Me was on it. This song below as well. It was the first I became familiar with Gordon Lightfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Soundtracks which are mere compilations of previously released good music should not be considered for this thread IMO! A good soundtrack means entirely new music created for a single film and which fits into a certain theme. Any discussion of this type has to include John Williams score from Star Wars, as well as Vangelis from many movies, but I'd go with Blade Runner above others. It literally helped make the movie what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Youtube is filled with great soundtrack music. Check this compilation out from Vangelis' score from "The Bounty". It's really cool; I've listened to this video a bunch of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There certainly is a type of "soundtrack" which is just a compilation of previously released music not intended for use in film, but to me, that's not a soundtrack. It's cheating. The people that I love include: John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Alexandre Desplat, Vangelis, James Horner, and of course, Ennio Morricone. Many others, too. Writing a proper soundtrack is an art form, and these guys are geniuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both provide musical background to a movie; the score is written specifically FOR the movie, as I understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
