What movie has the best soundtrack?


Recommended Posts

1) James Newton Howard has a ton of great soundtracks. One of my favorites is M. night’s Unbreakable.

 

2) Thomas Newman’s Shawshank soundtrack

 

3) hans summer’s Score to Christopher Nolan’s movie Inception makes that movie.

 

4) surprisingly good score is Alan Silvestri’s main theme in Castaway.

Where The Buffalo Roam... the original, not the crappy version after the license on the music apparently expired. I can't even watch that one anymore unless it's the original music.

When I've got big deadlines at work, I plug in the headphones and listen to all of these. It helps me concentrate. In the same vein, this Max Richter score in the movie Shutter Island is IMO, the best contemporary classical piece out there. His ability to build a sense of hope in an otherwise melancholy song in just beautiful.

Hmmmmm, that's a sneaky loophole you found there. I'll allow it and if we're gonna do that, I'll throw in Stop Making Sense as well.

 

Ehhhhh ... I don't like it.  But what the hell ... I'll submit The Song Remains the Same and Woodstock.

I understand. It was a bit out of the Cheatriots' playbook. So let me make it up to you.

A very solid choice. But if you want to include soundtracks from Musicals, I think South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut is one of the best.

listening to this now, I distinctly remember this soundtrack, but not much else about the movie. The music is good— really made that movie (which otherwise was pretty meh, at least based on what I remember at the time).
