it's just amazing

No contest.

is nice.

Beautiful.

for the classical style win.

For more modern stuff I think Clint Mansell (ex PWEI) is 'the man'. Pi in particular is amazing, tracks by Massive Attack, aphex twin as well as Mansell himself.

His stuff with Mogwai on 'the fountain' OST is pretty damn good as well.

Without a doubt

Average film, amazing soundtrack.

There Will Be Blood is pretty great, too.

Honourable mention to Dead Man for self-indulgence.

is pretty great

Oh and Inland Empire.

going off track a bit, I was thinking how great Portishead would be at doing a soundtrack when I saw them last month. The live show was like the soundtrack to an endlessly bleak post-apocalyptic film

.

Little Miss Sunshine are two recent films that have soundtracks that fit the film perfectly, especially This Is England.

Did a compilation of songs from soundtracks (called "The Score") a few years back which I listen to every now and again. It has an amazing song from Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song which isn't on the OST, also a great version of Let it Be by Nick Cave (forgotten which film from) and God Moving over the Face of Water by Moby (as used in Heat and a number of other films). Plus a number of great tracks (Frankie Machine being one from Man with the Golden Arm). The tracklisting is available here: http://tinyurl.com/6jaom7

All done by The RZA. Its fantastic.

and anything by Hans Zimmer.

Empire Records!

so over the top i want to cover myself in glitter and roll around with drag queens.

by a mile.

I'll fight anyone who says otherwise

Fookin' class

mountain

all about lily chou-chou

Amazing soundtrack - remember walking home one night in the early hours with it on my headphones - possibly the most epic walk home I've ever had.

Also Ghost Dog, as mentioned above though lots of good stuff on the film didn;t make it to the soundtrack CD

That soundtrack is indie-tastic!

and, yes, This is England has a fantastic sound track actually.

Score - The Assassination of Jesse James

Soundtrack - The Crow

Virgin Suicides - Air
Bladerunner
You Me & Everyone We Know - Micheal Andrews
Tekkonkinkreet - Plaid
Requiem For A Dream
Pump Up The Volume (my teenage favourite)

The Fountain
Requiem for a Dream
Memento
Lost Highway
2001: A Space Odyssey
Garden State
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

- Harold Faltermayer.... Captain Freedom's Workout is the best shit ever

or The Fountain. I got the 30 Days Of Night soundtrack after seeing the film a while back and it still gets regular listens and regularly gives me the willies so an honourable mention for that too.

.

foghat and kiss? i think so.

Eternal Sunshine For The Spotless Mind
Blade Runner
Virgin Suicides
Lost In Translation

..hauntingly beautiful

face it, it deserved those oscars! (i do agree with many things other people have said)

also, the music in Mirrormask makes me love that film all the more <3

is my all time favorite
la dolce vida is pretty good, both scores done by nino rota.

soundtrack definitely has to be rushmore

tend to have great soundtracks, even though the movies are generally terrible.

Personal faves:
Willie Hutch - The Mack
James Brown - Black Caesar
Marvin Gaye - Trouble Man
Curtis Mayfield - Superfly

Jackie Brown has a great OST too.

by Robin Budd and Harold Guthrie.

It's sublime in every way, one of the most beautiful pieces of music.

Chilling and oddly heartwarming at the same time.

ftw!

Friday Night Lights - Explosions in the Sky
Zidane - Mogwai
Royal Tenenbaums
Donnie Darko
Life Aquatic - especially staraflur at the end
Lost in Translation
Thumbsucker - Elliott Smith/Polyphonic Spree
The Cat Returns - there is this awesome song called Kaze Ni Naru by Ayano Tsuji during the ending credits

Friday Night Lights
Anything by Wes Anderson

is really frickin' odd and over-long in places, and well 80s, but still quite amazing in others.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

It's Easy Rider.

But O Brother Where Art Thou is an acceptable answer.

I love his work for Goodbye Lenin, I think it's underrated considering how much people go on about the Amelie OST.

Twin Peaks:Fire Walk With Me

I think it is the only time Tim Burton DIDN'T use Danny Elfman and it rules.

Howard Shore
