One of the great gaming songs ever.

6. A salute to bad asses

It's a shame he's no longer with us. I can't think of a better composer for John Carter of Mars.

[gratuitous]

3. Welcome to L.A.

Legendary soundtrack, total dreck movie. My college roommate had the soundtrack (which you could only get through a studio connection), and I loved it. I listened to it over and over. Then the movie was on Cinemax or Showtime about a decade later, and I just had to see it. Sweet Jesus, I would rather run white hot knitting needles through my eyeballs rather than do THAT again. I haven't heard the music in ages, but I can still remember lots of the tunes and lyrics. Every now and then, I check to see if it's in print somewhere (it isn't). I would pay several dollars for a CD.

4. Fifth Element

Koyaanisqatsi
Powaqqatsi

All equally as powerful as the movies :)

[LynneSin]

7. Love the "Sliver" soundtrack but the movie is beyond sucky

Other soundtracks that I love (and enjoy the movie) include "Inception", "Marie Antoinette" and "The Mission"

8. "Heavy Metal" better than the movie

Saturday Night Fever-better than the movie
Dazed and Confused-it's a tie :)

[curiousabout...]

9. Spirit

The cartoon about the horse. Movie...eh...soundtrack is amazing

[Kat45]

10. Crossroads (the blues movie, not the Brittany Spears one)

Excellent blues soundtrack by Ry Cooder.

[bluesbassman]

13. Second that. Ry Cooder nailed that one.

The movie was ok, Joe Seneca and Joe Morton pretyy much carried it, but the head-cutting duel alone was worth watching the film.

[Kat45]

19. Yup. Steve Vai played some blistering guitar there. n/t

[cemaphonic]

11. The Mission

Actually, Morricone has created a bunch of great scores for some pretty mediocre movies.

12. Field of Dreams

Actually the movie isn't bad/ Just pretty sappy. Also, the original Batman movie=soundtrack by Danny Elfman. And the OST to "Local Hero" by Mark Knopfler is as good as the movie.

[Brother Buzz]

14. Rockers

The soundtrack is superb but the flick fell short of what it could have been. Would have, could have, should have.

Side one

1. "We 'A' Rockers" (Ian Lewis, Bernard Harvey) - Inner Circle
2. "Money Worries" (Wilson) - The Maytones
3. "Police and Thieves" (Junior Murvin, Lee Perry) - Junior Murvin
4. "Books of Rules" (Barry Llewellyn, Harry Johnson) - The Heptones
5. "Stepping Razor" (Joe Higgs) - Peter Tosh
6. "Tenement Yard" (Jacob Miller, Roger Lewis) - Jacob Miller
7. "Fade Away" (Earl "Chinna" Smith) - Junior Byles

Side two

1. "Rockers" (Neville Livingstone) - Bunny Wailer
2. "Slave Master" (Gregory Isaacs) - Gregory Isaacs
3. "Man in the Street" (Coxsone Dodd) - Rockers All Stars
4. "Graduation in Zion" (Frank Dowding) - Kiddus I
5. "Jah No Dead" (Winston Rodney) - Burning Spear
6. "Satta Massagana" (L. Manning, D. Manning, B. Collins) - The Abyssinians
7. "Natty Take Over" (Justin Hines, Michael Roper) - Justin Hines & the Dominoes

17. soundtrack.

My favorite soundtrack by far is "2001: A Space Odyssey" — partly because I love the music, but also because it's one of the very first albums I listened to when I was a kid, and it had a major influence on my interest in music. Now, that record is a strange example, though — it's orchestral music, but it wasn't written for the film.

18. I hate soundtracks that are just a bunch of popular songs.

I think that's the easy way out. I really like original soundtracks that are scored for a movie. Way more effective. And the best ones are the OSTs that you don't even notice. A great example is "The Insider". I liked it so much I bought it--which I rarely do!

20. The Blues Brothers.

The sountrack made the movie.

I also like:

Toy Story
Grosse Pointe Blank
Ocean's Eleven-Thirteen
