Which movie(s) do you think has the best soundtrack?
I think American Psycho has a good soundtrack and I listen to it occasionaly.
The Abyss really does something for me, can’t quite put my finger on it
Shrek 2, unironically
Also Sucker Punch and Tron Legacy
For me the criteria is: would the movie be very different with another soundtrack. The below offerings truly elevate their movies imo.
Tron Legacy
Blade Runner
Black Panther
-
Reservoir Dogs / Pulp Fiction / Kill Bill
-
Stand By Me
-
Dirty Dancing
-
The Lost Boys
-
Forrest Gump, hands down.
The blade runner soundtrack is my go to relax soundtrack. Have listened to it thousands of times by now.
No one mentioned Donnie Darko yet? Fanatic soundtrack.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has a fantastic soundtrack. Can really push a system to its limits.
Hackers
The prodigy!
The Matrix soundtrack is amazing
Tron Legacy, but that’s cheating as it’s essentially a Daft Punk music video.
The grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? Motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I’d never see. And then. One day. I got in…
and then it BEAMS
The Game has changed, Son of Flynn!
But to be honest: Its a good music video
Sadly not a good movie, though.
One of my favorite
American Beauty.
It’s the most autumn sounding OST I know, super moody.
Can’t believe no-one mentioned The Crow…
It can’t rain all the time.
The Matrix
O Brother Where Art Thou?
Forest GumpO Brother is great for some classic folk.
+1 for The Matrix. I once watched the film at a theater where the music was played live by an orchestra. One of my favorite movie experiences of all time. The soundtrack is incredible.
Rogue One. First time I saw it I was sure no one could hold a candle to John Williams. Then I watched it again and the way Michael Giacchino uses a half-step to underline the theme of hope gives me chills just remembering it.
