Best Movie Soundtracks

Pink Flamingos
Swingers
Swing Kids
Pulp Fiction
Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore

oh and of course Spinal Tap and Fear Of A Black Hat...but that goes without saying

cant forget natural born killers
great stuff

Clint Mansell's score for 'Requiem for a Dream'

Carter Burwell's score for 'Hamlet'

Michael Nyman's score for 'Gattaca'

yumyumyum

Natural Born Killers had some good Leonard Cohen.

My all time favourite soundtrack has to be The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Superbly atmospheric.

Girl, Interrupted was pretty good too.

Yellow Submarine on DVD has some tracks remixed/remastered to use full surround sound instead of just stereo... sounds fantastic, they did a great job.

Rushmore also has a great soundtrack.

what about spawn..??

i really like the deadman soundtrack, and i'm not even a neil young fan...it's just a steel hollowbody guitar and it's all tragic and rebellious and haunting. beauty!

Oh Man!! How could I forget Hedwig??!! Agree. That soundtrack is great!!

The Spawn soundtrack is for the most part bland and occasionally painful (Orbital's "Satan" featuring Kirk for example).

I was fond of Marilyn Manson + Skinny Puppy's "Long Hard Road Out of Hell" though, and I even put it on a mix CD once.

I can't believe that no one's mentioned Donnie Darko or The Nightmare Before Christmas yet.

The Nightmare Before Christmas was brilliant. Perfect, in fact.

Yah... the donnie darko soundtrack is great, especially if you were a product of the 80's

the soundtracks to any of the kevin smith films are pretty kick-ass... and as for Donnie, the scene where they arrive at school and 'head over heals' by Tears For Fears is the background....genius.

Doood. See my Elfman comment above.
You are correct. It kicks ass.

Royal Tenenbaums' was great.
Also:
American Beauty
Steal This Movie

Rushmore
Trainspotting
