One of my favorites has to he Big Lebowski. Well thought out and even some good music lover jokes tossed into the mix. 👍 Another of my favorites is Spun. Billy Corgan did the music on that film. Hard film to watch but great when you’re in the mood for some dark humor. Third mention would be Into The Wild where Eddie Vedder did the music for the movie. That one makes a good album all by itself as well.
I remember going to see FM and when the credits were coming up getting up to leave and Steely Dan came on sittting back down for one of the greatest sax solo I’ve ever heard. "FM - Reprise" - Steely Dan I stayed to the end. Left the movie theater and walked down to Disc-O-Rama and purchased the 2 record set. Wow.
Anything scored by Ennio Morricone. Once Upon a Time in the West is a classic. One of my most 'favorite' soundtracks is Electra Glide in Blue from James William Guercio. Gatefold will cool posters and a booklet. Skins
Someone mentioned Bernard Herrmann and I enthusiastically concur—especially Vertigo.
but I think my favorite sound track is from “Memories of Murder” as composed by Taro Iwashiro. It’s such an ecstatic marriage between music and story… also one of my favorite movies, as enhanced by its haunting soundtrack. If you like crime mysteries/thrillers, I highly recommend you see it.
desktopguy: Overall my vote for best is VERTIGO (Bernard Herrman). I listen to it once a month or so year round.
Thank you all for playing. The correct answer is of course Repo Man. However many of the other guesses are excellent.Â
In all seriousness, this thread has reminded me of how much movie soundtracks have contributed great music or fit so well with music culture. I've been collecting soundtracks on vinyl and they're just fun to look at!
