Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One

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 will second Rush (Eric Clapton)

Another, which was panned by critics, but I love

Angel Heart 

Trevor Jones & Courtney Pine, along with Bessie Smith, Brownie McGhee

Awesome......

Out of Africa

Cinema Paradiso

Last of the Mohegans  

 Generally not really into sound tracks much, but since you asked:

 The Horse Whisperer 

The Point       Harry nilsson

2001 A Space Odyssey 

Barry Lyndon

Dr. Zhivago

Fantasia

BATMAN - go with a smile :)

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.

Garden State

Elizabethtown

Until The End Of The World

Win, lose or draw there are a lot of great suggestions here. Terrific memory jogger too :-)

Inception.  Hans Zimmer score.  Very Wagnerian.

The Commitments

There are a lot of good suggestions here, but @re-lar-kvothe has it right.

Best all-time movie soundtrack album is from The Blue Brothers. Can’t beat "Minnie the Moocher."

2001 for existing music.

Gone with the Wind or North by Northwest for original score.

@russbutton What a great call on that tune, Mini The Moocher

By Cab Calloway from Rochester NY, a few miles from me. 

"The Hot Spot", an interesting soundtrack featuring Miles Davis and John Lee Hooker. The movie itself (with Don Johnson) was mediocre. Music is redolent of the 1957 soundtrack to "Ascenseur pour l'échafaud" (also highly recommended).

Victory at Sea - dramatic

1917 - haunting

To Live and Die in LA - simply a blast

Out of Africa- romantic, pensive

Dances with wolves. John Barry. 

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

Cadillac Records.

Goodfellas.

Reservoir Dogs.

The Last Waltz.

The Jazz Singer.

JAWS (humor) 

The Blues Brothers

The Crow

Last Action Hero

..in that order

For jazz lovers, this is an easy question:  Sharkey's Machine!

Interstellar - and the making of featurette is amazing

Ennio Morricone. - Once Upon A Time In America

Shaft, because I like to break the rules.

“Hi Fidelity” with John Cusak and Jack Black.

The Good, Bad, and Ugly

was Ennio Morricone, Fatman. 
 

Ennio Morricone was so talented he scored some 200 films in his lifetime. 

Top Gun
Top Gun Maverick
Forrest Gump

Lawrence of Arabia & Dr. Zhivago

+1 @grinnell Repoman

Overall my vote for best is VERTIGO (Bernard Herrman). I listen to it once a month or so year round.

Runner up would be the terrific Johnny Mandel composed soundtrack to I WANT TO LIVE, with Jerry Mulligan, Art Farmer, and others. Wonderful music.

OK, another runner-up: Ellington's great soundtrack for ANATOMY OF A MURDER.

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.

🙌🏼

I go back and forth between 1 & 2.  Both are very strong. Also added #3  as an honorable mention. It is very good. 

1. Interstellar - Hans Zimmer

2 . Blade Runner - Vangelis

3. Solaris - Cliff Martinez

Best soundtrack: O Brother Where Art Thou

Best Movie: Paris, Texas

Guilty Pleasure: A Knight’s Tale

Purple Rain Prince. Superfly Curtis Mayfield

Lawrence of Arabia- Maurice Jarre

The Last Samurai - Hans Zimmer

Thank you all for playing. The correct answer is of course Repo Man.  However many of the other guesses are excellent. 

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!

If you like Bluegrass music this soundtrack is outstanding!

The Pink Panther

Vertigo- Bernard Herrmann

Taxi Driver

The Departed

It’s difficult to split between Oliver! (1968) and West Side Story (1961).

Bart v Bernstein and Sondheim.

I’ll go for Oliver!

Lionel Bart was a natural musical genius if ever there was one.

What was the movie with Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson?
