Film with the best soundtrack?

Which film do you think has the best soundtrack?

Personally I think hackers, even knowing the film was very fake, I really enjoyed it, and the soundtrack fits brilliantly.

Which is it for you?

Transformers

I really liked the Donnie Darko soundtrack, some classic tracks on it. Dumb and Dumber had quite a fun soundtrack. I'm trying to avoid the cliche that is mentioning a Tarantino film.

I think it can make a film much more enjoyable when they have selected an excellent soundtrack to go with it, even if a few songs are a bit naff.

"Dare, dare to believe you can survive." :cool:

Are you talking about original soundtrack, choice of songs for a soundtrack, or both?

As far as original soundtracks are concerned "Last Of The Mohicans" is stunning.

'Dazed And Confused' is certainly a favourite of mine.

Gladiator.

Also the entire Star Wars trilogy.

I'd have to say American Beauty. It's certainly not full of number one hits or even famous songs/tunes but some of the tracks are just fantastic.

american beauty is great
garden state also

The Crow, loved the soundtrack so much, i bought it.

Top Guns got quite a good one, especially the opening sequence.

Also quite like the Kill Bill: Volume 1 soundtrack.

StarWars would also be up there, any of the films, the score is always great.

Woulld be a struggle to pick and absolute favourite - but would probably be StarWars because the soundtrack is such a significant part of the atmosphere in those films.

American Beauty and Snatch

Zefan · 24 Apr 2006 at 14:23

Oh I almost forgot, Final Fantasy: Advent Children.

I agree, also; Star Wars, Pulp Fiction and The Piano.

Rocky needs a mention.

As do Platoon and Apocalypse Now.

Can't believe I didn't mention those.

Pinhead · 24 Apr 2006 at 15:24

watched the matrix last night for the first time in ages. Definately needs a mention here

Blade or Gone in 60 seconds.
The Beach , although a rubbish film , also has a strong soundtrack.

Nix · 24 Apr 2006 at 15:29

Platoon
LoTR
Apocolypse Now
Gladiator
Transformers

How on earth did I overlook these gems?

Me too.

It's a pity the sequels weren't up to very much.

Off topic/ If this applied to TV series, My Name Is Earl and The Sopranos would be up there as well.
