What's your favorite movie soundtrack?
(lemmy.world)
Tron 2. Daft Punk without lyrics is perfect for me.
Oh Brother Where Art Thou is a good one.
A few of my favs, in no particular order:
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
- Tron: Legacy
- Oblivion
- Gladiator
- Star Wars (especially Episode I)
- Interestellar
- Cosmos
- Blade Runner
Vangelis, enough said.
- Conan The Barbarian by Basil Polidouris
- Aliens by James Horner
- The Good The Bad And The Ugly by Ennio Morricone
Trainspotting
Hackers
Atomic Blonde
Go
Grease
The Big Lebowski
The Crow
Mary Poppins
A few that spring to mind...
Vertigo
Psycho
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Mulholland Drive
All 3 LOTR films
Star Wars OT
Indiana Jones (especially Raiders)
The Sweet Smell of Success
Oh yes, I remember the Twin Peaks movie having the Cherubini requiem. Awesome stuff
Ah, I never knew what that piece was. It's fantastic though, a perfect fit along with all of Badalamenti and Lynch's music.
My particular favourite is the weird drone of The Pink Room, turned up loud, but it's all good!
2001: A Space Odyssey. Ligeti scared the shit out of me as a kid, and I love it.
Dune (1984)
The Fifth Element
Toto’s Dune score is objectively amazing, and also that one Brian Eno track was perfect. Good pick.
Either Pulp Fiction or Judgment Night.
Judgement Night is awesome!
Fuck yeah. Soundtrack is better than the movie. Lol
Ah, I've always had a soft spot for Emilio. He was just in so much stuff I watched back in the day. Anything he's in gets an ok from me, even if it isn't that great. 😉

I too like subjecting my neighbors to hours of Philip Glass albums.
My favorite is the soundtrack to Princess Mononoke, composed by Joe Hisaishi.
Pump Up The Volume
Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and Footloose are probably my favorites of all time. It's really hard to find soundtracks with a better collection of absolutely amazing songs imo.
The score for Star Trek II: the wrath of khan is absolutely amazing
James Horner nailed the starship motif. I enjoy the various other composers' works as well, but Horner is my top for Trek.
Howard Shore for all the Tolkien work. His music alone will paint the image of Middle Earth in my head.
And Hans Zimmer has some stuff I love, like Time, but he did his best job imo for Dune.
Already lots of LOTR & Tron: Legacy here. Not seeing much love for animated film scores, so on that note & in no particular order:
- How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, 1 is personal favorite
- Kung Fu Panda trilogy, 2 is ~~so fucking good oh my god~~ personal favorite
- The Lion King (1994)
- Spirited Away
- My Neighbor Totoro
- Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
- The Super Mario Movie
- Finding Nemo
- Up
A couple of these have great soundtracks, too, but I do love a good score.
Highlander
Animatrix. It's been in my regular listening rotation for probably over 15 years now.
To Live and Die in LA by Wang Chung is another great one that hasn't been mentioned yet
Into the wild
Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse
Not a movie but all 3 Beastars openings sound so good
Haven’t seen anyone mention Cinema Paradiso or The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Both are wildly different. Ennio Morricone is a genius.
There’s also The Incredibles - Michael Giacchino
The Greatest Showman - Various Artists
Saving Private Ryan - John Williams
The Prince of Egypt - Hans Zimmer
The Gospel of John - Jeff Dann (great middle eastern vibe)
Gross Pointe Blank
Tron Legacy
The Crow
Shrek 2
Sucker Punch
Amélie
