Breakfast Club-Simple Minds and others
Cat People-w\David Bowie(LP)
White Nights-Lou Reed and others

Have Dracula and a few others that I have not reviewed yet.Breakfast Club I like alot. I generally only like a few tracks off any one soundtrack. If I like more than 3 it's a miricle,but I feel those 3 are really worth having!

Even back in grade school, when I got my first record player, my favorite music was always a film score. And that is still the case.

Right now, my favorite CD, the one that gets played more than any other, is the Gladiator soundtrack. I also enjoy Dances With Wolves (got it on SACD), and The Last of the Mohicans. I have a bunch of Telarc CDs with Erich Kunzel and they have all kinds of movie music--The Great Fantasy Adventure Album, Time Warp, Bond and Beyond. I think I have a few others. Any time I see one I get it. I also have a Denon DVD-A called Film Busters that has some of the same music but in hi-rez. And I always loved John Williams' scores, so I have a few of his CDs and just ordered the Indiana Jones music. And Peter Gabriel's score for The Last Temptation of Christ (which reminds me a bit of Graeme Revel's score for The Crow). And I love Danny Elfman's Batman theme.

As for soundtrack albums that have the songs used in the film, I've always loved The Crow, with the songs by The Cure, Stone Temple Pilots, etc.

What I hate is when a song if hyped up and associated with a movie, then you go watch, and the song is never in the movie, but maybe plays for a few seconds over the credits. What's up with that?

Oh, and I can't believe that there is somebody else in the world who liked Fastway's Trick or Treak soundtrack. I loved that! I only had it on cassette tape, which is now long gone. I think I'll have to go try to find it on CD...

A few have been mentioned already....

Dances with Wolves

Clannad's movie/tv music that gets a lot of replay)

Wshuff, you can pretty much always get the "Trick Or Treat" soundtrack on CD; I think even Amazon.com has it. I have most of Fastway's albums, as they were one of my favorites as a kid. IMO, if you like the music of ToT you oughtta try Fastway's "Waiting For The Roar" and "All Fired Up".

BTW, the movies is out on DVD, too.

Hey, now I've found the other guy that bought Fastway albums!

I heard Trick or Treat back in high school and became a fan of Fastway. My friends used to tease me and say that we all needed to like at least one crappy band. I ended up buying some of their other cassettes, including one if I recall correctly that had the song Heft from the Trick or Treat soundtrack. In about 1990 or 1991 I saw a Fastway album at K-Mart and bought it, but they had changed their sound and I didn't like it much. I didn't think about them much after the first few years of college, then I grew up and forgot about them. Thanks for reminding me!

Yeah, once Dave King left the band they pretty much sucked. "Bad Girls" was a crime against humanity

. I think King came back eventually but it was never the same.

I still listen to that stuff, maybe not as much as before, but I still do. Some of those bands are still around, and some of the music those guys are doing is even better than back in the "Hair Metal" heyday (eg George Lynch, Zebra).

If you like old school rap that laughs at itself:
Fear of a Black Hat soundtrack. Also, I hear it just came out on DVD. Spectacular. With songs like 'Booty juice' and 'P.U.S.S.Y.?', I think this album should be in everyone's collection.... Well, maybe not. But, it's a lot of fun.

Also there's some good stuff on the OfficeSpace album.

Is the score to Peanuts a 'soundtrack'? I really like that stuff... was it Dave Brubek? Awesome laid back stuff.

wshuff · « **Reply #28 on:** 29 Jul 2003, 08:12 pm »

I've got Brubeck's Peanuts stuff.

Also, I guess I should mention some of the first music I ever owned, on vinyl no less. The Superman soundtrack, the Star Wars soundtrack, and GREASE! Amazingly, I find that I still know most of the words to that one, at least as many words as I could make out when I was 8.

Hey,
Great topic! I don't have anything original but I really love the soundtracks from:

* Magnolia - strange movie but the Amy Mann soundtrack is excellent. I'm seeing her play live in August!
* Vanilla Sky - another strange movie with a great soundtrack
* The Beach - this is a cool looking movie and great sounding soundtrack with lots of good euro-techno music
* The Inkwell - funky, fun soundtrack
* Trainspotting - disturbing/funny but entertaining movie and equally strange soundtrack
* The Crow - I love to jam to the STP song (Big Easy). One of my favorite STP songs. Also, STP is one of my favorite live bands. Weiland may be nuts but he knows how to put on a show.
* Last Waltz - not technically a soundtrack, but the Band kicks ass and I had to give my props to Robbie and company

That's all I can think of...

I didn't care for the movie, but I really liked the soundtrack to "Meet Joe Black."

Also you can't go wrong with John Williams "Star Wars" soundtracks.

I really liked the music in "The Committments" too.

Harry Gregson-Williams The Chronicles of Narnia

Once, listening to The Battle on this soundtrack, one of my best friends jumped up from the sweet spot and started conducting the full orchestra, with conviction. He seemingly became a part of the music, for quite some time.
