That Daft Punk Tron: Legacy soundtrack.
Gladiator is definitely up there. That or LOTR
Choosing is too difficult, it all depends on your mood in a given moment.
Some favourite OSTs:
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- Blade Runner
- Ghost in the Shell 1/2
- Pulp Fiction

- Six-String Samurai
- Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

- City of God / Cidade de Deus
- StrayDog: Kerberos Panzer Cops / Keruberosu: Jigoku no Banken
- Guest from the Future / Gostya iz budushchego (technically a mini-series)
- The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath! / Ironiya Sudbi, ili si Lehkim Parom
It follows. Disasterpeace did an amazing job on it.
Judgment Night - definitely wins in a debate about the biggest disparity between the quality of a film and it’s soundtrack.
Yes, the hip-hop & rock collaboration!
My memory of the film is not so negative, but then:
- I was a sucker for 90s action, especially with a hip-hop angle.
- It’s been three decades since I’ve seen it (but been listening to the soundtrack pretty much ever since).
My favourite mid-90s US heist movie soundtrack was Dead Presidents, a film that didn’t get a sequel but whose soundtrack album was so successful it did!
Admittedly not original compositions, more a “greatest soul hits of the 70s” compilation.
Picking just one is difficult. But the one soundtrack I’ve listened to from start to finish the most must be Conan the Barbarian by Basil Poledouris.
My local symphony regularly screens movies while playing all of the score, and I would LOVE if they would do Conan. Sadly, I think it’s unlikely, but I can dream! As far as I’m concerned, it is the Platonic ideal of an epic fantasy score.
Moon by Clint Mansell this soundtrack guided me through hundreds of hours of log reading from support tech days through sysadmin days.
It just falls to the background after a few minutes and becomes trance like.
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Second place is Man of la Mancha
Kinda partial to the Spawn soundtrack too, just because orf was pretty unique at the time
Natural born killers OST
Snatch is a fun one.
π is also very good.
Super Fly, by Curtis Mayfield
When it comes to Blaxploitation soundtracks, Isaac Hayes’s Shaft title track get all the attention, but it’s basically just Ike reading out the elevator pitch for the film over a riff (admittedly, one of the greatest riffs of all time), and the rest of the soundtrack doesn’t hold up nearly as well.
But Super Fly is a whole album’s worth of delving into and exposing the underbelly of life in the big city. A concept album with moving lyrics, great melodies and driving rhythms throughout.
Fight Club.
That Dust Brothers soundtrack stands well enough on its own.
Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain. Also my favourite movie.
It’s a close call between Highlander Batman (with Michael Keating) And the blues brothers
Once (2007)
