Henry & June is one of my personal favourites.

Also Morvern Callar (great book, never actually seen the film).

Dune by the same director.

And out of Morricone's, For A Few Dollars More is the one I listen to most.

Henry and June is an excellent choice actually.

Mark Adler also the supervised the music for Amadeus, composed The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and worked with Lynch on the Blue Velvet soundtrack and movie.

The Blue Velvet soundtrack is great, the film is the best ever. The Fire Walk with Me, Wild at Heart and Dune soundtracks are good. I don't know if the Dune sdtrk. would make a top 50, but definitely a top 100.

Singin' In The Rain of course.

Someone will have to mention the Kill Bill vol. 1 soundtrack since it has a Neu! song on it and because of that silly Ciccone Youth filler track.
Kill Bill vols 1 (gotta love the Nancy Sinatra and Bernard Hermann) & 2 are a decent soundtracks. But so are Reservoir Dogs & Jackie Brown. Pulp Fiction is the Tarantino movie that has the best soundtrack. I wish Quentin had gotten OOIOO to do some songs on Kill Bill vol. 1. That would have ruled.

Please, no one may now menion Reznor's Quake because I already have. It stinks and so does he, by the way.

Another Scorsese WINNER.

Of course there's the obligatory Goodfellas too in addition to the mentions I made for Last Temptation & The Last Waltz. But all his movies have great music, and that's why he's the best with music in all of film.

After Hours, the brilliant Scorsese black comedy, is a terrific soundtrack. So is The King of Comedy.

C'mon people.

Dig deep.

Oh well, here it goes:

Downtown 81

I'm tired of helping The Observer do their homework.

I think that is all for now...time for NCAA Baskeball and ATP Tennis later.

[afterthefact]

If we are talking film scores, Danny Elfman wins in my book, especially for Forbidden Zone. But as far as soundtracks being a collection of songs for a film, maybe Condo Painting. I've already told my wife when we move into our condo, we are definately painting it to this soundtrack. It would be rediculous not to.

[atari 2600]

Yeah, who could forget such classic tunes as "Weird Science" and "Dead Man's Party?"
Or his wonderful (gag) soundtrack work for Flubber, Mission: Impossible and Men in Black?

give me a break, "your book" is lame
keeping working though

he'll be helping with The Simpsons movie...hack-man does a lot of TV...

[afterthefact]

I couldn't tell if that was sarcastic or not, and by the end, I couldn't even tell what you were talking about at all, but... well, I don't know what to say really...

[atari 2600]

And that's really your failing, now isn't it?

I'm sick of this "Danny Elfman is great" nonsense that one hears (in this case, "runs across") all the time.

Look, Tim Burton made one truly great movie: Ed Wood. True, he's made lots of other respectable and entertaining ones, but I couldn't care any less about Elfman's association with my beloved Simpsons or John Hughes or his long relationship with the vampiric, beloved-by-geeks-everywhere Mr. Tim Burton.

Furthermore, on a greatest soundtracks of all-time list, Danny Elfman should rightly be nowhere to be seen. The above is a bulwarked-fact known to all persons of any refined taste or sense of modern aesthetics whatsoever. That you would come in after all of my posts and then ascribe yourself the supreme importance

of messenger-of-Elfman is par-for-the-course around this art-forsaken stink-factory. I cannot wait until all the labor-of-love work is done on Laurie's forum...just a few more months.

[auto-aim]

"Spun" though it would have been pretty awesome if it were released

What? What are you even talking about? I'm sorry that you feel that just because you don't like him, nobody else can either.

So, did you win? Did your use of many hyphenated words give you the feeling of having the upper hand? I hope it did, so at least you can sleep better tonight, knowing that you have enlightened everybody to what is and isn't good music. By your standards, anyways.

[atari 2600]

Pig-headedness will get you nowhere fast, afterthefact.

Now go listen to "Weird Science" on repeat like a good little automaton.

[demonrail666]

Bernard Hermann's Taxi Driver score is one of the greats.

His work for Taxi Driver, not so much...haha. Although, the scene where Travis watches American Bandstand for nearly the entirety of Jackson Browne's "Late For The Sky" is cinematic genius. Scorsese uses music better than anyone...
