15. I cleaned out a garage this weekend to the sound of "Repo Man"

I was in suburbia, too. :) The neighbors across the street were out with their kids in their front lawn, and they were "treated" to loud punk. An old lady walked by the garage while "When the Shit Hits the Fan" was playing. It was quite priceless.

[MrSlayer]

13. The River's Edge , Gremlins 2, Dracula 2000

All featuring the gods of all Metal, Slayer.

[ixion]

14. Pulp Fiction, and Road to Perdition and O Brother Where Art Thou..

That Road to Perdition soundtrack is almost too beautiful to be a soundtrack, IMHO.


And the O Brother soundtrack gives me goosebumps!

[NWHarkness]

16. Where's Bernard Herrmann, folks?

He;s been dead for almost 30 years and his music is still being constantly recycled in films.

His best scores, in my opinion: Psycho, Taxi Driver, Citizen Kane.

[DenverDem]

17. Easy Rider

They just rereleased this one.

Yellow Submarine is pretty kewl, too. Make sure you get the one with the orchestral side. Later rereleases put more Beatles instead of, but the original is the way to go.

[Westegg]

18. Soundtracks and scores are different!

Carter Burwell's score for "Miller's Crossing" is great, Gabriel's score for "Last Temptation" is even better. Walter/Wendy Carlos' score for "A Clockwork Orange" is not to be missed. Other great scores? Vangelis/"Bladerunner"; Jerry Goldsmith/"Chinatown." The soundtracks ---i.e. a selection of (often) pre-existing songs---for many films are excellent, including "Pulp Fiction," "Dead Man Walking, "Jesus' Son" and "American Graffiti."

[BurtWorm]

23. A Clockwork Orange

is my all-time favorite score and soundtrack album.

"I wanna marry a lighthouse keeper and keep him company..."

[Butterflies]

19. Boys on the Side

[frylock]

20. dust brothers - fight club

Lalo Schifrin - Enter the Dragon
Lalo Schifrin - Dirty Harry

[Blue Gardener]

21. Grease and Jesus Christ Superstar

Am I showing my age with these choices? O' Brother Where Art Thou is great too.

[One Taste]

22. Gladiator, Ocean's Eleven, Braveheart

[Ricdude]

24. The Crow, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Electric Dreams.

[VOX]

25. Citizen Kane by Bernard Herrmann, To Kill a Mockingbird by Elmer Bernstein

and Lawrence of Arabia by Maurice Jarre.

These are among the greatest movies ever made, and their outstanding orchestral scores do everything to help achieve that status.
