Mine is Gladiator. The Disney Tarzan soundtrack is great too. What are your favorite soundtracks?

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is my absolute fav.

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

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)

Kill Bill Volume 2! And I like the Carol (2015) soundtrack (totally not a lesbian).

I was a hipster in high school and I used to have Amelie on my iPod classic. Was such a tiny screen. :)

Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse

Not a movie but all 3 Beastars openings sound so good

[–] Deadful@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Mine is from the 1996 anime film X. It is based on a CLAMP manga and goes much harder than the poster would lead you to believe.

X Movie Wikipedia

The soundtrack complements the tone perfectly with its experimental and unsettling atmosphere.

X Original Soundtrack

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Queen of The Damned' soundtrack is the GOAT. That cd was far better than the movie.

I just watched Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure yesterday and though the soundtrack is not original, the soundtrack made the movie.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

The Mission 1986.

[–] cartography_cat@lemm.ee 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Vangelis, enough said.

[–] Aksamit@slrpnk.net 2 points 9 hours ago

Animatrix. It's been in my regular listening rotation for probably over 15 years now.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Dune (1984)

The Fifth Element

[–] the_dopamine_fiend@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Toto’s Dune score is objectively amazing, and also that one Brian Eno track was perfect. Good pick.

[–] the_dopamine_fiend@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

2001: A Space Odyssey. Ligeti scared the shit out of me as a kid, and I love it.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 6 points 12 hours ago
  • Tron by Draft Punk
  • Lord of the Ring
  • Interstellar
  • The Graduate
[–] urquell@lemm.ee 4 points 11 hours ago

Into the wild

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] jxk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Oh yes, I remember the Twin Peaks movie having the Cherubini requiem. Awesome stuff

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

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!

[–] huaxie@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

My favorite is the soundtrack to Princess Mononoke, composed by Joe Hisaishi.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Bad Company (Trevor Rabin)
Starship Troopers (Basil Poledouris)
Star Trek 2009 (Michael Giacchino)
The Mask Of Zorro (James Horner)

The Natural

[–] degen@midwest.social 1 points 8 hours ago

Hereditary solely for that ending banger. Or anything by Atticus Ross and/or Trent Reznor. I recently rewatched the Book of Eli and it feels dated, but THOSE SOUNDS.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 7 points 14 hours ago (5 children)

Either Pulp Fiction or Judgment Night.
