God, I know we're talking about soundtracks here, but I watched Forbidden Zone with a friend who loved it. What a long 90 minutes that was. Shockingly boring.

A far better Forbidden in my opinion, both as a film, and for its soundtrack:

TEXAS CHAINSAW was on vinyl. Yes.

Another favorite of mine is Les Baxter's spaghetti western funk for HELL'S BELLES. So great.

Haha... Forbidden Zone BORING? I can see you maybe not getting into it or not liking it, but ... boring? Wow.

Anyway, here's a really obvious one that no one's mentioned yet:

wow. good call atsonic... havent thought about that since high school!

Well yeah, I mean it isn't boring in the way that some other films are, just one that I really couldn't wait to end, and just got bored silly waiting for it to.

Wow, sluuurp
mentioned it the other day in films ahead of their time as an honorable mention that didn't make the list

blah blah blah bleet blah

haha forbidden planet is the shit.

Forbidden Planet OST is amazing.
Some other favorites:
Logan's Run
Saragossa Manuscript (WHOA, is this good; this piece of vinyl is one of the jewels of my collection)
The Shining
The Fog has some cool parts
Rosemary's Baby

Some more will spring to mind later I'm sure; being at work isn't helping me think too well.

I love the way that, really and truly, the Forbidden Planet soundtrack is nothing more than a series of sound effects. It's like one of those BBC Radiophionic Workshop albums. One of the greatest things to fall asleep to.

Another good sci-fi one I think:

The Beatlejuice soundtrack was fucking awesome, gotta love those Harry Belafonte songs. Also StarWars obviously, but goddamn hot damn is it still so moving.

Royal Tennanbaums
Life Aquatic
Yellow Submarine
& Batman Returns are my other choices!

Lucifer Rising - Bobby Beausoleil

Also The Dark Knight was very good too, it cut out in the right parts just like in No Country For Old Men.

Yes!

You probably know this, but Jimmy Page originally did the music for this. I can't imagine his being any better than Bobby's...

the Proposition is great. I want the Jesse James soundtrack too.

this.

serge gainsbourg-canabis
any morricone- but honorable mentions go out to the dollars trilogy, sicilian clan, and many more that i have yet to hear.
julieta delnspiriti, and almost any nino rota OST
the wicker man
the 3rd man
brazil
from russia with love
superfly
and many more....

...or anything by Mothersbaugh for that matter!

The soundtrack to "Eraserhead" is simply incredible - Alan Splet and David Lynch did an amazing job on that.

Agree also with the choices for "Dead Ringers" and "Superfly". "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is simply peerless. Kenneth's Anger's films always have great soundtracks - he pretty much invented the concept of a "pop" soundtrack with "Scorpio Rising". To my eternal embarrassment, I actually managed to fall asleep during a screening of "Lucifer Rising" (at the end of a non-stop Anger retrospective in Hoxton). Must check that film out again as soon as possible.

I recall the soundtrack to "Tetsuo I" as being pretty phenomenal too.

It's not. I've heard it. Still pretty cool though; there's a copy of it at my work, but I can't afford it.
