Movie Soundtrack Albums
 

Before people started treating soundtrack albums merely as hip compilations of cool singles there were some great ones that could be treated as albums in their own right. Bernard Hermann's score for Taxi Driver is an obvious example of this. Anyone think of any more?

I'd go for "Easy Rider" - each song fits the film perfectly, and the album stands up in it's own right.

Wasn't one of the Goblin albums a soundtrack? Suspiria maybe?

Paint your Wagon
Oklahoma
Calamity Jane
The Sound of Music
Dirty Dancing.

I realise they're all as hokey as the hokey-kokey, but they're also amazing.

Glice - "Suspiria, Profondo Rosso, and Tenebrae are all Goblin gold. I'd actually pick Profondo Rosso as my own personal fave.

taxi driver . love that piece he puts on the turntable in the film

blade runner .vangelis at its best

Lost In Translation
Death Proof
Trainspotting

demonlover (of course)

that zidane movie.

Requiem For A Dream.

My wife has a pretty incredible collection of soundtracks. Especially original scores. The Goblin/Argento ones mentioned above are excellent. Also OPERA. And we have tons of horror film ones from 70's/80's that are amazing in their own right. Plus THE DUNWICH HORROR introduced me to the world of Les Baxter.

The soundtrack to The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is excellent.

The Fabio Frizzi soundtrack to "Zomie Flesh Eaters" (aka Zombie) is a firm fave here at Melly Towers.

I've always wondered, who is the Manuel at Melly Towers?

I would love to to have a collection of all the beautiful stuff badalamenti did for lynch movies

I cannot tell a lie.

It's Sarramkrop.
