What are your best 3 movie soundtracks?

[Norman_Conquest]

Shawshank Redemption

Blues Brothers, Platoon and either Last of the Mohicans or Gladiator. Mind you, they might change by tomorrow. Reading this thread reminds me just how much a great soundtrack can add to a film.

Young guns 2
Top Gun
Trainspotting

 

[ForssAwakens]

Like your style, even though a bit of cheating going on. The classic music in Raging Bull is an absolute winner.

Raging bull is my favourite film of all time.

Is there a difference between the score and the soundtrack? Some films the score is the soundtrack, other films the soundtrack is a collection of songs. I went for soundtracks but there are some iconic scores.

 

[ForssAwakens]

Lord of the RIngs (all of them)
Inception
Trainspotting

By the way just give your ears a treat and wrap them around ThatCelloGuy's take on Time - Inception

I don’t know what it was about focusing on that but I feel really emotional at the moment.

Raging bull is my favourite film of all time.

It's brutally realistic, almost hard to watch, but brilliant.

Jeez, now I'm getting confused. It was hard enough picking 3 without the rules being changed. It's like Hamilton v Verstappen all over again.

I've enjoyed anything with Johnny Greenwood or Nick Cave/Warren Ellis involved.

On that note I watched Spencer last week, wasn't blown away by the film but Greenwood's soundtrack is absolutely incredible - weird Jazz/Classical fusion which arguably drives the film more than any of the on screen action.

Notable shout out for Mogwai's "Zero Zero Zero" soundtrack - not a film but amazing all the same and the only soundtrack I own in physical form (I think).

 

[Theboss]

Out of Africa
Schindlers List
Last of the Mohicans

 

[Anterimus]

Some brilliant ones on here. One not mentioned that is very underrated……
kevin and Perry go large.

 

[Right footed Left winger]

Rocky (probably 4)
Top Gun
Lost Boys

Christ I'm showing my age

This was my answer too. soundtrack to my childhood

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

What, still no mention of Bugsy Malone?

 

[Low_Key]

Star Wars
Return of the Jedi
Empire Strikes Back

end of thread

some honourable mentions
most tarantino films
blues brothers
godfather
goodfella
indiana jones

 

[Cress]

Underground ( the Serbian film)

 

[coluka]

Jaws
633 Squadron
The Pink Panther

 

[Jimmy_Salmon]

Rocky (probably 4)
Top Gun
Lost Boys

Christ I'm showing my age

Close! I’d change out Lost Boys for Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Honourable mention to The Good, the bad and the ugly.

 

[Beverleyred]

Indiana Jones
Star Wars
Deer Hunter (Cavatina)

Run close with:
Schindlers List, Superman and Never ending story.

I think John Williams features heavily here!

Oh! and the Bond Theme is worth a merited mention, especially the guitar solo.

Underground ( the Serbian film)

I Imagine the soundtrack to that is a nice light hearted, singalong type affair. just like the film...
