It was used in Platoon

Dusk till dawn.

Tarantino always picks great music but this soundtrack is a southern blues rock masterpiece.
With Plenty of SRV, ZZtop and Jimmiy Vaughan.

Cool and with humour too.
I used to used it as incidental muisic when I was doing bands on Big PA systems, and this soundtrack CD and "exhile on mainstreet" were the two I always used. They never get boring no matter how many times.

Hate to follow the pack but Pulp Fiction is really jolly good

O Brother Where Art Thou
Amelie

is it Shrek or Shrek 2 that has the wonderful version of Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright on it?

And, not really a movie as such but the soundtrack to the musical episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer is the aceness :)

"They got the mustard out!"

It's 'Shrek'. It's a wonderful version. I haven't seen the film, so I had no idea it was on the soundtrack. I found it alongside a live version of 'Careless Whisper' by Rufus Wainwright and Ben Folds - much better than the original :) .

I quite like the soundtracks to 'Grease' and 'Footloose' :blush: .

Twin Peaks

The Piano (and pretty much anything else by Michael Nyman)

So there's a way of getting hold of it without buying the Shrek soundtrack then? :o

Would be prepared to divulge such information?

BTW, your revelation about Grease and Footloose is, for some reason, the most astounding thing I've ever read on SF!

I seem to remember really loving the Christiane F Soundtrack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christiane_F._(album) as a kid. (I was a little weird punk!) But mainly, anything by this guy. (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=34174914)Especially The Mission.
But my favourite recent Soundtrack is from the film Breaking and Entering Hear the first two tracks on this page. (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=5550345&MyToken=b5ecbb4a-8a02-4822-8967-18ace7120546)

I think a good soundtrack should reflect the mood of the cinematography and the piece. All of my selections seem to have a commonality, although not at first obvious.

The first one perfectly reflects the dark cold war period of Berlin during the cold war; with the first track (an instrumental) a rather obvious nod towards Kraftwerk and the gloom and tensions within post war Germany.

The second is a composer who can amplify a cinematic moment with a single musical phrase. I cannot think of Angel Falls with out that soundtrack - just lush.

And finally, two musicians who wrote the soundtrack to my life for most of the nineties and were the highlight on the train-spotting soundtrack. Here they co write and produce a whole soundtrack with composer Gabriel Yared - and I love it. Definately showing the promise of more splendid things to come.:thumbsup:

Just about all Michael Nyman’s stuff – Piano, Drowning By Numbers, The Cook the Thief....and the Ravenous sound track he did with Damon Albarn.

Requiem for a Dream’s soundtrack is great.

Vangelis – Blade Runner, 1492.

Passion by Peter Gabriel from the Martin Scorcese film.

Event Horizon – Orbital and Michael Kaman.
