Best Movie Soundtrack

Music composed originally & specifically for a movie qualifies, in many opinions, as a "soundtrack"....rather than a collection of artists singing their songs. "Horse Whisperer" is kind of in between, Winoguy17, since I have not heard, for example, Iris Dement perform "Whispering Pines" anywhere else. This collection of songs used for Redford's fine film production is a delight...especially on HDCD...(one of the best realizations of the HDCD subcode to surface)....and I'm pleased that you posted it...RECOMMENDED!

'Requiem for a Dream' is a really good recent one. Angelo Badalamenti's 'Twin Peaks' and 'Lost Highway' are great. Trent Reznor produced sndtrks and, 'Trainspotting', and 'Doom Generation', also excellent. 'Showgirls' has some good cuts.

Check out Wild Things. I loved the music on the Gladiator soundtrack, but the palcement of instruments IMHO was awful. Therefore, I really don't listen to it anymore.

Ry Cooder's Paris, Texas. For that matter, any of his soundtracks.

I second Amiee Mann's "Magnolia." If you like Lucinda Williams and you haven't heard this, or seen this crazy movie, you should fix that.

The soundtrack I listen to most is from "Waking Ned Devine." Music by Shaun Davey. Very, very good. (Excellent movie as well.)

Ry Cooder is bad to the bone. I would almost watch that mediocre movie "Southern Comfort" again, except I don't have to 'cause I bought "Music By Ry Cooder" which gives me my fix on his excellent movies scores.

Enjoy!
