Best Movie Soundtrack

Not much on soundtracks. Hi Fidelity & Dazed and Confused ( as listed above ) are good simply for remembering that time / era in my life. I wouldn't really call them "soundtracks" as i would normally think of soundtracks though.

Since i do like Celtic music, i'll have to dig up Patriot Games and Waking Ned Devine. On that same track, i've listened to Braveheart more than a few times. Surprised that nobody else mentioned it. I loved the movie too.

Since both i and my girlfriend like Peter Gabriel, we'll probably pick up the "last temptation of Christ" also. Thanks for the tips folks.

While not really a "soundtrack", some of the same music that they use in their stageshow can be found on Blue Man Group's CD entitled "Audio". With a "big drum" that is measurably taller than ANY man, you can count on bottom end that can REALLY shake the house. Besides that, it's worth the purchase just to see some of the funky homebrew PVC based instruments that they've created. Mostly percussion based, specific cuts on the disc work well to test / show off specific traits of your system also. I would not recommend "cranking" this up the first time that you listen to it unless you have complete confidence in the reliability of your system. Better to give it a listen and THEN adjust the volume accordingly. Sean

For pure sound quality. The Professionals..Hatari Mckenna's Gold...The 7th Voyage of Sinbad..Yhe Ghost and Mrs. Muir...Pink Panther...Casino Royale all on vinyl of course.

Again, I'm mostly disappointed by soundtrack albums....didn't care for the cheesy dialogue clips on Gladiator. Also, I don't think that the music has any soul on it's own...it was written for the movie it sounds like.

One movie soundtrack that I do love is The Mission. I also liked the soundtrack from Schindler's List. I remember that Platoon had a good one as well Those have to be the best to my feeble knowledge.

"Genghis Blues", blue me away.

i picked up this cd (the remastered version) based on a recommendation in "ultimate audio". i was blown away with the quality of the music. relaxed, yet detailed, it made me want to listen to the songs over and over, even though some of these songs i've heard so many times i've almost become immune to their brillance. it makes me want to tell the people repsonsible for this gem to just go off and finish remastering the whole beatles catalog. i'd buy every single cd if they did. great, great stuff.
