The greatest movie soundtrack in your opinion

Remember this jam in the theater?



ugh

I have bitten off more than I can chew
That scene hit pretty hard on the teen heart. Connected to core memories for a generation. Album tore up the charts with megahits.

To even compete with Daft Punk is an achievement.

I like movies where the musicians are it.
Or even about them
 
Howard Shore's work on Lord of the Rings is easily the greatest score in cinema history. Probably the perfect soundtrack that matches every scene in the trilogy to perfection.

I'm also a massive fan of Jóhann Gunnar Jóhannsson's work on Arrival. Haunting, beautiful and innovative, this is probably one of the best original scores to have ever graced my ears. Some of the tracks sound truly alien. Like something created on another world. Masterpiece.
 


Unironically One of the greatest. Vince Dicola synth in the album and the touch
Plus you get to watch the best transformer film ever. If they make this film Into a remake using the team from bumblebee it would be the best film you ever saw.

Ok how about this.


Aretha Franklin was in this film and ok the sound track. Great film. Watch it if you can.

One more



So good.

There aren't really any official versions of it all together as one cut, but they kept reusing the main melody of the vocal track "Misty Mountains Cold" in Hobbit and fuck it gets me every time it reappears. I'm still kinda disappointed they didn't use it for the dwarves big push out the gate at the final battle.



 
the movie Almost Famous has a wonderful soundtrack, but this part right here with Elton John's Tiny Dancer playing through it really hits it out of the park.


 
Movie soundtrack threads without mentioning Vangelis is a mistake..




Alexander is forgettable but this soundtrack is fire.





Also this is wonderful

 
Tron legacy's soundtrack is amazing but not the greatest.

Hans Zimmer's work on Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Interstellar, Inception, Thin Red Line, and Prince of Egypt is sublime.

But the greatest soundtrack ive ever heard is Alexander soundtrack by Vangelis. One of those rare soundtracks where nearly every track is amazing.

John Williams or Hans Zimmer...something something.

Honestly, Its probably Star Wars. Its hard to think of any music so iconic in cinema.
 
Hard to argue with Tron Legacy.

Tangerine Dream has a few soundtracks under their belt that are pretty good - Sorcerer, Thief, Risky Business, etc.

John Carpenter also has some strange ability to generate ear worms with really simplistic synth arrangements. The only reason I wouldn't put some of his soundtracks on top is most of his movies loop the same 5 themes over and over again.

I've always been fond of the Clockwork Orange soundtrack and Blade Runner. Both perfectly fit those movies.
 
Can't not mention Tomorrow Never Dies now you've got me thinking. Great arrangement and instrumentation, mixes KD Lang's closer -- Surrender -- expertly into the score, and compliments the action perfectly throughout the film. Amazing talent.
