I still don't understand the difference between OST and soundtrack, but I'll try.
I like the music they used for near the end of 'The Man who was Superman'. I think it fit the mood pretty well, especially the time when the song changes, going from showing you what you naturally 'want' to happen to showing you what reality is.

the distinction that's being drawn in here is between a soundtrack and a "SCORE," which is original music--typically orchestral from what i understand--composed specifically for a movie.
SOUNDTRACK - rushmore, royal tenenbaums, magnolia, etc. etc.
SCORE - superman films, batman films, star wars, etc. etc.

A soundtrack is usually lyrical music (but not all the time) that was either written for a film by a band, but not an ORCHESTRA, or pre-existing songs that the director believes fits a certain scene or sequence well.
A score is dramatic music written exclusively for a film, usually performed by an orchestra and written by one or more composers that were hired for the film. For example, the new Friday the 13th movie score is by Steve Jablonsky, which is the music that appears only in that film alone; but you hear other songs during the movie like "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger that existed well before the film was shot. That's on the soundtrack release that came out this week which is NOT original music from the film. However, ON the soundtrack, the last track is "Friday the 13th Main Titles" by Steve Jablonsky. THAT is from the actual score.
Example: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Score: music for the film by John Williams, such as the music that plays during the jungle chase sequence in the film, or when the UFO is taking off at the end.
Soundtrack: "Ain't Nothin but a Hound Dog" (not sure if that's the actual song title) which plays during the opening sequence. It's a pre-existing song NOT written by the film's composer, John Williams.
The score and soundtrack are two different entities.

You should be shot. What they did to the White Album should be a crime and supporting what they did should be punishable by shooting. Not death, though. Just a round to the arm or something, w/a medic on standby.layzie1989 said:

I love a lot of the soundtracks here. Special props for Repo Man, O Brother and Run Lola Run.
But as it relates to the movie, nothing beats Goodfellas.
The actual album is missing some of the best stuff, however.

Absolutely!joelseph said:No mention of the best?
This brings me to "Sweet And Lowdon", which has an awesome Gypsy Swing Soundtrack:

I'll just go for the triple catchall and post say all of Sofia Coppolla's, Wes Anderson's and Cameron Crowe's movies.

Came in here to post this. I love this scene in Snatch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rQiIF9Fun4
Bumping this because WTF at Kill Bill Vol 1&2 not getting more than a couple of mentions. Not only fucking amazing selections but fuck awesome use of the music. One example is the The Bride's arrival to Tokyo in Volume 1. It blows me away how Tarantino synched the Green Hornet theme perfectly to that scene.

For me personally, QT's music choices and the subsequent marriage of them to his movie was done much better in both Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. I'll never forget RD's "Little Green Bag" intro or Mr. Blonde's "Stuck In The Middle With You" surgery. The KB movies dont really have that sense of resonance or "unforgettability" (yeah, I think I made that word up) with me.
Oh you guys seem to also add OSTs.
Anyway, while stuff from john williams, howard shore, hans zimmer is universally well accepted.
I'd like to say I enjoy OSTs by Thomas Newman (Shawshank redemption, american beauty, e.t.c.) who even with 10 oscar nominations, remains unrecognized in masses.

Absolutely. I was cruising on my bycicle the other day, with my ipod turned on and the soundtrack popped on. I instantly had a big smile on my face and enjoyed life more.Danielsan said:
Put on the entire soundtrack, I had forgotten how good it is.

Absolutely fantastic.
Surprised it took almost 50 posts for someone to mention the Hackers soundtrack. Absolutely brilliant. Another worthy of mention is Mortal Kombat. Has a great metal/techno soundtrack along with the odd scored track from the movie.
Kudos to mentioning 24 Hour Party People, too. But I'm a New Order/Joy Division freak, so that goes without saying

The OP would have been better off saying he was looking for non "original score" stuff. That's a bit more clear.Karakand said:
Some soundtrack albums are full of songs by various artists that are unique to that album, so it is called an Original Sound Track, but it's still what the OP is looking for here.
