Which movie(s) do you think has the best soundtrack?
I think American Psycho has a good soundtrack and I listen to it occasionaly.
For me the criteria is: would the movie be very different with another soundtrack. The below offerings truly elevate their movies imo.
Tron Legacy
Blade Runner
Black Panther
I was just watching Tenet last night and the music kind of took me out of it sometimes because I was like, “Fuck, that music sounds awesome”, though not sure how well it will stand on its own, I’ve not tried that yet.
Easy rider
Bohemian Rhapsody
Yeah American Psycho does have a good soundtrack. Eyes Without a Face is great.
My vote is for Interstellar or some of the other Hans Zimmer ones
The Matrix soundtrack is amazing
Swingers has a great oldies/crooner soundtrack.
- Schindler’s List
- Requiem for a Dream
- Independence Day
Rogue One. First time I saw it I was sure no one could hold a candle to John Williams. Then I watched it again and the way Michael Giacchino uses a half-step to underline the theme of hope gives me chills just remembering it.
The Decline of Western Civilization
Batman Forever
Garden State
Tron Legacy, but that’s cheating as it’s essentially a Daft Punk music video.
The grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? Motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I’d never see. And then. One day. I got in…
and then it BEAMS
The Game has changed, Son of Flynn!
One of my favorite
But to be honest: Its a good music video
Sadly not a good movie, though.
The Matrix
O Brother Where Art Thou?
Forest Gump+1 for The Matrix. I once watched the film at a theater where the music was played live by an orchestra. One of my favorite movie experiences of all time. The soundtrack is incredible.
O Brother is great for some classic folk.
- Pirates of the Caribbean (personally, At World’s End has the best, Hans Zimmer)
