though I have a lot of favorite movie soundtracks and I also own a lot of them I must say that the soundtrack for The Good, The Bad and The UGly is my number one.
I'd probably go with the soundtrack for the first Crow movie with some Helmet, Rollins, just great stuff. The mashup soundtracks for Spawn and Judgment Day are also great (although the Blade soundtrack less so...), but if you want something off the radar, try the Empire Records soundtrack.
I've got a few favorite movie scores, but my top three would be Red Planet, Lord of the Rings (don't make me pick just one!), and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
@Axersia: yeah this was creepy the first time i heard it. Saw 1 was so cool and original. All the sequels really suck compared to the original. Well 2 was ok
Pixar's Up Soundtrack Lost Soundtrack Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Soundtrack Atonement Most anything John Williams has worked on Ratatouille (Giacchino should have won the oscar!!!!) Star Trek's is great Pan's Labyrinth Spirited Away Lord of the Rings
There's a ton of great things by Michael Giacchino.
@TheTerrifyer: Dude, a billboard-sized YES to the Savage / Fantastic Planet soundtrack. I love that record - I'm so dragging it out when I get home. Yer a freakin' genius, you are.
A few other faves, for the many moods of buzz_clik...
Blade Runner Fight Club Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels Interview with the Vampire The Man Who Wasn't There Akira Tetsuo: The Iron Man
The director does an amazing job of letting the soundtrack bring real emotional weight to each scene. It really makes you understand that these kids had to dance not because they wanted to, but because they had to.
Black Hawk Down and Gladiator have good ones too, but there not nearly as epic.
Something else that's just popped up on Shuffle to remind me how good it is: Solaris.
I've never seen the film (I'm talking about the Clooney version here), but one night I went to bed and left my housemate Adam to watch it. Later, at about 3am, I was half-dozing but hearing this lovely music drifting softly through the house. Eventually I became fully awake and realised that Adam had fallen asleep and the menu music had been looping for hours.
Observe and Report. O&R has plenty of excellent 70's and 80's Rock (including Queen, Patto, and.... The Little River Band). Also, every piece of music really fits and plays with the scene it's featured in; they're kinda like set pieces and they just.... connect.
also Snatch had some great music (Oasis' Fucking in the Bushes is epic)
