Which movie(s) do you think has the best soundtrack?

I think American Psycho has a good soundtrack and I listen to it occasionaly.

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.

American Beauty.

It's the most autumn sounding OST I know, super moody.

I don't know that I could pick one, but Joe Hisashi's Studio Ghibli sound tracks are done of my favourites

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.

No one mentioned Donnie Darko yet? Fantastic soundtrack.

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

This is an old one, but:

The Mission, scored by Ennio Morricone.

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Lots of good ones here, I'll add some that haven't been mentioned: Sahara, Rango, both Sherlock Holmes movies, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, the JJ Abrams Star Trek's, The Incredibles, Godzilla 2014, The Road to El Dorado

  • Yellow Submarine (I think a lot of people either forget this movie exists, or write it off as a kids movie. You're missing out on a movie that could be considered as revolutionary to animation as the Beatles were to music.)
  • Back to the Future
  • The Muppet Movie
  • School of Rock
  • Bladerunner
  • The Matrix

There's probably other's, but that's what immediately comes to mind.

[-] Firipu@startrek.website 3 points 2 weeks ago

The blade runner soundtrack is my go to relax soundtrack. Have listened to it thousands of times by now.

I'm not seeing Oppenheimer mentioned , perhaps I'm in the minority here.

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Judgement Night - some of the greatest hip-hop & metal crossover songs ever made.

[-] BaumGeist@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

When I think of exquisite sound design, two of my favorite movies spring to mind: Stalker (1979) and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

The former has such a subtle soundtrack that it's almost like it's not there, but without it so much of the atmosphere of a movie that is heavily atmospheric would be lost.

The latter is just a perfect western with a perfect western soundtrack. The theme is well known, but L'estasi Dell'oro gives me chills every time it starts playing.

Batman Forever

[-] hate2bme@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

The Decline of Western Civilization

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Swingers has a great oldies/crooner soundtrack.

[-] mjhelto@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago
  • Schindler's List
  • Requiem for a Dream
  • Independence Day
[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] 7uWqKj@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Shrek 2, unironically

Also Sucker Punch and Tron Legacy

[-] durfenstein@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh just my thing.

  • Summer Wars
  • Kikojiros Summer
  • Dunkirk
  • Inception
  • Desert Rose

I have a lot of these on my shortlist. More series and even way more videogames

[-] Figbash33@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

The Fifth Element is probably the only soundtrack I have ever bought. The diva's aria is AMAZING!

[-] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has a fantastic soundtrack. Can really push a system to its limits.

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Baby Driver, The Third Man, anything by John Williams

[-] t_berium@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The Last of the Mohicans Once heard, you cannot escape its beauty.
