Some of David Newman's stuff from Heathers is really good, I like that.

Individual songs:

"Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds, from The Breakfast Club.
"Oh Yeah" by Yello from Ferris Buellers Day Off.
"Wake Up" by Rage Against The Machine from The Matrix.

"Oh Yeah" seems to fit in really well with Ferris Bueller's Day Off, especially when you see the Ferrari for the first time - Ohh yeaaaahhh...  And as for Don't You, whenever I listen to that, all I can think of is John Bender's fist in the air, in his own little celebration  Oh and We Are Not Alone by Karla DeVito seems to fit in with that film as well, when they're all dancing

Let's see...my favorite song/music from a movie, what would that be?

The Pulp Fiction Soundtrack, and as single song, 'Jungle Boogie'.

In my opinion it's a million times better than all those Goldsmith/Hans Zimmer, whatever stuff because it's got something called STYLE!

If I had to choose an orchestal soundtrack, I'd take the one from 'The Mummy', by Goldsmith I think it was.

The Resident Evil theme is also good, in it's category of music, but all that is nothing compared to the soundtrack of Pulp Fiction.

I hated the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, It was to simple, not instrumental and sometimes but just sometimes it was good.

I like Thomas Newman.
The Green Mile
Road to perdition
Little Women

Howard Shore.
TTT
LOTR

Danny Elfman
Batman

John Williams
Star Wars

David Julyan
Memento
Insomnia

I don´t know many composers.

I can't believe I forgot to mention Ennio Morricone! His western themes were fantastic, as was The Mission ST.

Rage Dump: I have that PM5K song as "Propellerheads - Spybreak" in Winamp.   

That is the song during the lobby shootout, I think the composer mentions that in his audio comentary.

I am also compelled to add to my list of favorite movie soundtracks Ronin and the Harry Potter series.  I actually am starting to believe that the first HP film's soundtrack is easily one of Williams' best works.  I love the way the main theme can seamlessly move from haunting and eerie to distressed and almost scary.  There are also moments throughout the rest of the soundtrack that range from beautifully pastoral, to violently active, to heroically triumphant.  I own several soundtracks by John WIlliams, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the only one I enjoy listening to from start to finish.

The theme from American Beauty is nice.

Rob Dugan's 'Clubbed To Death' from The Matrix is awsome, definitely one of my favorite pieces of cinema music, as is the 'Imperial March', but everyone says that.

I'm listening to this right now...

Making Christmas - The Nightmare Before Christmas.

A friend reminded me of this movie the other day, and the song does rule.

"Watch as I transform this dead rat into the most delightful hat..."

[Reply #56 on:]

Has anyone notice on the film Donnie Darko at the end, where they play 'Joy Division - Love will tear us apart'. It says it on the end credits, though it sounds completely different to the 7" Vinyl Single & on the complimation, Substance. Is it remixed or is it a original?

Who's PM5K? They didn't do any of the main tunes on The Matrix, that I have.
But there's good stuff in those films.

Powerman 5000....cool band they rock....!
I didn't know they did the Matrix theme either but woooo....!

Thr music in the Transformers movie rules....

[Reply #58 on:]

I find the Pulp Fiction soundtrack addictive.

My favorite scores come from Howard Shore and Danny Elfman. Hans Zimmer has a couple of good ones.
 But my favorite score is, definitely, the Lord of the Rings trilogy followed by Schindler's List by Williams.

[Reply #59 on:]

I've been listening ot a few more scores and have found a few more I love.
Jin Roh OST by Mizoguchi Hajime (I especially like the ending theme Grace just so good.)
Escaflwne the movie OST by Yoko Kanno.
Cowboy bebop the movie OST by Yoko Kanno.

I'm sure there will be more as I get more sound tracks 

[Reply #60 on:]

For some reason i love movie soundtracks, some of my favourites are Finding nemo, The nightmare before christmas and Jurrassic Park

[Reply #61 on:]

How come nobody mentions The Last Of The Mohicans??

Also: Braveheart, Star Wars and Moulin Rouge (Especially the Elephant Love Medley)

[Reply #62 on:]

Eric Serra did some great stuff on Goldeneye, Leon (aka, Ze Proffesional) and The Fifth Element.

"Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News from Back to the Future.

"Die Another Day" by Madonna from Die Another Day

To continue the John Hughes theme...

In Some Kind of Wonderful, I love how "Catch My Fall" by Billy Idol starts to play whenever Duncan enters a scene.

I also like the scene where "Miss Amanda Jones" by the Rolling Stones plays while Amanda, Keith, and Watts are all getting ready to go out.

Playing "Can't Help Falling In Love" by Lick the Tins as the ending credits roll is great too.

[Reply #65 on:]

Rushmore is a movie that makes great use of its soundtrack. The "You are Forgiven" scene is especially good (in fact, I think it's great).

[Reply #66 on:]

I love the song used at the end of the Luc Besson film Leon. The song is Shape Of My Heart by Sting, and it fits the ending really well 

[Reply #67 on:]

Grimlins theme song,Grimlins singing Hi Hoe and Brain Grimlin singing"New York,New York"

[Reply #68 on:]

I liked the militiristic themes in The Rock (Hans Zimmer) and Starship Troopers (Basil Poledouris).

[Reply #69 on:]

I'm suprised no-one has mentioned The Blues Brothers soundtrack (either that or I'm sad)
So that soundtrack is my favorite, except jailhouse rock, which is still good, but not as good.

Also the theme music from the films :
Predator
A fist full of dollars
For a Few Dollars more
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, timeless classics mon.

[Reply #70 on:]

'Can you feel the love tonight' by Elton John, from the Lion King, is my personal movie favourite. It is a truly beautiful, emotional song.
The whole Lion King soundtrack by Tim Rice and Elton John is one of the greatest of all time.
I also really love 'Streets of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen. Hearing that song sends shivers up my spine.

[Reply #71 on:]

John Willams music in Indiana Jones and Jaws
are spectacular! 

[Reply #72 on:]

Where is My Mind by the Pixies (from Fight Club) is my favourite song of all time.

[Reply #73 on:]

"Be Prepared" from The Lion King. That song is just cool. Actually, I love all the songs except for "Morning Report" from the new version.

[Reply #74 on:]

"Springtime for Hitler" from The Producers.

[Reply #75 on:]

I love the music on Donnie Darko. I especially like it when Donnie gets off the bus and the school scene is introduced and Head Over Heels by Tears For Fears is playing 

[Reply #76 on:]

The sound track of THE TITANIC is awesome!

I think it is an original. I just caught the video on VH1 Classics and it sound the same.
I doubt that they would remix it but I could be wrong.

Fave Song/ Sound tracks
Don't you (forget about me)-Simple Minds (from The Breakfast Club)

The Lion King Soundtrack (the original 1994 release not the new one)

School Of Rock

Batman

This is Spinal Tap

and of Course The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Joy Divison - 'Love will tear us apart' plays when the Halloween party is on. I was thinking of 'Mad Mad World' sung by Gary Jules, I said the wrong song and the wrong time. My apologies.

[Reply #79 on:]

I also like the Space Jam soundtrack and The songs Will Smith does in his movies.
