Really good soundtrack albums

[Tom]

I know soundtrack albums have a poor press, but songs such as Randy Crawfords 'Streetlife' and 'Cinema Paradiso' definitely have a home in my record collection.

Can anybody suggest some really good 'sink into your sofa' soundtrack albums? Ones with no cruddy fillers.

I've been told that the Kill Bill soundtrack (extended edition for preference) is good, but I haven't tried it personally...

 

[(Shovel)]

Kill Bill soundtrack is very good, but is most certainly not "sink into your sofa" fare.

 

[Sir Frizz]

American Beauty tbh.

 

[nath]

gah. Thomas Newman does such vomity slosh.

 

[Sir Frizz]

In that case, consider Road To Perditions soundtrack aswell.

 

[Munkey-]

Erm. Hans Zimmer's 'Blackhawk Down' and 'Gladiator' OST i suppose.

 

[Rekin]

Top Gun OST tbh.

 

[SoWat]

The soundtrack from 'BladeRunner' is nice to listen to if one is in a mellow mood.

 

[Meatballs]

The Lion King.

 

[Aoami]

Oh brother where art thou has a l33t soundtrack.

Oh and songs from the Motion picture 'Dancer in the Dark' by Bjork. Album is called Selma Songs, buy it.

The soundtrack to The Beach is fairly mellow. Just don't watch the film!

 

[doh_boy]

watched ages ago on bbc2

Film called Exotica, I remember liking it. Dark and stuff. :/

Are these 'sink into your sofa' soundtracks tho? Most seem to be a bit lively.

If we can talk about more rocky ones then I'll mention Judgement Night soundtrack - loads of good collaborations betweeen rap & rock, just a shame the film was a bit pants.

That was really bloody good that soundtrack iirc.

The Teenage fan club/de la soul song was class.
