Soundtrack > Movie? - Blu-ray Forum

carpaltonnel · 02-02-2009, 08:49 PM

You got to admit that the soundtrack can be an important part of a movie, it can make it or even break it. 1. What are some of the greatest movie soundtracks in your humble opinion? 2. Or better yet do any of you listen to the soundtrack more than you view the movie?

Can a soundtrack be better than the movie?

No Country For Old Men soundtrack > the movie

Nice choice, the movie gets 50/50 love it/hate vibe, but the soundtrack is tight.

I actually like the film alot,
but the music truly surpasses the film itself.

Yeah, I though it was a good view too, seems common response is "I hated the ending"

Sunshine soundtrack is probably one of my favorites. It definitely played a huge role in it.

The Sunshine soundtrack is amazing. I like The Dark Knight score also.

Sussudio · 02-02-2009, 11:03 PM

3 great examples:

supergirl
the postman
lady in the water

ive been trying to collect movie soundtracks for quite a while, and i've found these 3 in particular much better than the movie

what's with all these threads? are you and bruce competing or something

Secretagentnumber6 · 02-02-2009, 11:04 PM

Lost Highway had a fantastic soundtrack. As a movie, it was just okay.

Nahhh, I just love these forums. Mostly kind, considerate, knowledgable people.

Belloche · 02-03-2009, 03:05 AM

My favorite soundtrack of all time is The Harder They Come and I think it outshines the movie it was made for.

For the fountain?

If they didn't like the ending, they really shouldn't have been watching the movie. To hate the ending is to hate the movie itself {due to the fact that the ending is referenced several times in the movie and the entire movie leads there}

one soundtrack that comes to mind is Garden State. i also really like the gladiator background music.

Blu Angel · 02-03-2009, 03:51 AM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5zGPriMbfc , starting to dislike the saw films , but i do love it's theme song, and a few others from it's score -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOOERG738Ks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-XS7PS7x3I
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RttO4cKx7Y , love the piano at 1:40
I think the only way they can make the saw movies interest me agian, is if Dr. Gordon becomes a twist when its all over.
Others are..
The Island
28 Weeks Later
Fountain
Requiem for a Dream
300
Lord of the Rings
Narnia
Batman Begins
Pirates/Caribbean
Man on Fire
and 1 of the best is on my avatar - Jesse James
