Favorite Movie Soundtracks

#21
For some good classic tunes, there's the soundtrack to "Forrest Gump". The movie covers several decades in the life of the Forrest and the music moves through the decades with him. The movie itself is great, as well.

FLASH GORDON!!!!!!!!! Sure I love it for sentimental reasons but I still love it purely as a movie soundtrack.

I also have a fondness for the Popeye soundtrack even though one of the tunes is pretty bad ("I'm Mean")

I don't count compilation albums as being soundtracks. They are more like vanity exercises by the compiler. Anyone can make a mix CD. Hell, I can't think of one such "soundtrack" that I couldn't have done 100x better.

Pulp Fiction
Death Proof
Reservoir Dogs (Quentin Tarantino always has cool soundtracks)
Mysterious Island (another Bernard Hermann fan, here)
Heavy Metal
Rushmore
Jesus Christ Superstar (which was a soundtrack before it was actually a movie...)
Rocky Horror Picture Show

I'll have to think of a few more.
