Best movie soundtrack

[steve56]

yea,in fact they were gonna be the best new grp of 80s i was really rooting for them but culture club beat them to it.

[Caractacus]

Add to the mix:

American Beauty (everything from The Who to Thomas Newman's haunting piano piece);

Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown (discussed above)---never thought I'd like a 70s disco-style soundtrack!;

Donnie Darko (a cool movie with superb use of 80s music such as Tears For Fears);

Trainspotting (powerful stuff);

Moulin Rouge (wonderful and sometimes unexpected use of standards).

[steve56]

liked the soundtrack from trainsspotting better than the film,lol,new order,iggy pop.

[Just]

The Crow & Matrix as mentioned what about Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels & for an 80's collection the Wedding Singer & not forgeting the Blues Brothers.
The commitments was pretty good too.

Rocky Horror has got to be up there. Terminator has got an amazing 80's soundtrack on the album.
