Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
Nightmare Before Christmas
Pulp Fiction
Across The Universe
I just realized that I think I'm quite the fan of musicals.
Elodin: "Tombs is for feckless twits who can't chew their own food. My boy's a Re'lar! He has the feck of twenty men!"
Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”
Simmon: ”It’s just ointment in case you get burned...but if you mix it with piss, it turns into candy.” Sim’s expression was deadpan. “Delicious candy.”
Let's see :
Velvet Goldmine
Grease
Rent
A Star Is Born ( Streisand / Kristoferson )
Once More With Feeling ( soundtrack from the Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode )
The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...
...And The Gunslinger Followed.
“I’m always on the Batman rule, sir.” - Kate Kane / Detective Comics 857
"It is the story, not he who tells it." Except to us collectors who have to put limits somewhere. - jhanic
Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
Pulp Fiction
Chicago (sorry, I love that music)
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
....I can't think of a fifth.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”-Mark Twain
Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me....Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.

This may seem a little odd, but the "From Dusk Till Dawn" soundtrack kicks ass!
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
good call!! I'm adding that to my list.
Almost didn't put it, cause it's not technically a movie soundtrack - but it rocks and I figured... what the heck !

I was totally gonna say Nick and Norah! I love that movie.
Pulp and Rocky are on my list, too.
The Darjeeling Limited
Rushmor... screw it, all of the Wes Anderson movies.
Donnie Darko had a pretty great soundtrack, too.
The Rose. Bette Midler before she became what she is today . . .
This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
Sweeney Todd
Phantom of the Opera
Spiderman [The first one]
The words written upon this paper, are none compared to the words written upon my heart
Garden State
American Graffiti
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Juno
Little Miss Sunshine
Once
The Fountain
(well, nobody said we HAD to pick only 5....)
It's about freakin' time somebody mentioned that one. Easily one of the best soundtracks of them all.
Another really good one is Wonderland, though the movie itself creeps me the hell out.
Also, the soundtrack to Lords of Dogtown is very good, though not quite as good as the music in the documentary on which it's based Dogtown and Z Boys.
One more, the soundtrack to Basquiat (and not just because it has a great Tom Waits song on it, though that helps).
Requiem for a Dream
I love that movie soundtrack, and listen to it constantly. Clint Mansell can write some epic stuff. Check out Lux Aeterna if you haven't heard his work.
Kill Bill
Chicago
300
Legends of the Fall
Nightmare Before Christmas
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
Requiem For A Dream
Pulp Fiction
Beetlejuice
Harry Potter
Boondock Saints
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
Yes yes yes!
The Fifth Element
Heat
28 Weeks later
The count of monte cristo
Braveheart
Pretty much everything Hans Zimmer, mansell, JNH, Goldsmith, and of course, John Williams. Yea.
Good call Laura, albums of original scores are often as good (or sometimes better) than the popular music soundtracks,
A few that I love...
There Will Be Blood - music by Jonny Greenwood (of Radiohead)
Bodysong - music by Jonny Greenwood
The Princess Bride - music by Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits)
And a few more "regular" soundtracks to add to my list...
Finding Forester - which features some incredible music from the likes of Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul and Bill Frisell. The movie was so-so, the soundtrack is great.
Ascenseur pour l'Échafaud - by Miles Davis
Soundtrack to the Film More - by Pink Floyd
And finally, for now, the soundtracks to Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart, both with a lot of original music from Angelo Badalamenti (a frequent colleague of Mr. Lynch) and some other great songs that were in the films.
Another one I like is The Big Chill
This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
Okay..one to add..corny but....Bridge to Terabithia
The words written upon this paper, are none compared to the words written upon my heart
She's The One ~ Probably Tom Petty's best album IMHO
Trainspotting
Natural Born Killers
Lost Highway
O Brother Where Art Though
Desperado
“A Human Thought is an actual EXISTENCE, and a Force and Power, capable of acting upon and controlling matter as well as mind.”
"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent."
"God always punishes us for what we can't imagine."
SK
I can't believe no one has mentioned Forrest Gump. A classic look at 50's,60's and 70's hits. I personally feel it's the best movie sound track.
Also, I think we might have forgotten Wizard of Oz.
Insert witty comment here.
Kids
The Piano
Strange Days
Kill Bill
Reservoir Dogs
Raising Arizona
oh and Rjeso is spot on
Beetlejuice!!! fer real!
There are other worlds than these.

Wow, I need to add like 204592345 more to my list, after seeing everyone else's...there were a LOT that I enjoyed up there...
