Good Soundtracks to Get on vinyl


Recommended Posts

It's gotta be The Wicker Man!!

 

I'm assuming you don't mean the remake right?

Genius!

In the woods there grew a tree

And a fine fine tree was he

And on that tree there was a limb

And on that limb there was a branch

And on that branch there was a nest

And in that nest there was an egg

And in that egg there was a bird

And from that bird a feather came

And of that feather was

A bed

And on that bed there was a girl

And on that girl there was a man

And from that man there was a seed

And from that seed there was a boy

And from that boy there was a man

And for that man there was a grave

From that grave there grew

A tree

Some that are named before and that you must check: Maniac, Drive, Under the Skin, Walter Mitty.

 

Some that have not been named before:

The Visitor: this has been on repeat for 2 weeks in my house and in my car and at my work

Dallas Buyers Club: Some good tunes on this one.

The Congress: Order that one now on amazon before it sells out. Everything from Max Richter is beautiful

Filth from Clint Mansell

and one game ost: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon

Definitely gonna look into Dallas Buyers Club that's such a good movie!

Did you ever think some movies that I haven't seen might have good soundtracks?

 

...and on the same note. Liking a movie alone doesn't mean you need or want to own the soundtrack. I love Wall-E but I don't need to own the OST. Unless it has a track that says "foreign contaminant" like 10 times in a row. Would probably make me laugh every time that track came on.

My favorite soundtrack is Lost in Translation. Got an OG copy as a birthday gift about eight years ago. Makes me happy every time I'm pulling it out the shelves.

Also a big fan and collector of soundtracks by Angelo Badalamenti and Ennio Morricone. Especially the latters work on italian b-movie thrillers from the early 70's are essential to me.

which The Visitor are you talking about? 1979? 2007? - both could have pretty cool soundtracks, albeit very different ones.

Didn't read every page but if no ones said it yet, the best overall soundtrack and collection of music belongs to PULP FICTION. I recommend picking this up asap. It's a cheap record with great songs and a few choice movie clips thrown in there without being over bearing.

Not sure if they make it on vinyl but the forest gump soundtrack would be great too!

I tend to like soundtracks that bring me back to particular parts that were burned into my brain while watching a film. I saw both Godzilla and World War Z and can't say that either of these would have tracks like that.

But whenever I hear Barber's "Adagio For Strings" I think of Elias' death scene in Platoon. Or when Tom Hanks explains "La Mamma Morta" to Denzel Washington in Philadelphia. And the one that always brings a tear to my eye, "Somebody To Love" by Jefferson Airplane & the movie Cable Guy.
