Best soundtracks

[matty_f]

Anyone got any favorite soundtracks or bands that you've discovered on the back of watching something?

Trainspotting has a great soundtrack, especially for those of us who were in our late teens at the time.

Twin Peaks new season has had some good tunes on it, got me listening to the Chromatics, who are quite similar to College (featured on the Drive soundtrack, which is also excellent).

The Leftovers soundtrack was excellent fit the series, not sure how it would go on the drive to work though.

Any others worth looking out for?

On TV - Girls and Master of None have a lot of good stuff. Also quite liked the Mogwai soundtrack on The Returned.

Trainspotting one is class. All of the 'This is England' series and film too for me.

Not what you mean but talking of soundtracks - I can't concentrate when I am writing a report and have proper music on. So I tend to just sit listening to soundtracks with no words. Anything from John Williams and Hans Zimmer. Helps me focus.

[hibs#1]

Bad boys 2.

[ColinNish]

Reservoir Dogs

Pulp Fiction.

Jackie Brown.

Dirty Dancing.

[lord bunberry]

Good morning Vietnam has a great soundtrack.

[MountcastleHibs]

Guardian's of the Galaxy has a great soundtrack. Second one is t bad either!

[Alfiembra]

One I really enjoyed recently was Baby Driver, the film was good too.

[Torto7062]

Kevin and perry soundtrack

Platoon

Good morning vietnam

Time for Heroes [emoji108]

This.

[The Modfather]

Does the Blues Brothers count? One of my favourite films.

[patch1875]

The Lost Boys
Judgement Night
The Social Network

[BroxburnHibee]

The Commitments.

Anyone seen Sing Street. Really enjoyed that soundtrack.

[rodhibs55]

Still like Hipsway, apparently going on tour again. First heard of them on the McEwans lager ad.

[Sylar]

Really love the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Some excellent songs on there.

Also a second shout for The Social Network soundtrack by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

Growing up, the American Pie 2 soundtrack was a staple of my pop-punk youth.

[easty]

The Lost Boys


Funnily enough, they were talking about The Lost Boys soundtrack on Radio X the other day, and played Cry Little Sister :aok:

[ancient hibee]

Rock around the Clock

The Girl can't help It.

The Graduate

Dunkirk.

Forgot about the American Pie films. So many good songs.

[Tyler Durden]

Some great shouts here already. Really agree with

Baby Driver
Master of None
Donnie Darko
Jackie Brown (virtually all Tarantino to be fair)

Also keen recently on Searching for Sugar man.

Big fan of The Virgin Suicides and a few other Sofia Coppola films. Dazed and Confused, Goodfellas, Vanilla Sky, Almost Famous.

Can't beat a bit of Isaac Hayes too

[matty_f]

Donnie Darko was excellent :agree:

Bit of an old one, Teachers (which is on demand on channel 4) had any amazing soundtrack, as did Trigger Happy TV.

[marinello59]

Mary Poppins. Classic. :greengrin

[Frazerbob]

Restless Natives by Big Country, end of discussion, close the thread!

[Frazerbob]

They're playing Kelvin Grove Bandstand in Glasgow after our game at Ibrox and Party at the Palace in Linlithgow the next day.

I still have the CD but there were some cracking songs played in the series that weren't on it.

The Boy With The Arab Strap is the stand out though :thumbsup:

[PeeJay]

PTA's "Magnolia" - one of my favourite movies - music from Aimee Mann ... Supertramp too unfortunately...

[Dinkydoo]

+1 for Donnie Darko and Pulp Fiction

I also really enjoyed the Mulholland Drive soundtrack. Such a great film too.

:agree: One of my all time favourite songs. I was watching the first season of Teachers last night, it's aged really well. I've got the DVD's somewhere and pretty sure I had the CD at some point as well.

Watched them again recently, noticed James Corden as a pupil.

[High-On-Hibs]

Goodfellas and Casino soundtracks

[Hibrandenburg]

Saturday Night Fever. Close the thread.

Cheers, I will try and get to one of these.

Leftovers is tremendous. Really cranks up the intensity.
The composer Max Richter has loads of great stuff. Also played at EIF 2 years ago which was immense.

I will throw in:
Full Metal Jacket
Assault on Precinct 13 (or any John Carpenter really)
It Follows
Red Riding, in particular part 2

I looked up Max Richter after seeing The Leftovers. :agree:

High Fidelity has a good soundtrack, also Heat.

[lord bunberry]

Cemetery Junction was a very underrated film with a decent soundtrack.

[O'Rourke3]

One from the heart. Wired juxtopision of Tom Waits and Crystal Gayle that just works.

[DrSpaceMonkey]

Blade Runner, but that's more a score than soundtrack. Great non the less 👍🏻

[Off the bar]

The Big Lebowski, great film great soundtrack love the Dylan number 'the man in me' I didn't known that one before the film

[matty_f]

Good shout. :agree:

[Ayrshire Hibee]

Restless Natives is superb

The Acid House is pretty good soundtrack

Restless Natives thers a shout. All personal taste but heres a few random ones Pretty in Pink, Rocky,Boat that rocked, Buster,Black Rain,Highlander and Heat

[WeeRussell]

The Big Lebowski, great film great soundtrack love the Dylan number 'the man in me' I didn't known that one before the film

I didn't know the song until I listened to 'Tribes' (no longer together) cover of this, available on youtube.. beautiful :greengrin

Anything by Scorcese usually a goer, thanks to his love of the stones. Goodfellas soundtrack is brilliant, including all the New York/Specter type stuff.

I enjoyed DJango Unchained's tunes too. Pulp Fiction also.

Agree with American Pies anaw!

Thinking about it - Happy Gilmore has a few quality tunes in it as well :greengrin

Showing my age but there are a few good tunes in American Graffiti.

[hibsbollah]

:agree: the bit where they start racing their cars and Booker T and the MGs 'Green onions' kicks in:not worth

[wpj]

The Dead Presidents, great film great soundtrack

[Peevemor]

Forest Gump
EDtv (great film & soundtrack)

[Mr White]

Agree with Matty's shout for Hi Fidelity, the film that introduced me to The Beta Band.

I'll add Dazed & Confused for some classic early 70s Rock such as Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith.

[Tornadoes70]

Best film soundtracks have to be -

Quadrophenia and The Wanderers.

Dirty Dancing and Grease are good shouts too.

Speaking of Quadrophenia, what about Tommy? Although the film is weird and dated now.

Funnily enough I recorded that a few weeks ago from BBC 2 onto my box and looking forward to watching it again when I have the time, this time around with a more mature pair of eyes and ears :greengrin as I've not seen it since being a young lad growing up in the 70s.

Another film with a great soundtrack was Animal House, a cracking film with classic songs.

[Mango Man]

Dumb and Dumber had a cracking soundtrack.

[Tyler Durden]

I saw The Who perform Tommy in full at the Albert Hall back in March.

It was great but the gig really went to another level when they finished Tommy and played 5 or 6 of their classics. Daltrey's voice is still incredible

Saw them play Tommy at The Hydro. I really enjoyed it as something different and can't see them ever touring that album again given their age. Although hopefully still got many a touring year still left in them.

The crowd and atmosphere wasn't a patch on Hyde Park for their 50th anniversary though.

The Beta Band were class!

[Captain Trips]

A film that surprised me in 2 ways was Drive. Starred Ryan Gosling but film eas excellent the soundtrack however is for me what made it. Sort of 80s synth sound to it all. Movie is really excellent a very polarising film.

Yeah that one's excellent. Some cracking songs on it.

That's weird was just about to post Drive when i noticed the thread. Johnny Jewel had a big hand in it. Look him up on Soundcloud he puts up loads of material. I was up on stage dancing with the band at his Chromatics/Glass Candy gig, some Tuesday night that was.

Chromatics were in the latest Twin Peaks series as well, iirc.

:agree:

I still listen to the 3 EPs from time to time. Steve Mason's solo albums are also excellent.

On stv2 the now pisher than I remember but still find myself smiling for no reason soundtrack is sad when you think about big stu

[wpj]

Natural Born Killers is a good OST pretty varied artists. Love all the blaxpoitation soundtracks too, a lot of them being re- released
