The Fountain
The Machinist
Donnie Darko

Monster's Ball and Stay are my two favorites, by far...simply the best ambient/electronic music i've come across yet

I loved the soundtrack to Babel. Also, the Silent Hill games have amazing soundtracks.

River's Edge.

(Yes, I'm showing my age.)

"The things I do for my fucking friends, man."

 

[Necropeth]

Donnie Darko. "You keep your distance via system of touch." WTF.

 

[neuroticandroid]

the soundtrack to the the first crow movie, most of the songs fit the mood of the movie soooo well, and how often do you get to hear nine inch nails do a cover song anyway?

 

[in_my_time_of_disease]

I thought of a top soundtrack today, Life Aquatic by Wes Anderson, it's got Sigur Ros, Scott Walker, Bowie etc.

 

[My Arms, Your Purse]

The Gladiator ( both the movie and the soundtrack) obliterapes

 

[in_my_time_of_disease]

^Definitely, Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard on that ost are incredible.

^Nice list! Conan wins. Magnolia has a great soundtrack, as do all the Paul Thomas Anderson films. Good call on Blade runner, Vangelis dominates. I remember when I first heard the "Walter Carlos" soundtrack of Clockwork Orange and then later buying it and the artist was listed as Wendy Carlos, it wasn't until later that I realized he or in this case now she had a sex change. Hence the artist confusion on my part haha. Another good call with North by northwest, heaps of the ost's of Hitchcock movies dominate.

 

[hezagenius]

Conan does indeed own! Probably one of my top 5 soundtracks along with Blade Runner, A Clockwork Orange and Episodes 4 and 5.

 

[in_my_time_of_disease]

Just thought of another, the Garden state soundtrack. I just watched the film again the other day and had forgotten how good it is, its got Nick Drake, Iron & Wine, The Shins, Zero 7, Simon and Garfunkel and Coldplay. While I don't love all of those, they are good songs from all, but you could have picked any Iron, Drake, Shins or S & G and it would have owned.

 

[DinoB]

The only soundtrack that I can think of is from the Command and Conquer franchise. Frank Klepacki is awsome and I think this is the only electronic music that I really enjoy. Plus he does rock out on some songs like on "Hell March".

 

[hezagenius]

Can't believe I forgot The Untouchables! That score really meshes well with the movie. The opening theme as well as the music playing when they are riding their horses in to bust the bad guys are some of the best movie music ever.

 

[Shapeless)))]

Forgot to mention The Proposition!

 

[Crepuscularia]

2001: A Space Odyssey
The Shining
(basically any Kubrick film)
Pi (creepy techno-ish stuff)
In the Mouth of Madness (not the best movie, but John Carpenter repeatedly demonstrates his ability to make the simplest melody sound like a theme from Satan)
The Neverending Story (sentimental favorite!)
