BuddhaDog - I got my ex the Easy Rider soundtrack for his last birthday. I’ll look out for it and let you know if it’s still available here.
Lost Highway (just for the Smashing Pumpkins track “Eye”)
Stigmata (just for the score by Billy Corgan of SP and the Natalie Imbruglia song written by Billy Corgan but the rest of it isnt bad either.)
Reservoir Dogs
Ooooo, I’m so excited that I haven’t seen mine listed yet…
I used to have the Purple Rain LP, but someone stole it way back when.
And I have the soundtrack from Hal Hartley’s FLIRT.
Oh, almost forgot Stand By Me and Urban Cowboy.
I think that’s all of them (they are in my bedroom and I’m in the basement).
I have GREASE, but someone already said that one.
I knew I’d forget some!
Pretty Woman and Robin Hood (this one sucks IMO).
I have a collection which is not unlike Archive Guy’s. At least 300. Many LPs, and CDs. These are all orchestral, instrumental scores, not pop song compilation soundtracks.
I am a big Jerry Goldsmith fan, so I have almost anything I can find that he has composed. Not everything (some things I was too young to get when first released) but I’m pretty good at finding used records, scouring eBay, etc.
I also have a fair share of Ennio Morricone, John Williams, Bernard Herrmann, but these collections are not near as complete as my Goldsmith collection. And a smattering of just about anyone. Hans Zimmer, Randy Newman, Mark Knoppfler (sp?), Thomas Newman, Vangelis, James Horner, Nino Rota, John Barry, and on and on.
Some of my favorite scores are:
“Under Fire” - Jerry Goldsmith
“Days of Heaven” - Ennio Morricone
“The Missouri Breaks” - John Williams
“Marco Polo” - Ennio Morricone
“The Day the Earth Stood Still” - Bernard Herrmann
“The Red Pony” - Aaron Copland
“The Lion in Winter” - John Barry
“Dracula” - John Williams
“Burn!” - Ennio Morricone
“Planet of the Apes” - Jerry Goldsmith
“Patton” - Jerry Goldsmith
“The Shadow” - Jerry Goldsmith
“The Mummy” - Jerry Goldsmith
“The Wind and the Lion” - Jerry Goldsmith
“Gui La Testa” - Ennio Morricone
“Farenheiht 451” - Bernard Herrmann
“Taxi Driver” - Bernard Herrmann
“The Phantom Menace” - John Williams
“Jaws II” - John Williams
“Rampage” - Ennio Morricone
“Frantic” - Ennio Morricone
“Chinatown” - Jerry Goldsmith
“L.A. Confidential” - Jerry Goldsmith
“Dracula” - John Williams
And on and on and on…
Big Beatles fan here, so of course I have
-Help
-Magical Mystery Tour
-Yellow Submarine
But, I can’t believe that I haven’t seen these two ABSOLUTE all-time favorite soundtracks of mine. I still listen to these all the time!
-Rocky Horror Picture Show
-Animal House
/slight hijack/
Funny thing… I have the song “Time Warp” on three different CD’s. The RHPS soundtrack, a Halloween songs compilation and the DR Demento 20th Anniversary collection.
/here endeth the hijack/
Rushmore Most excellent. Songs of schoolboy angst,several obscure oldies (Kinks, Chad and Jeremy.) Clever incidental music by Mark Motherspaugh (both of Devo as well as Rugrats fame.)
Local Hero Probably my all-time favorite movie, music by one of my all-time fave singer-songwriter-guitarists. I’d like ‘Goin’ Home,'the song at the very end,
played at my funeral some day.
Other soundtracks are from
Dazed and Confused
Last of the Mohicans,
Clockwork Orange
The Lion King
Lawrence of Arabia
The Year of Living Dangerouslynot sure why, but this CD did not have that theme everyone remembers from the movie
Charlie Brown Christmas
After seeing Hedwig and the Angry Inch, I bought the original cast recording.
IMHO, the best album in the last 10 years. Check it out.
I’ve got Grosse Point Blank, which is one of the greatest movie soundtracks ever, in my opinion. Eminently listenable.
Also Kundun, O Brother Where Art Thou, and, uh, Twister. I wound up with the Twister soundtrack as the result of signing up for one of those CD clubs where you get 12 CDs to start. I was running out of selections, so I just threw that one on there. It’s not half bad, but I don’t think I would have bought it normally.
I can’t believe that no one else seems to have “The Harder They Come,” by Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytalls, etc. This is a great soundtrack. “Sitting Here in Limbo,” “Pressure Drop,” “Shanty Town,” just so much good old reggae.
Not that many, by comparison…off the top of my head:
Conan the Barbarian
Star Wars (the original LP)
The Empire Strikes Back (also on LP)
Braveheart
More Music From Braveheart
The Endless Summer II (very cool all guitar instrumentals - highly reccommended)
The Chieftains Film Cuts
Mark Knopfler: Screenplaying
The Princess Bride
Top Gun (it was standard issue for teenagers in the mid-'80s)
Miami Vice (ditto the Top Gun notation)
U2: Rattle and Hum (does this count as a soundtrack?)
Demolition Man
Rush
…and I think that’s about it.
Actually, plnnr, I do have The Harder They Come soundtrack–on vinyl. But I have so many of those songs on CDs, and the record album has now earned its rest.
The Chieftains sound pretty good on the Barry Lyndon soundtrack but I don’t have that one.
Woohoo! I have some that aren’t listed yet!
Lost Boys
Batman
Tenku – Kitaro
The Godfather
Jesus Christ Superstar
Terminator
The Carl Stalling Project
Blade Runner
Music for a Darkened Theater
I’m a big Bernard Hermann fan. I’ve got The Film Music of Bernard Hermann and The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad.
I’m also a big Stanley Kubrick fan:
2001: A Space Odyssey
Clockwork Orange
Barry Lyndon
Rick Wakeman fan:
White Rock
Lisztomania
Fantasia
Star Wars
The Rocketeer
Patton
Star Trek:TMP
James Bond Themes (from the original films)
I have an old album called Fifty Golden Years that has original film themes from a lot of United Artists films: **A Funny Think Happened on the Way to the Form, It’s a Mad,Mad,Mad,Mad World,**etc.
In addition, of course, to a lot of movie musical records: **west Side Story, Godspell, **etc.
I have the soundtracks to Sorcerer, Thief, and Risky Business, simply because I really like the way Tangerine Dream scores a film - even a bad one like Soldier.
For the same reason, I have the soundtrack to The Firm, because I liked Dave Grusin’s piano in the film, even though I didn’t care for the film at all.
I like the way ArchiveGuy differentiates between original scores and song comps. While I don’t fancy myself much of a sndtk. person, I actually do have a few, if nowhere near his 300:
Waxman/Steiner/Korngold: a couple of comps, lumping them all together.
Bernard Herrman: 2 comps, plus Vertigo.
Alex North: Spartacus. Really good, that one.
Jerry Goldsmith: Twilight Zone.
Henry Mancini: a 3-disc box set, plus “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”
John Barry: OHMSS [On Her Majesty’s Secret Service]
Diamonds Are Forever
comp. of Bond theme songs
one of the “Moviola” comps
Philip Glass: Mishima
Vangelis: Blade Runner
Michael Nyman: three comps.
Batman franchise: 1960’s TV sndtk. [Nelson Riddle; great fun!]; Elfman sndtk.; Prince’s songs.
Concert movies/documentaries: Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, The Wall, Stop Making Sense, Under a Blood Red Sky; tribute to Dylan concert (well, it was on TV).
Mixed orig. score selections & songs: Lost Highway.
Songtracks: Purple Rain; Singles, Reality Bites, Trainspotting, Sliding Doors.
Theatre/TV/Misc.: Orson Welles’ “War of the Worlds” broadcast; a comp. of Disney songs; a box set of Broadway show tunes; a comp. of TV cartoon themes; David Byrne’s “The Catherine Wheel”; more Philip Glass; a few operas; the “Schoolhouse Rocks!” comp.
And “Hedwig & the Angry Inch” rocks. Really!
