What Movie Has The Best Music?

[jumpingmaniac]

For me its deinately "A Walk To Remember". There is like 3 from switchfoot on it. Next to that is has to be August Rush.

[sandyandporter]

The Jungle Book. I will sing all of them upon request! ;)

[Izzy]

Once.

If you haven't heard this soundtrack you're missing out. Glen and Marketa have such great chemistry together.

[WeaselInYerFoot]

I've enjoyed the simple sounds of Juno lately, and also August Rush.

[Sharon]

Cowboy Bebop

Gladiator

Blues Brothers 1 & 2

The Wedding Singer

Lion King

Braveheart

[pamcharlie]

Juno
very folksy and reminds me and another friend who i saw the movie with of two of our friends who have this group that plays the style of music in juno.

[truster]

Across the Universe, of course!

Band of Brothers, although a miniseries rather than a movie, has some very good music. I actually heard a Dvorak (just imagine the accents on that name ;) ) piece that sounded very similar to BoB.... although that's probably backwards.

The LOTR trilogy is really good.

So are the Star Wars movies.

[ChristinChic788]

So far as soundtracks go, I would have to say

All of the Star Wars movies
All of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies
and my new favorite, Iron Man (this movie has a rockin soundtrack)

[pamcharlie]

Star Wars and Lord of the Rings Yes and Yes also to Pirates and Braveheart and the classic movie 2001 a Space Odyessy has a great sound track as has titanic and the matrix movies too. and the chronicles of narnia , even indy i do happy dances knowing that tomorrow i see indy 4

[ChristinChic788]

Oh yeah, I forgot about all the Indiana Jones movies.

[WeaselInYerFoot]

Cowboy Bebop


Awesome!

I have all 6 of the CD's that first came out for the series! "OST 1" (Personal Favorite), "Music for Freelance", "No Disc", "Vitaminless", "OST Future Blues - Knocking of Heaven's door" and "Blue". All played countless times for the past several years.

[Mr.Supervious]

Lord of the Rings...have all the soundtracks :)

[pamcharlie]

I know that War of the Worlds has been made into a movie many many times but have anyone else apart from me heard Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds it is great and even last year they brought out the live verison on dvd so brilliant better than the tom cruise movie since this version was recorded in the 70s and the live version started touring in 2006 .

[jesus loves me]

The lion king and star wars

[truster]

Awesome!

Ooooh! Don't let James see this! ;)

[middletree]

Ooooh! Don't let James see this! ;)

I have retired any and all complaints about that word. You need to keep up!

Ok, let's see: I'll say the movie Tapeheads.

[lilmikey]

BoB

Star Wars

LOTR(my fave out of all these)

the Indy movies

Willow

Juno had a pretty good sound track

Narnia also has a good but alas its a little underated:confused: :confused:

[Howlin' Wolf]

Pulp Fiction

[pamcharlie]

Willow is great movie,

[lilmikey]

Willow is great movie,

its one of the best fantasy films ever! And its from the same great mind that brought ou Star Wars too!

[pamcharlie]

its one of the best fantasy films ever! And its from the same great mind that brought ou Star Wars too!

I TOTALLY AGREE !!!!!!!!!!

[TN3Dmom]

They are playing Starter for 10 on HBO and it's set in the 80's, which for the most part sucked for music. But they seemed to pick out the best songs, and they fit well in the film. The Cure's "Pictures of You" is in it. I'm a sucker for that one!

[EmmoGomer]

The Gladiator music!! Everytime I hear the music I want to watch the movie again!
Also the music from Snow Falling on Cedars (btw if you haven't seen this film it's fabulous) it's very emotional.

[Sharon]

Can I also add:

Somewhere In Time (a great tear jerker)

Stripes

Spinal Tap

Platoon

[The Unknown Gomer]

Can I also add:

Somewhere In Time (a great tear jerker)

Stripes

Spinal Tap

Platoon

Heh. Yeah. Spinal Tap. There's "none more black" than THAT album cover! :P

What about the music from Last of the Mohicans? That main theme just gloms into your brain and sticks with you for quite a while. We were watching a movie a few weeks ago, don't remember which one it was, but it had a theme that just SOUNDED like the theme from LotM, and I STILL ended up with that LotM theme stuck in my head for hours afterwards. Fortunately, I love the song. :)

[WeaselInYerFoot]

Dragonheart (MP3 file (http://www.themagicofdc.com/multimedia/mp3/movies/Dragonheart-ToTheStars.mp3))

[Andi]

I have a couple favs:

1. Grease
2. Rocky Horror Picture Show
3. Say Anything
4. Jungle Book
5. My Fair Lady


(yes I know - what a stange mix you say! lol)

[Salome]

Definitley The Commitments. Love that soundtrack.

The soundtrack I've listened to the most however would be from the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice. Which just happens to be one of my most favorite movies. I bought the sheet music for it and cannot wait for summer break to start practicing.

Was anyone else here impressed with Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon's singing on Walk the Line? Hello? Bueller? Well I thought they did a good job and bought the soundtrack of them singing Cash. It's a toe tapping cd and good enough to listen to more than a time or two.

[VerbumReale]

It depends on whether you are talking about score or soundtrack. Some have mentioned LOTR. My guess that is actually more a reference to the score than the soundtrack.

Score is primraly the background music that underscores the mood of the movie. If that is the critera that one goes by for evaluating a score then the moste effective score that I have ever heard would have to be that which was in the original version of the Shining. Born on the Fourth of July also has a really good score.

Soundtrack music is more like that which you would see in a montage. The Irish folk rock song that you hear at the beginning of the Departed when Leonardo DiCaprio is going to jail is soundtrack. The famous Da-Da, Da-Da music from Jaws is score.

As fars as soundtracks.

The Departed
Saved
Juno
Forrest Gump
Pulp Fiction

I thought they were both great in acting and voice in that film. I heard the other day Joaquin is recording an album. Curious what type of songs he'll do.

Yes the Commitments is amazing!! I thought I was the only person in the world who remembered that soundtrack.

Is that the 5-hour BBC/A&E version? My wife and all her friends swear it's much better than the one which came out in theaters afterward. Not having seen either, I have no opinion.

[Salome]

I have both versions and enjoyed the 2005 theater version better. But I'm sure that's because that is the first one I saw and fell in love with. And the music of that version stayed with me just as long as the story itself. Others here agree with your wife.

Yes the Commitments is amazing!! I thought I was the only person in the world who remembered that soundtrack.

We both must be pretty old then!! haha!! :D I can't remember if I enjoyed the movie as much as I did the music. I might have to dust that DVD off tonight.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Rather than repeat ones that have already been mentioned, I thought I'd throw a couple different ones into the mix:

Beauty and the Beast
The Hunchback of Notredame

Those probably fit more into the score category, but we won't get into technicalities. ;)

[danbos]

August Rush had great music.
I also really enjoy the soundtracks from Pirates of the Caribbean.

[WeaselInYerFoot]

Anyone heard the soundtrack to Across the Universe? I haven't seen the movie (nor do I plan to), but I got the soundtrack off of napster and have been enjoying the remakes of several Beatles songs.

[Jason]

*puts on Gomer hat*

Joshua
Facing the Giants


*takes off Gomer hat*

Apocalypse Now
I Am Sam

[The Unknown Gomer]

Saw the movie, have the soundtrack, love them both, googoogajoob (or kookookachoo, depending on where you read). :cool:

I knew I was forgetting one.

[pamcharlie]

I knew I was forgetting one.

I am glad that i reminded you of that one.

How about the soundtrack to the Johnny Depp version of Charlie and the chocolate factory?

[The Unknown Gomer]

Moulin Rouge has a great soundtrack too. especially hearing ewan mcgregor singing oh sheer joy .

Something I'LL never know. I tried to watch that one sometime back, and gave up on it about 15 minutes into it. Which says a LOT about how much I DIDN'T care for it since it takes a whole lotta dislike for me to turn off a movie once I start watching one.

How about the Music and Lyrics soundtrack. I was stuck humming Pop! Goes My Heart for DAYS after I watched that. :D

Music and Lyrics is a great movie , how about the wedding singer very 80s there is some 80s music i love and there is some that i do not like at all. I like the music that U2 recorded in the 80s

[Jason]

Definitley The Commitments. Love that soundtrack.

[pamcharlie]

What about the soundtrack to amazing grace

That was fun!! Thanks for the link. I don't think I can pick a favorite. Too many good ones.

How could I forget The Sound of Music?? Why it was just last night I was belting out some songs from that movie. Much to the dismay of my youngest son who happened to have a friend over. Poor kids -- I'm a horrible singer. :D

And I forgot about Oh Brother Where Art Thou? I have that soundtrack too. Good stuff.

[SmileyFreak1981]

I enjoy the music from:

The Wizard of Oz
The Sound of Music
Chicago
Dreamgirls
Gone With the Wind
LOTR
Titanic (except for My Heart Will Go On)

And the soundtrack for Amazing Grace is pretty awesome.

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

You don't have to listen to me if you don't want to, but I suggest you give it another shot. I swear, the beginning is the weirdest part of the whole thing, and if you make it past the first 15, 20 minutes of it it settles down a little bit. But I will say, that even after it settles down, it is pretty strange...during parts...but it's good! :D

I happen to absolutely love the beginning of Moulin Rouge, but I know it's not for everyone. So yeah, if you feel any inclination at all to try again, I highly recommend it.

I'd kind of like to, actually. I've become quite the Ewan Mcgregor fan after finally seeing the first three Star Wars prequels all the way through, so it would be good to see him in something other than as a young Obi-Wan. :) Wouldn't go so far as to get it from Netflix, but maybe the next time it comes on TV, I might tape it.

I'm definitely a fan of Ewan McGregor, mostly due to this movie. Listening to him sing makes me very happy. *insert dreamy smile* :D

[cheewiee]

For instrumentals I enjoy

Jurrasic Park (I am suprised no one has mentined this movie)
Star Wars
The Godfather

Back to the future has a great mix between regular songs and instrumental peices... And it is a great course of "Good" eighties music.

For just regular songs...

A Knights Tale
Pulp Fiction

[mcgreen311]

Once.

If you haven't heard this soundtrack you're missing out. Glen and Marketa have such great chemistry together.

Ach! I still haven't seen this yet, and I really want to.

Same here, When i watch ewan in a movie or even in the motorbike adventures that he and charley boorman go on in the docos i get roses to the cheeks oh ewan he is so excellent

Titanic has a great soundtrack, the classical music

[TN3Dmom]

"Into the Wild". Just soft, haunting music, sung by Eddie Vedder, and a little guitar thrown in there. It was great.

[Salome]

Did you see him in Big Fish? I enjoyed watching him in that film.

[TN3Dmom]

My whole family loved Big Fish. We watch it a lot.

[Genna14]

Yes I remember that movie! It was so super cute! My fave movie he is in is "Stay" and "Moulin Rouge".

Yes, this is true. It freaked me out the first time I watched it too.

Its a very funny, cute, sad movie. I recommend you give it another chance. Ewan is SO super cute and funny in that movie.

[The Unknown Gomer]

"Into the Wild". Just soft, haunting music, sung by Eddie Vedder, and a little guitar thrown in there. It was great.

Yep, that was a good one too. I thought about looking to see if there was a soundtrack CD to it. I'm sure there must be.

[Genna14]

"Into the Wild". Just soft, haunting music, sung by Eddie Vedder, and a little guitar thrown in there. It was great.
That movie was creepy and wierd. I watched it at my tia's and she goes "man did Eddie Vedder write the whole soundtrack?" LOL

[TN3Dmom]

That movie was creepy and wierd. I watched it at my tia's and she goes "man did Eddie Vedder write the whole soundtrack?" LOL

I think he did, in fact. I think it was sad for me as a parent, thinking how you can really do major damage to your kids if you are not careful and don't SHOW YOU LOVE THEM AT ALL TIMES!

[clemsontigers23]

I like Narnia's music, and I heard the theme song at a Celtics-Pistons game the other day.

I'm sure there's more but I can't think of any off the top of my head. I have the Space Jam soundtrack somewhere and Mission Impossible II had a couple of nice singles from Metallica and Limp Bizkit on it. The Matrix: Reloaded had Sleeping Awake by P.O.D. which puts that one up there too.

[pamcharlie]

Yes, this is true. It freaked me out the first time I watched it too.

No, I haven't. Do you recommend it? Did you see him in The Island? That was an interesting concept via sci-fi. I liked it.

No. But I really want to see that movie.

Oh you should. Great quirky fun. And watching him in the extras is just as fun!!

The Wedding Singer has a great soundtrack. Off the top of my head, how about In Good Company, Across the Universe, I am Sam and Juno? Oh, and all of the LOTR movies, as previously m entioned.

[lilmikey]
