Top 10 Movie Soundtracks (my favorites)
Rules: No Biopics (bye bye to Ray, Walk the Line, etc..), No Rock Operas (bye bye to The Wall and Quadrophenia)
1. Boogie Nights (Spill The Wine, Got to Give it up, Machine Gun, Sister Christian) - some great songs on this one and some great movie memories get dredged up. This one is a classic.
2. Dazed and Confused (Low Rider, Stranglehold, Schools, Tush, Stranglehold) - Great period piece, also brings up some great scenes when you give this a listen
3. Almost Famous (That's the way, America, Simple Man, Every picture tells a story) Another 70's era movie. Feverdog is even on this. Soundtrack is well curated and spans many great genres
4. City of God - Great Brazilian music you've never heard before (i hadn't)
5. High Fidelity (Who Loves the Sun, Everybody's Gonna be Happy, Oh! Sweet Nuthin, I Believe) as someone else said, "just a great mix tape"
6. Reservoir Dogs (Hooked on a Feeling, Little Green Bag, Stuck in the Middle with You) with great scenes (like a virgin speech) and great music. too short, makes you want to hear more
7. The Big Chill (Tears of a Clown, Joy to The World, A Whiter Shade of Pale, What's Going On) - There are 14 solid tracks on this one. No duds. Great music that everyone knows and loves.
8. Saturday Night Fever (Night Fever, Boogie Shoes, Stayin Alive) Classic, though there are some very skippable tracks. If you disagree with this one, just picture the Stayin Alive scene in Airplane! and tell me you aren't smiling now.
9. Superfly - (Pusherman, Freddy's Dead, Superfly) Incredible Curtis Mayfield tracks evoke incredible feeling and really bring you into the film.
10. Donnie Darko (Great Original Score, Notorious, Under the Milky Way, The Killing Moon, Mad World) Lots of more obscure, but great tracks on this one
Just Missed: Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop, Blow, I Am Sam, Trouble Man, Singles, The Lost Boys, Invincible, Garden State
So who else did i forget?
