Which movie(s) do you think has the best soundtrack?

Rogue One. First time I saw it I was sure no one could hold a candle to John Williams. Then I watched it again and the way Michael Giacchino uses a half-step to underline the theme of hope gives me chills just remembering it.

American Beauty.

It's the most autumn sounding OST I know, super moody.

Into The Wild

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Lots of good ones here, I'll add some that haven't been mentioned: Sahara, Rango, both Sherlock Holmes movies, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, the JJ Abrams Star Trek's, The Incredibles, Godzilla 2014, The Road to El Dorado

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago
  • Yellow Submarine (I think a lot of people either forget this movie exists, or write it off as a kids movie. You're missing out on a movie that could be considered as revolutionary to animation as the Beatles were to music.)
  • Back to the Future
  • The Muppet Movie
  • School of Rock
  • Bladerunner
  • The Matrix

There's probably other's, but that's what immediately comes to mind.

I was just watching Tenet last night and the music kind of took me out of it sometimes because I was like, “Fuck, that music sounds awesome”, though not sure how well it will stand on its own, I’ve not tried that yet.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I don't know that I could pick one, but Joe Hisashi's Studio Ghibli sound tracks are done of my favourites

When I think of exquisite sound design, two of my favorite movies spring to mind: Stalker (1979) and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

The former has such a subtle soundtrack that it's almost like it's not there, but without it so much of the atmosphere of a movie that is heavily atmospheric would be lost.

The latter is just a perfect western with a perfect western soundtrack. The theme is well known, but L'estasi Dell'oro gives me chills every time it starts playing.

Monsoon Wedding

Lord of the Rings

The Fifth Element is probably the only soundtrack I have ever bought. The diva's aria is AMAZING!

Atomic Blonde

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I'm not seeing Oppenheimer mentioned , perhaps I'm in the minority here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Swingers has a great oldies/crooner soundtrack.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah American Psycho does have a good soundtrack. Eyes Without a Face is great.

My vote is for Interstellar or some of the other Hans Zimmer ones
