      Holy shot I tell people all the time they need to see that movie. Just for the sight of Sean Connery wearing a red nappy and nothing else.

      Holy shite. That’s my coming-of-age film, “Almost Famous” (when I was in the school magazine).

      Also, the title (later in life). All my peers got to be actresses as their coming-of-age rite of passage thing (because that’s just what girls in my schools did) but I was always a late bloomer and now their all miserable and made that I’m still having fun at my age. Fuck them, tho.

  15. Anything by: John Williams (Superman), John Barry (Somewhere in Time, Chaplin, Out of Africa), or Ennio Morricone (Cinema Paradiso). Goodfellas, Valley Girl, Castaway, Legend of 1900, Harry Potter films, All That Jazz. Superman The Movie is my all time favorite.

  17. None of these are even close to the correct answer which is:

    American Graffiti.

    FTW. Hands down. No contest.

  18. UHF.

    (I get the Big Lebowski joke. The unofficial soundtrack is fantastic. The actual OST is a disgusting piece of garbage devoid of the actual music used in the film.

    (Like the rest of the promotion for the film, the distributor maliciously fucked everything up.)

  23. Blade Runner by Vangelis, it's otherworldly.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Grease, though it's a musical, so don't know if you can count it

    Otherwise, Top Gun, Footloose, She's Having a Baby...pretty much every teen movie from the 80s had a killer soundtrack.

    Saturday Night Fever also gets my votes

  38. I'm thinking "Ready Player One" soundtrack will be really good, and potentially my new favorite soundtrack. (80s alternative and rock) So far artists/tracks mentioned are on track with the book's musical reference.

  39. As an Edinburgh native- Trainspotting, then followed by Amelie.

  47. O'Brother, Where Art Thou?

    ReplyDelete
  48. There are personal favorites, like The Graduate, Pretty in Pink, High Fidelity, Garden State, and then there are soundtracks that so thoughtfully captured the movies themselves that I can't hear certain songs without remembering the movies: The Big Chill, Stand by Me, 8 Mile, O Brother, Where Art Thou?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Goldfinger (don’t forget Shirley Bassey!) I love every track, esp “Alpine Drive”

    ReplyDelete
  50. One other that I really love and have on heavy rotation at home, is the soundtrack to "Passion: Music for The Last Temptation of Christ".

    ReplyDelete
  51. The Big Chill, 8 Mile, Waiting to Exhale, Baby Driver

    ReplyDelete
  52. What everyone else said + Repo Man & Over the Edge, among others. I had a VHS copy of the former (the movie, I mean, although I had the cassette too - my recollection is the soundtrack wasn't released on CD till the 90s or something), taped from tv, complete with KTLA or some such station commercials, and funnily dubbed expletives. Anyone remember watching the former on Lifetime in the 80s after school? In a certain way, it was like the ultimate after school special.

  77. It's "South Pacific" or "The Music Man" fighting it out for Win and Place, with "My Fair Lady" and "The Sound of Music" fighting it out for the Show position. All these are well before my time. I'm not THAT old, I just know a lot of movies and scores. "O Brother Where Art Thou", from my era, came on strong but wasn't in the running.

  80. Absolutely love this question and reading through the comments. Discovered some new music today and revisited some favorites...thanks everyone!
    Not an epic OMG all time favorite, but do love how the story and original songs on the soundtrack were entwined in the film Once.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Holy shite, Enty. What an overwhelming question.

    This is all I have for now:

    Best intro: Hawaii Five-0 (the original ‘60s version—not that there’s anything wrong with the remake, but me likey retro sounds). 🌋🌺👩🏻🥗🍂

    Catchiest song in a trailer: “Time of the Season” (The Zombies) on “All The Money in the World” (because I like Romain Duris)

    I liked “Rush” (all the Hans Zimmer who also did “Inception”, and some Bowie).

    Also Yann Tiersen for “Goodbye, Lenin!” (although I think most people know him for “Amelie”).

    Best theme for a film: “Pacific Rim” (Ramin Djawadi).

    I’ll probably think of more later... Good Lord. What a loaded question. LOL.

  98. You can't beat Lost Highway for dark, beautiful and haunting music. It has Bowie, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein and 9" Nails.
    Also I love the soundtrack to Once Upon a Time in America as much as the movie itself. Ennio Morricone at his very best.
