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

I think American Psycho has a good soundtrack and I listen to it occasionaly.

    • 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.

    Most people, as evidenced by the comments, don’t know the difference between soundtrack and score. Either that or they DO know the difference and are choosing to answer as if they didn’t.

      real. Geinoh Yamashirogumi elevated that movie beyond “weird mindfuck anime” to an immersive experience.

      On the same note, Ghost in the Shell’s soundtrack is also a masterwork, though it doesn’t have a single stand out track like Kaneda’s Theme

      Too much of ambience songs.
      Personally I prefer more structured pieces like Battle against Clown or the OST of Tron:Legacy

        I just gave it a listen through, and yes I am remembering it for Kaneda’s Theme.

        Seeing that scene on the big screen in '88 has not been topped as the most electric cinematic experience, for me.

    Tron: Legacy
    Pacific Rim

    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.

    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.

    For me the criteria is: would the movie be very different with another soundtrack. The below offerings truly elevate their movies imo.

    Tron Legacy

    Blade Runner

    Black Panther

    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.
