Best Film Soundtrack
Anyone got any particular favourites? And I think we should exclude performance films (Last Waltz, Woodstock, 1991: THe Year Pukn Broke blah blah blah) I love the soundtrack to Get Carter, always sing it in my head whenever I take the train.....
Also quite like High Fidelity, Trainspotting and whatnot. Plus I recently heard one of those "library" LPs, so I should put 'multiple hammer b-movies' down as well - early 70s vampire flicks filmed in Sussex, but with a rockin' soundtrack!!!

In terms of the relationship
In terms of the relationship between the soundtrack and the film, the Good, Bad, Ugly soundtrack works really well.
In terms of just great music, I like Donnie Darko, Big Lebowski and Garden State.
How disappointing is it to
How disappointing is it to get the Darko soundtrack only to find out that its all classical music?? I wanted Echo and the Bunnymen dammit!
Air's OST to The virgin
Air's OST to The virgin Suicides worked so well with the film. Clint Mansell's OST for Pi, Requiem For A Dream and The Fountain (shite film but the closing credits composition could stop time)
I second Garden State/High Fidelity for sheer great music.
I think the only ones I ever
I think the only ones I ever listen to are:
Judgement Night - Helmet, Faith No More and Slayer collaborate with Cypress Hill, Ice T, De La Soul and the like. As you'd image, it's occasionally brilliant and occasionally rubbish.
Once - the songs from the film. Glen Hansard's solo acoustic tracks are the best.
Trouble Every Day - orchestral misery from The Tindersticks.
The Harder They Come - plenty of Jimmy Cliff and Pressure Drop. Good stuff.
I saw Harder They Come once.
I saw Harder They Come once. I had no idea what was going on, but I liked the music.
Harder They Come - awesome
Harder They Come - awesome film! Some of the least realistic fake blood I've ever seen as well...

Was always quite fond of the pretty in pink soundtrack meself. in fact, a lot of the John Hughes 80's soundtracks are pretty good.
control and 24 hour party people aren't bad either, for obvious reasons.
