You linked at the end of the slideshow, failmitter.

But anyway, list blows as usual. Its just arbitrary selections. And IMO, SNATCH had an OUTSTANDING sdtk, and it wasnt on the list.

3 that should have made the list:

The Commitments
Pump Up the Volume
Return of the Living Dead

(at least Repo Man made it)

Rushmore is #2, I'm happy.

List fails to include Boogie Nights or Dazed and Confused.

Empire Records had a pretty decent soundtrack also.

Glory Daze

DamnYankees: Dumb list. It's like it goes out of its way to not include orchestral soundtracks.

That's because those are scores, and deserve their own category.

This list is Failbait as it does not contain Last of the Mohicans, Excalibur, or Legends of the Fall.

That is all

It had south park and O'Brother which made me very happy.

Sgt Otter: List is missing "24 Hour Party People."

I don't recall the "Judgment Night" soundtrack being very good. A lot of the rap/rock collaborations didn't turn out that well.

"The Saint" soundtrack was a good sample of late 90s electronica.

If "Spinal Tap" is on the list, then so should "Fear of a Black Hat."

For some reason, linky isn't working for me, but 24 Hour Party Party People", "Dazed and Confused", "Trainspotting" and "Kids" all had great soundtracks.

/Trainspotting is one of my fave movies, fave books, and fave soundtracks so they get extra points from me

Pan's Labyrinth deserves to be on any such list, forever.

Also, There Will Be Blood. The glorious, weird, weird music of There Will Be Blood. Ravenous also falls into this category.

/no "Dance Magic Dance" plz.

I'm not sure it's fair to such a list to include movies that were more or less musicals, or had the music as their main focus. I think Footloose walks a grey line there, but Hedwig and the Angry Inch is too much.

Also, it is criminally negligent that nothing by Micheal Mann is on the list.

FAIL for not including this:



...greatest soundtrack EVER!

also...



(because Queen made the best soundtracks, period)

I would offer support for "Naked Lunch", and the "Children of Men" soundtrack has a strong variety.

Even without Eugene's Trick Bag, it's still pretty good

packrabid04: 3 that should have made the list:

The Commitments
Pump Up the Volume
Return of the Living Dead

(at least Repo Man made it)

The Commitments isn't on the list? Fark it, no reason to even bother then

Senescent Dawn Also, There Will Be Blood. The glorious, weird, weird music of There Will Be Blood. Ravenous also falls into this category.

If you liked that, you may be interested in Neil Young's work on this soundtrack

Classic

Juno doesn't belong anywhere near a list like this. I was very pleased to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch on there. That is a fantastic soundtrack.

I take it that was a Straight to Hell reference, luckcat?

Also, the Dead Man score is awesome.

scseth: Senescent Dawn Also, There Will Be Blood. The glorious, weird, weird music of There Will Be Blood. Ravenous also falls into this category.

I enjoyed that more as an extended Neil Young jam than as a movie.

^^ Epic fail without this ^^

swahnhennessy: I take it that was a Straight to Hell reference, luckcat?

Dammit, it actually wasn't. It was supposed to be this:



I also agree with Dead Man. Actually most Jarmusch films have great soundtracks.

No Get Shorty?

FAIL

Disagrees with entire list.

Rapmaster2000 I enjoyed that more as an extended Neil Young jam than as a movie.

I actually liked the movie, but Ill admit Ive been a bit of a Jim Jarmusch nut since I watched Mystery Train.

Kill Bill

There is a huge difference between a soundtrack and a song collection.

EW needs to learn it. So do most of you guys.

Inaditch: Juno doesn't belong anywhere near a list like this. I was very pleased to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch on there. That is a fantastic soundtrack.

...the sountrack from the jane st. playhouse cast was much better than the movie soundtrack...i would recommend it if you can find it...

Clerks; Less than Zero.

swahnhennessy: That's because those are scores, and deserve their own category.

The Fountain; Fight Club; Last of the Mohicans.

Fail.

Sorry guys, my fault. I forget to check to see if I went back to the start of the list. Oh well, at least I finally got a Greenlight.

I'd swap some of those for Get Shorty, About a Boy, or Queen's Logic.
