    Natural born killers OST

    Moon by Clint Mansell this soundtrack guided me through hundreds of hours of log reading from support tech days through sysadmin days.

    It just falls to the background after a few minutes and becomes trance like.

    I can’t answer what my favorite is per se, but two of the most memorable scores I can think of are for Swiss Army Man and Ravenous.

    I believe Daniels tapped the band Manchester Orchestra to do the music for Swiss Army Man. For whatever reason, they chose to have Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe sing on the soundtrack and the lyrics are usually just narrating what is happening on screen. case in point. It’s a lot of fun.

    Equally avant-garde, but substantially more “challenging”, shall we say, the score for Ravenous is very striking and idiosyncratic, as befitting the film it’s accompanying. Also written by a popular musician, in part at any rate. Michael Nyman, the second composer, said Damon Albarn (of Blur and, later, The Gorillaz) wrote about 60% of the tracks and he composed the remainder. Several of the tracks were performed by people who had never played their assigned instruments before in their lives, to create a deliberately off-putting soundscape. Others are traditional period marching songs befitting the frontier America setting. Some are based around electronic loops and samples. And others are very traditional, pleasant (if ominous) orchestra pieces. It’s really a wild listen. Check it out for yourself.

      I’ll throw another vote for Ravenous. That movie has been a huge part of my life and in no small part thanks to the soundtrack.

      It was the last movie I saw with my dad before he passed and it was a great one to discuss over a cup of coffee after.

      The recently highdef releases we’re great.

    Super Fly, by Curtis Mayfield

    When it comes to Blaxploitation soundtracks, Isaac Hayes’s Shaft title track get all the attention, but it’s basically just Ike reading out the elevator pitch for the film over a riff (admittedly, one of the greatest riffs of all time), and the rest of the soundtrack doesn’t hold up nearly as well.

    But Super Fly is a whole album’s worth of delving into and exposing the underbelly of life in the big city. A concept album with moving lyrics, great melodies and driving rhythms throughout.

    Judgment Night - definitely wins in a debate about the biggest disparity between the quality of a film and it’s soundtrack.

    • klu9@lemmy.ca ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yes, the hip-hop & rock collaboration!

      My memory of the film is not so negative, but then:

      1. I was a sucker for 90s action, especially with a hip-hop angle.
      2. It’s been three decades since I’ve seen it (but been listening to the soundtrack pretty much ever since).

      My favourite mid-90s US heist movie soundtrack was Dead Presidents, a film that didn’t get a sequel but whose soundtrack album was so successful it did!

      Admittedly not original compositions, more a “greatest soul hits of the 70s” compilation.

    Rocky Horror Picture Show

    Second place is Man of la Mancha

    Kinda partial to the Spawn soundtrack too, just because orf was pretty unique at the time

    Picking just one is difficult. But the one soundtrack I’ve listened to from start to finish the most must be Conan the Barbarian by Basil Poledouris.

    • redhorsejacket@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      My local symphony regularly screens movies while playing all of the score, and I would LOVE if they would do Conan. Sadly, I think it’s unlikely, but I can dream! As far as I’m concerned, it is the Platonic ideal of an epic fantasy score.

    Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain. Also my favourite movie.

    I love Bernard Herrmann’s score for ‘Vertigo’. It’s one of the great mystery film soundtracks, filled with so much suspense and intrigue.

    That Dust Brothers soundtrack stands well enough on its own.
