What a dull list. Mishima is the best soundtrack ever. (Nearly the best movie, too).

Did I miss something on Grosse Point Blank - what was on that soundtrack - not that the other soundtracks are that much (no Purple Rain, Parade, or Blade Runner = missing something)

It's not the BBc, it's their listeners (I think).

Grosse Point Blank soundtrack has Guns and Roses' Live and Let Die on it, and so is obviously the best thing ever.

No Morricone?

Any best-film list that features a film CURRENTLY IN THEATERS (kill bill vol. 2) is, quite obviously, shite.

What, no HIGH FIDELITY?

Yep, nothing as good as "Citizen Kane" or "The Third Man" or "The Magnificent Ambersons" out there. Except maybe in repertory theatres. :)

Assuming they mean soundtrack in the collection-of-songs sense rather than the original score, then "Mean Streets" easily tops my list. "Saturday Night Fever", "Grosse Pointe Blank" and "Trainspotting" were pretty good too.

Don't forget Duke Ellington's "Anatomy of a Murder" either. Great movie, great music.

Midnight Express.

I know there's a thread on this elsewhere, but I really fucking hate The Blues Brothers.

Also For A Few Dollars More" is Morricone's most incredible score. That musical box...

blount otm.

No Morricone?

Black Orpheus

'The Harder They Come' by a million miles

― Joe Kay (feethurt), Sunday, 8 August 2004 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

What? The Royal Tenenbaums? Dirty Dancing?

How about, Cool World?, Until the end of the world?

I agree with Pulp Fiction and Lost in Translation though.
