The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is my absolute fav.
Haven’t seen anyone mention Cinema Paradiso or The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Both are wildly different. Ennio Morricone is a genius.
There’s also The Incredibles - Michael Giacchino The Greatest Showman - Various Artists
Saving Private Ryan - John Williams
The Prince of Egypt - Hans Zimmer
The Gospel of John - Jeff Dann (great middle eastern vibe)Tron 2. Daft Punk without lyrics is perfect for me.
Oh Brother Where Art Thou is a good one.
Koyaanisqatsi
Solaris (the remake)
Whiplash
Broken Flowers
The Fountain
Pirates ot CaribbeanProps for Koyaanisqatsi
I too like subjecting my neighbors to hours of Philip Glass albums.
I feel like whiplash is cheating but you right lol
A few of my favs, in no particular order:
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
- Tron: Legacy
- Oblivion
- Gladiator
- Star Wars (especially Episode I)
- Interestellar
- Conan The Barbarian by Basil Polidouris
- Aliens by James Horner
- The Good The Bad And The Ugly by Ennio Morricone
The crow
Already lots of LOTR & Tron: Legacy here. Not seeing much love for animated film scores, so on that note & in no particular order:
- How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, 1 is personal favorite
- Kung Fu Panda trilogy, 2 is
so fucking good oh my godpersonal favorite - The Lion King (1994)
- Spirited Away
- My Neighbor Totoro
- Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

A couple of these have great soundtracks, too, but I do love a good score.

Trainspotting
Hackers
Atomic Blonde
Go
Grease
The Big Lebowski
The Crow
Mary Poppins- Lock stock and two smoking barrels
- o’ brother where art thou
- tron (daft punk)
Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse
Not a movie but all 3 Beastars openings sound so good
- Cosmos
- Blade Runner
Vangelis, enough said.
2001: A Space Odyssey. Ligeti scared the shit out of me as a kid, and I love it.
Dune (1984)
The Fifth Element
Toto’s Dune score is objectively amazing, and also that one Brian Eno track was perfect. Good pick.
A few that spring to mind...
Vertigo
Psycho
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Mulholland Drive
All 3 LOTR films
Star Wars OT
Indiana Jones (especially Raiders)
The Sweet Smell of SuccessOh yes, I remember the Twin Peaks movie having the Cherubini requiem. Awesome stuff
Ah, I never knew what that piece was. It's fantastic though, a perfect fit along with all of Badalamenti and Lynch's music.
My particular favourite is the weird drone of The Pink Room, turned up loud, but it's all good!
Kill Bill Volume 2! And I like the Carol (2015) soundtrack (totally not a lesbian).
- Tron by Draft Punk
- Lord of the Ring
- Interstellar
- The Graduate
Amélie
I was a hipster in high school and I used to have Amelie on my iPod classic. Was such a tiny screen. :)
Tron Legacy.
One of the few soundtracks I can listen from front to back.
My favorite is the soundtrack to Princess Mononoke, composed by Joe Hisaishi.
Mine is from the 1996 anime film X. It is based on a CLAMP manga and goes much harder than the poster would lead you to believe.
The soundtrack complements the tone perfectly with its experimental and unsettling atmosphere.
Into the wild
Scream 3
Django unchained
American pie
Spiderman into the spider verse
To Live and Die in LA by Wang Chung is another great one that hasn't been mentioned yet
Pump Up The Volume
Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and Footloose are probably my favorites of all time. It's really hard to find soundtracks with a better collection of absolutely amazing songs imo.
Animatrix. It's been in my regular listening rotation for probably over 15 years now.
Highlander
Not sure if "favorite", I can't recall every soundtrack I've heard, but definitely one of my top favorites and the first I thought of.
You Could be Mine was the perfect choice for the moped scene.
I just watched Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure yesterday and though the soundtrack is not original, the soundtrack made the movie.
The Mission 1986.
Bad Company (Trevor Rabin)
Starship Troopers (Basil Poledouris)
Star Trek 2009 (Michael Giacchino)
The Mask Of Zorro (James Horner)Gross Pointe Blank
Desperado
Batman (both Elfman and Prince)
Last Action Hero
The Matrix
LOTR
The Fifth Element
Terminator 2
Escape from New York.
Oldboy.
The score for Star Trek II: the wrath of khan is absolutely amazing
James Horner nailed the starship motif. I enjoy the various other composers' works as well, but Horner is my top for Trek.
Howard Shore for all the Tolkien work. His music alone will paint the image of Middle Earth in my head.
And Hans Zimmer has some stuff I love, like Time, but he did his best job imo for Dune.
Fight Club, Amélie, The Crow (original), To Live and Die in LA
The Natural
Hereditary solely for that ending banger. Or anything by Atticus Ross and/or Trent Reznor. I recently rewatched the Book of Eli and it feels dated, but THOSE SOUNDS.
Last Samurai is super chill
Spawn The Album. Such great collabs! https://tidal.com/album/33972202?u
Also
The Horse Whisper https://open.spotify.com/album/5TkEej0XgyiQyWHfXwrE9w
Spawn soundtrack is the best, no question
Godfather 1 Highlander Empire of the Sun Backdraft Star Wars Ep. 4 Goodfellas Purple Rain
Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe
Lately, I've been listening to The Martian. I'm kind of a sucker for synthy orchestral compositions and that soundtrack is just so hauntingly beautiful.
Velvet Goldmine
Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead
Gladiator (that battle tune is timeless) Gone in 60 seconds Human Traffic Snatch & Lock Stock Guardians of the Galaxy I am Sam Magnolia
All make regular appearances.
Hotline Miami, Doom and Sim City are game OSTs that also get a lot of play time. Honourable mentions for Dark Reign, Spirit Farer and This War of Mine
Gladiator is good but give a listen to Mars from the Planet Suite by Holst.
