Okies.... what are your favourite Top 5 film soundtracks?

Something by John Williams?  Perhaps the BeeGees?  List either individual songs or the film that they were in, e.g. Star Wars Main score.

Still pondering on mine.... but they may include 'Saturday Night Fever', '2001', 'Electric Dreams', 'Star Wars IV'..... The Wedding Singer (great 80s soundtrack).

For Original Soundtrack: Rocky Horror, Tommy, Bond films and Pink Panther (sorry, I like Mancini)

For Compilation Soundtrack: Full Metal Jacket, The Commitments (excellent flick as well!), Fast Times At Ridgemont High and Pulp Fiction.

Glory (just good)

Gettysburg (ditto)

The Hunt for Red October (the radio controls turn into torpedo launch controls)

Star Wars  (when fellow nerds are identified in nearby cars)

Top Gun (nothing quite says '**** you' to the guy in the car next to you at the light as well as Kenny Loggins ripping away about some sort of danger zone thing.)

Back to the Future (Ditto Kenny Loggins, but with a smile to the guy next to you - anyone who can crank Huey Lewis at the stoplight has huge balls)

I'm really surprised Preon hasn't made his way to this thread yet......

Anyway, some favorite composers:

Hans Zimmer (Gladiator, Crimson Tide, The Rock)

Basil Poledouris (Conan the Barbarian, Hunt for Red October)

Jerry Goldsmith (Star Trek, The Thirteenth Warrior, Rudy)

Danny Elfman (Beetlejuice, Sleepy Hollow, Edward Scissorhands, The Simpsons Theme Song)

John Williams (Schindler's List)

Howard Shore gets an honorable mention for the LOTR films, I'll be interested to see what he comes up with in future films.

The Beach had a great track by Orbital in it.

Gladiator had a great theme tune that has been mixed into a funky dance track.

The Matrix used that superb Massive Attack tune.

I hate overly-sentimental music so Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan are particularly annoying.

LOL LOL if some joker pulled up beside me when I had my Goat, and that song was playing, I would be to busy laughing my bellybutton off, to race him.


I can just see me and my buddy in my Goat when some joker in a Porshe pulls up that song blaring, he revs it I look at my budy we both start cracking up.....
