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.
The Crow (1994)
Transformers: The Movie (1986).
- Dare
- The Touch
- the awesome Lions cover of the theme
- and of course, Dare to Be Stupid
Natural born killers OST
There are so many great ones, but the one I think would be irreplaceable is dances with wolves.
Paris, Texas. Pure desolate vastness, pain and longing and loneliness. The whole soundtrack is out of this world. Absolute pitch-perfect genius by Ry Cooder setting the tone for what is also a phenomenal film in its own right.
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.
Reservoir Dogs
Tarantino has a good feel for scores in general, but this one is perfect.
Not my favorite because I don’t really pick favorites but I remember that forgettable vampire movie, the one with Aaliyah, had a pretty good soundtrack. If you like early 2000s rock.
Not a single mention of How to Train Your Dragon? That OST is like my heroin
Hand covered bruises - The Social Network.
Armarcord
A Clockwork Orange
That Daft Punk Tron: Legacy soundtrack.
Gladiator is definitely up there. That or LOTR
