I really enjoyed the Pulp Fiction Soundtrack
The waynes World Soundtrack was also good, it was my first exposure to Queen.

What are some other awesome soundtracks, regardless if the movie is good or not.

blue velvet

Hand's down par none......HIGHLANDER with a close second ARMAGEDDON!

The First edition of the Soprano's soundtrack, In the Line of Fire, Saturday Night Fever, but I am unsure of the overall soundtrack the best song ever in a movie soundtrack IMHO is Georgio Marado's sp? The Chase from Midnight Express.

Somewhere In Time.

Fast Times At Ridgemont High

But why do you suppose the left The Cars "Moving in Stereo" off of it. I mean the swimming pool scene was a classic for sure!

Oh, just admit it: You love it mostly because Sammy's on it...

Busted!

Welllll....You know...."THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO ROCK"!

Ha! I beg to differ!



And here are a few more I enjoy:
Life is Beautiful
Hitch
A Charlie Brown Christmas

"Remember The Titan's" had an awesome and classic soundtrack!

So did the remake of "Alfie' with Jude Law awesome Mick Jagger/Dave Stewart Songs "old habits die hard is such a great song

The Commitments soundtrack.

That Thing You Do! has some great tunes, but the thing that stops me from buying the soundtrack is that they didn't include the "Spartacus" jazz tune from the studio jam (near the end of the movie). That tune (what little we hear of it) and the Dance With Me tune are my favs.

Most listened to soundtrack - Purple Rain

Personal Favorite - Queen - A Kind of Magic ( Essentially the Highlander ST )

Best? Well, it's relative - but - Singles encapsulates a good era.

I'm surprised no one said the soundtrack to FM or Play Misty For Me. Both are radio movies.

Herb

Ooooooooh - FM is a particularly nostalgic album for me. That's a good one. Killer album cover, DOUBLE album no less. That's a stellar pick.

I thought the "Valley Girl" post was a joke until I looked at the contents. There is some killer new wave stuff on that disc!

"Local Hero" featuring Mark Knopfler is a fave.

I second the nomination of Vince Guaraldi's "Charlie Brown Christmas."

We also can't forget "Help," "Hard Day's Night," and "Yellow Submarine."

OK, don't laugh at me, I really am a rocker at heart, but one of my favorites is The Sound of Music. Brings back good memories of seeing it with my Mom and Dad. (a really LONG time ago!)

Mary Poppins brings backs by 2nd grade teacher and the sing-a-longs we had each morning as she pounded a piano.

Both of the Grosse Pointe Blank soundtracks!

Ok...I won't laugh becuase it was for a good reason...maybe just a little snicker though! And Skep...."Chim Chim Cher-ee" to ya there!

Two soundtracks were the driving forces behind successful radio formats -- "Sat. Night Fever", which of course gave us Disco, and "The Big Chill"
which in '83 significantly impacted the development of the Oldies based AC format.

I'm going back to the other side of the board now.

Did Saturday Night fever give us Disco, or vice versa?

The "Big Chill" effect on Oldies/AC makes sense. Did the "American Graffiti" soundtrack have a similar effect?

Don't be gone too long Terry!

Sat Night Fever debuted in 1977, and the success on mainstream Top 40 radio of music from that movie, along with other mass appeal acts like Alicia Bridges, KCSunshineBand, etc., led 92WKTU in NYC to flip to the all-disco format in July '78, going worst to first in a single book in younger demos.
It lead to a tidal wave of me-too flips to the disco format.
I believe that without that movie, the "format" would have remained very niche -- weekends on CHR or Urban stations in young/urban/gay top 10 metros.

I may be alone here, but the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack has never sounded better IMHO 30 years later! Most of the material sounds remarkably fresh and well-produced.

Guilty pleasure alert "more than a woman" off of the snfever sound track

dtemper sez: "Ok...I won't laugh becuase it was for a good reason...maybe just a little snicker though! And Skep...."Chim Chim Cher-ee" to ya there!"

That's okay. See, I have wonderful memories of Mrs. Sperline, my Second grade teacher at Mirror Lake Elementry School up in Federal Way, WA. I had lots of fun as a 7-year old singing Chim Chim Cher-ee!

Now my third and fourth grade teachers . . . I don't remember their names!

I remember watching movies in the gradeschool gym as a kid on Saturday's. Mysterious Island was my favorite, Island at the Top of the World, and others that escape me at the moment!

Add: 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.

Hey, we did that at Wilsonville Grade School, but all I remember were Francis the Talking Mule movies!

There's an Albertsons there now Mrs. M. and the Lowerie family no longer runs the city.

Who will wave at the hobo's on the train cars? And our row of houses (across from the Spreckles Sugar Heiress's stables on Boeckman Rd) that each had about 5 acres for horses were all bought up and torn down to build McMansions. I don't have the heart to drive by and see.
