Favorite Soundtracks?

[Miss Vicky]

Maybe this thread has been done before, I don't know, but in any case -

What are everyone's favorite movie soundtracks? Here are my top five -

1. She's the One - the movie was awful. Absolute crap. But any soundtrack that has nothing but Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (featuring backing vocals by LB on three tracks) has to top my list.
2. A Mighty Wind - Sure, this movie was all about poking fun at Folk music, but in the process they sure made some great folk tunes. Especially love the tracks by "The Folksmen" who, oddly enough, are the very same guys who played "Spinal Tap."
3. With Honors - Great movie. LOVED Patrick Dempsey in that one. And the soundtrack is really good and has everything from Duran Duran, to Lyle Lovett, to Lindsey Buckingham.
4. Gladiator - LOVE the movie. I normally don't like classical-type music, but the instrumentals on this are superb.
5. Wonder Boys - the movie sucked. OMG it was awful. However, the soundtrack is fantastic. Bob Dylans "Things Have Changed" is one hell'va catchy tune, and Leonard Cohen's "Waiting for the Miracle" is wonderful as well. Also has tracks by John Lennon, Neil Young, and more.

Honorable Mentions: Clay Pigeons and The Big Lebowski

Definitely my two favorites are Moulin Rouge and Grease. But I also like the Mermaids soundtrack.

Goodfellas - great mix of really old stuff (Rags to Riches) to 60's rock (Sunshine of Your Love)

Forrest Gump - used to play this one a lot.

Pulp Fiction & Resevior Dogs - they came as a set.

Practical Magic - not just for Stevie - really!

Grease - umm, hel-LO? Cuz it's GREASE?

Hellooo, thank you!
I don't usually pay attention to whole soundtracks, but some of the ones mentioned are great. The only soundtrack I've ever bought was the soundtrack to Last of the Mohicans Guess I should start paying more attention.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Lost in Translation
The Virgin Suicides
Garden State
Lost Highway
Gilmore Girls (!!!- probably the only s.t. I actually listen to somewhat regularly)
She's the One
First Love, Last Rites (Shudder to Think)
The Fastest Guitar Alive (greatest bad movie ever- starring and soundtrack by Roy Orbison)
Singles
Chicago
The Life Aquatic
Moulin Rouge
Sopranos- the Peppers & Eggs/V2 one
Almost Famous

and I was just thinking that the soundtrack to the upcoming Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny will certainly be in there.
