Best Music in a Movie (Top 5)

[W]

Ok, well, I tried to restart this on the other board, but lets try it here again. I want your top 5 overall film's music so that I can do a "Fantaverse's Favorite" out of it. I'm scrapping the Anchorman one since there are too few people interested in it.

[Brockster]

Top 5, in order.

1. Top Gun
2. Footloose
3. Lord of the Rings Trilogy
4. Dirty Dancing
5. Almost Famous

[Donte77]

1. Once
2. Garden State
3. Into the Wild
4. Purple Rain
5. Judgement Night

[W]

These aren't necessarily my favorites, but they are great ones:

Star Wars (let the first film encompass all please)
Walk the Line (Joaquin Phoenix was just great doing Cash and Reese wasn't too bad either)
Grease (not near a favorite of mine, but really should easily be included)
Reservoir Dogs (the "Stuck in the Middle" scene alone is probably my favorite use of non-original music in a film)
Forrest Gump

[Buscemi]

(tie) every Tarantino film
Forrest Gump
(tie) Goodfellas/Casino
Almost Famous
American Graffiti

[BanksIsDaFuture]

I can't think of a Top 5, but Where The Wild Things Are would be in there somewhere....

[W]

I need more please... If not I'll have to pick about fifty myself and then I'll hear "but you forgot ______" and I'll say, "No, sir/mam, you forgot it!"

I love the Lion King soundtrack, I listen to it often. The only other soundtracks i have are Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean.

[BarcaRulz]

Requiem for a Dream.
Donnie Darko.
Gladiator.
The Lion King.
Aladdin.
The Godfather.
Lord of War.

[Geezer]

I just never really pay attention to soundtracks in movies.

[undeadmonkey]

you may not pay attention to the soundtrack, but it's a huge part of the movie's that you love. Take the soundtrack out of one of your favorite movies for example and, i promise, you wont like it as much.

[W]

Not just the soundtrack, but like in Reservoir Dogs, the "Stuck in the Middle" part is my favorite in any QT film...

[silversurfer19]

Some that immediately come to mind:

Requiem For A Dream
High Fidelity
Fight Club
A Life Less Ordinary
Rushmore
Dazed And Confused
Romeo And Juilet
The Virgin Suicides
A Nightmare Before Christmas
Beetlejuice
This Is Spinal Tap
Wizard Of Oz
Superman
Star Wars
The Graduate
Psycho
Jaws
Vertigo
Trainspotting
Pinocchio
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
Beauty And The Beast
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Chinatown
O Brother Where Art Thou
Back To The Future
A Clockwork Orange

[Geezer]

Oh I'm sure UDM, but I just don't remember any of them enough to say that I could put together a list. I know that if you take away a film's music it becomes vastly different.

You better put South Park: BLU on the list though W, because what WOULD Brian Boitano do?

There you go.

You found one!

Never say never.
