Starship Troopers
Lord of the Rings

I'm going to sound like a wanna-be Goth Hot Topic 13y/o girl, but Danny Elfman rocks.

I liked the Planet Of the Apes and Batman soundtracks a lot.. but I'm guessing you're referring to Edward Scissorhands and Nightmare Before Christmas?

Anything that Lisa Gerrard has worked on, Gladiator, The Whale Rider, Tears Of The Sun, Heat, The Insider, Ali, Layer Cake, to name a few…

Agreed on all these, especially on Gladiator and not so much on Ali... that one didn't grab me like those did.

That's about all I own in the area of soundtracks, but they're all very good.

Anthrax did a pretty, erm, crappy one for Ghosts of Mars.

Edit: Forgot to mention my own favourites

Conan the Barbarian
Lord of the Rings trology
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Plus some less epic stuff like The Terminator, Robocop, Predator - a lot of 80s action films had really great scores.

Well, the Ali soundtrack in general sucks, she has one song on the regular soundtrack and two on the More Songs From Ali version, or its the other way around.

If I recall, now that I think about it, the song on the main soundtrack is on her Mirror Pool album. She's amazing either way. I can't wait for the new Dead Can Dance album.

it's a-murderin' time.

They announced a new album? I thought it was just a cash-grab tour.

Well, in any case, if they release one more goddamned 'best of,' and it's missing any songs from the debut... then it's a-murderin' time.

Post subject:	Soundtracks
I don't think this topic has been discussed in depth before, at this site. So I have two points for discussion: 1) What are people's favourite soundtracks? I was thinking about how much Goblin's work on Suspiria rules, and that inspired this particular question. 2) Are there any really good metal film soundtracks? Because if there are I don't think I've heard them...

I like soundtracks to films I never saw: Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds Ulver - Lyckantropen Themes Ulver - Svidd Neger Boris - Sound Track from Film "Mabuta No Ura" And if we are speaking about the ones I did see then the only one I can mention is La Marche De L'Empereur OST (it's also known as The March of the Penguins, but the English one has a different soundtrack). I don't like the ones which are consisting of various composers (or bands). Imo, a composer should make the soundtrack specially for the film and not just pick random songs from his/her album that seem to fit the mood of the film. For a good soundtrack should be an album on it's own and not just a compilation of songs.

I agree with Desolate (and his album list). also... the soundtrack to Tron is absolutely perfect.

Yes! I love soundtracks. After metal, it's my most active genre. My favs depend on what mood I'm in.. if I'm in a metal mood, then some of the better ones are Last Knight - the best battle soundtrack IMO Starship Troopers Conan the Barbarian - finally re-released Crimson Tide - 2nd best by Zimmer Lord of the Rings Gladiator - best by Zimmer I've yet to check out Kingdom of Heaven, but something tells me I should. Pirates of the Caribbean - this one is like an amalgamation of all Hans Zimmer's soundtracks, i.e. really good unless you've heard all his other ones.

Radagast just posted near enough exactly what I was going to, even though I don't own any of those soundtracks I enjoy them emmensely. I just spelt that wronng.

The new soundtrack for the Advent Rising game is pretty kick ass. Charlotte Martin sings on three songs.
