100 MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS

[RCMerchant]

We ain't done the listing thing in a while-and it's fun. Some movies I couldn't imagine without the soundtrack. Some movies-(like DEEP RED) are so much better with the soundtrack. I couldn't imagine HALLOWEEN (1978) without that music!

I'm still not able to see posted videos so I'll just show my entry without a video:
4. EXORCIST- Mike Oldfield

[Rev. Powell]

5. MANOS, THE HANDS OF FATE

I actually like this soundtrack. I'm not joking. It's much more competent than the underlying movie, "Torgo's Theme" is a true earworm, and this song has terrible lyrics ("Forgetting you/Is a thing I cannot do/Yet I know it is very true/I'm forgetting you...") but a wonderful melody:

7. 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY

Even though Stanley Kubrick used no original music (he decided not to go with the soundtrack MGM commissioned from Alex North, which is actually pretty good), the classical music selections he made are absolutely perfect and all instantly iconic.

13. the GOOD, THE BAD and the UGLY (1966)

One of the coolest things I ever seen.

[Rev. Powell]

14. AMADEUS (1984)

Again, not original music, but perfectly integrated into the story. This scene is brilliantly done (Salieri wrote a march to honor Mozart, and he sits down at the piano to play it):

The theme to Dracula is great.
