The soundtrack to 'Garden State' is incredibly good. On that soundtrack, the cover of The Postal Service's 'Such Great Heights' by Iron & Wine is powerful enough to stop you in your tracks and hold you fast and make you remember those things about your past that it took you years to forget.

Here are the lyrics:

I love that version, real nice 🙂

One favourite doesn't come to mind, but the best film composer has got to be Ennio Morricone, whose list of credits is too long to mention. Maybe most famously known for his work on "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly".

The song "New Slang" by The Shins is also a great song that is on the soundtrack to "Garden State".

Surely Star Wars has to be right up there, as do Flash Gordon, More and of course Jaws, but strangely my favourtie is probably The Fifth Element.
I must admit I purchased this album too. Combining sci-fi and opera was a delight for me. The mad lucy aria just fits so well in this movie.

Blues Brothers s/t: Ray Charles, Aretha, Cab Calloway doing 'Minnie the Moocher' (my fave scene from the movie - well, one of them...), James Brown and of course the BBs themselves...
I recently bought a double pack of their albums (Soundtrack and Made In America [I think]), great songs. Minnie the Moocher is great.

Trying to find the DVD now.

Either Reality Bites or Rocky Horror Picture Show. Amadeus does get kudos though.

CC's stage performance of the song is great. and how could i have not mentioned the BBs performing as the 'Good Ole Boys', doing the theme from Rawhide behind chicken wire in a country and western bar? (we have both kinds of music. country AND western)

Amadeus soundtrack has to be the best though.

Thats his 25 symphony right? Thats surely one of the best pieces of music I have ever heard.

A Beautiful Mind. Jamer Horner if I recall correctly.

Danny Alfman is usually good, Howard Shore, Enya.

Do you mean Danny Elfman? He did the score for the Simpsons.

A Beautiful Mind is good. Strangely, don't hang me, but the Daredevil soundtrack is OK. I think it's great.

As long as you agree Daredevil the movie was horrible then we are okay 😉 just kidding

Depending on my mood, either the aforementioned Blues Brothers, Pink Floyd's The Wall, or Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

"Thelma and Louise" has a great soundtrack, as does "Pulp Fiction".

On the instrumental tack, I'd have to go with "Star Wars".
