Movie Soundtracks

[Ludo*1]

You've got the easily famous ones. Godfather, Jaws, and lots of horrors (Exorcist, Freddy, Halloween etc) that are iconic tunes. What's an iconic film theme for you?

I'll pick a less conventional one to start it off with:

However, despite the words meaning nothing, I think it's one of the most emotional soundtracks out there and works perfectly with the film.

Era-defining.

No... this is a soundtrack!

Carrie: (Brilliantly atmospheric soundtrack)
Battlestar Galactica: (New TV Series)
The Exorcist: (if only because it helped put Mike Oldfield on the map!)
Star Wars: A New Hope (the one that started off 'proper' soundtracks again!)
Suspiria: (Can't beat a bit of 'Goblin' :-)  )
Psycho: (Minimalist magic-Hard to beat this.)
Once Upon a Time in America - (Amazing movie, wonderful Morricone soundtrack)
Fame: (The original Alan Parker one-A hard hitting movie that led to a saccharine TV series.)
Escape From New York: (John Carpenter's best soundtrack - especially "Shoot a cop!")
Midnight Express: (Georgio Morodor at his finest. (And Randy Quad (and John Hurt!) singing Istanbul blues - sadly replaced on the soundtrack album!))
ALIEN: (One of THE greatest movies of all time, with one of the best soundtracks.)

Bladerunner: (The movie with the greatest number of "soundtracks" available... whilst not being available!)

(I would have loved to include Mike Oldfield's-"The Killing Fields" in here - the only soundtrack he has written- sadly, it's just not as good as the above)

Restless Natives

One of my favourite bands and a film I still watch fairly often. Big Country's sound can get me a bit emotional when I've had a couple of loud mouth soups.

Fantastic film, fantastic soundtrack
