Cool BEST MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS

Since we'be done with "Best Underground Movies" and "Best 80's Rock Bands" how about "Best Movie Soundtracks" ?

Rules are simple: Nominate the entire sountrack or individual songs from your favorite movie soundtrack.

I like these three for starters:

1. Adagio for Strings (Platoon)

2. Jump into the fire (Harry Nillson from "Goodfellows")

3. To live and die in LA (Soundtrack entirely by Wang Chung)

What say you ?

My vote is for Team America.

The instrumental version of the First Blood theme is one of my favorites... Don't know about the rest of the sound track

To Live And Die In L.A. is a classic.

Collateral has a very good sampling of songs (my favorite being Audioslave's "Shadow on the Sun"), there are some great gems on both volumes of the Boogie Nights soundtrack, and both the soundtrack and original score (by Jerry Goldsmith) to L.A. Confidential are awesome.

Braveheart.

The Devil's Rejects (Great classic rock on there)

The theme to the original Rocky

This is going to get me laughed at, but The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

The theme music to Halloween (that freaky piano)

The "Duh duh.... duh duh...... duh da duh da du dah " part from the original Jaws

Boogie Nights Sountrack:

What is humorus is that they actually include the Mark Wahlberg demo recording called "We will rock you" from the scene in the movie at the recording studio. It cracks me up every time I hear it due to it's crappy sound, as intended in the movie.

Last of the Mohicans: Never gave it a thought, but I'm going to listen more closely next time it's on one of the movie channels.

I put the Kingdom of Heaven soundtrack on when I'm writing sometimes. Yo Yo Ma on the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon soundtrack is nice background music for working too.

The tribal drums/electric guitar contrast on the Black Hawk Down instrumental stuff is cool too.
