Which movie(s) do you think has the best soundtrack?
I think American Psycho has a good soundtrack and I listen to it occasionaly.

The wackness - iconic 90s hip hop songs
28 days later - introduced me to post rock vibes
Reservoir Dogs, O Brother Where Art Though, Blues Brothers, From Dusk til Dawn,
Once upon a time the west. (Ennio Morricone)
Blade runner (Vangelis)
I’m going to reframe this as who I think the best composers are:
Bernard Hermann, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, etc.
John Williams, E.T., Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, etc.
Akira Ifukube, most of the Shōwa era Godzilla movies
Shiro Shigasu, Evangelion, Shin Godzilla
As far as new work, I’m partial to Scott Stafford on Ultraman Rising. It came out on Netflix this past June and I was really surprised how good that movie and soundtrack were.
- Yellow Submarine (I think a lot of people either forget this movie exists, or write it off as a kids movie. You’re missing out on a movie that could be considered as revolutionary to animation as the Beatles were to music.)
- Back to the Future
- The Muppet Movie
- School of Rock
- Bladerunner
- The Matrix
There’s probably other’s, but that’s what immediately comes to mind.
Just watched the whole movie. Absolutely loved it.
Romeo and Juliet (the one with Claire Danes and Leo DiCaprio)
Pulp Fiction
Buena Vista Social Club
Help! (Or any of the Beatles movies)
Purple Rain
La Boum (French movie, 1980)
Fame and The Kids from Fame (the 1970’s Original, not he reboot)
Blues Brothers
Romeo and Juliet is my all-time favorite Shakespeare adaptation. And yes, the soundtrack is perfect.
Romeo + Juliet IS a great soundtrack. And as a Beatles fan I have to agree with the Beatles soundtrack, the movies not so much.
interstellar, interstella5555, gladiator
Birdman. Just drums. Really fucking good drums. Also they appear in the middle of one scene in an excellent way.
Also: not a movie, but Cowboy Bebop. Lots and lots of great tracks.
Godzilla 1998
Varsity Blues
Can’t believe no-one mentioned The Crow…
It can’t rain all the time.
Ransom is underrated IMO.
Buried.
Banger after banger
I’m not seeing Oppenheimer mentioned , perhaps I’m in the minority here.
