    I think something that is very important to the overall appeal of a movie is its soundtrack. Could be the opening theme, or the closing credits or the actual OST used throughout the movie. Post your favourites here :slight_smile:

    There are some obvious ones which I'm not going to post actual videos of - Lord of the Rings, the Godfather, many Disney films etc. - but some of the less acknowledged ones that have really stood out to me.

    Blood Diamond (2006)
    Song: Solomon Vandy - James Newton Howard

    [YOUTUBE]hz6kAEQl9mw[/YOUTUBE]

    This played during the final scene of the film, very powerful and very emotional! James Newton Howard is the king of all soundtracks in my opinion.

    Some more of his work:

    Signs (2002)
    Asthma Attack - James Newton Howard

    [YOUTUBE]WyK_f1fJUR8[/YOUTUBE]

    The Village (2004)
    The Gravel Road - James Newton Howard

    [YOUTUBE]1ro4FHd51t4[/YOUTUBE]

    Work by some other composers that I like:

    District 9 (2009)
    Song: Main theme - Clinton Shorter

    [YOUTUBE]kD8LcP3m8fg[/YOUTUBE]

    Noah (2014)
    Song: Make Thee An Ark - Clint Mansell

    I like the last of the mohicans soundtrack. Haven't seen the film, but my dad was playing it and I thought (and still think) it's pretty good.

    And my faviroute track:

    I love the How to Train You Dragon soundtracks, but my favourite is the one from the second movie.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyH9TQ9nPjo

    Now We Are Free from the Gladiator soundtrack is amazing! I love Lisa Gerrard's voice as I'm a sucker for contraltos (so under appreciated as a voice type).
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObGYFInWrU0

    The Blood of Cu Chulainn from the Boondock Saints soundtrack is one of my favourite pieces of pretty much any genre.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1IVZpk_rVo

    The soundtrack from Brave is really good.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoHKzb6DJTg

    The Awesome Mix Volume I from Guardians of the Galaxy is a lot of fun and has some of my mother's favourite songs from her own childhood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLKeZukedZo

    Surprisingly, I really loved the Avengers soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOSTp9hnc50

    Beyond those there are the classics, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Jurassic Park. Pretty much anything by Howard Shore, John Williams, and John Powell.

    Too many...

    Every Barbra Stresiand movie soundtrack, Dancers in the Dark, most Disney animated feature soundtrack, many musicals etc.

    I will drop this example of nice movie album which introduced me to awesomeness of Prince and still give me thrills after all those years... Yeah I've seen 1989 with my own eyes.

    Ouch. Rawrzilla took all of mine D: But yeah, Spring Breakers, Her, Gone Girl, and specially Under The Skin (the scene where ''Love'' plays had me on a sea of emotions). Drive is also like the ''OST'' gem of the neon world.

    Begin Again had a bunch of amazing songs in my opinion, Keira Knightley's voice is pretty in a simple way and I totally love that.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xk5GvfIZG-g

    PS: Spring Breakers is seriously a journey for me specially because of the soundtrack (I'm not big on dubstep but that movie makes it work for what it's worth) so I hope you (Rawrzilla) loved it as much as I did. And also the beggining of Her just before the title card, with those dreamy synths is like I think falling in love would sound. So yup. Peace~

    Pretty much anything by Hans Zimmer is bound to impress!

    This is my favourite one from the last year, it's from Earth to Echo which I thought was a wonderful film -

    YES!​

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!​

    Begin Again uh? Wasn't even on my radar, but since we seem to share a taste in film (and soundtracks) I'll definitely check it out now.

    SAAAAAAME!​

    Yes! YES! YES!​

    One of those movies I knew I had to instantly rewatch as soon as I was done watching it for the first time. I just wish I didn't hate James Franco's character so much, or just James Franco in general.

    Really? I can't say he was as fascinating as the girls but I thought he was pretty cool haha. I guess I was kind of digging the whole ''Gaaangsssta'' style. Haven't you seen ''Palo Alto''? he plays an almost lead character there and now that I think about it the OST in that movie is pretty cool too, it's almost like a tumblr teenage angst movie but I don't know... I liked it.

    By the way, the Friends gif seriously made me laugh so hard :roflmao: Thanks dude
