A Clockwork Orange or Z

A Clockwork Orange is a good call.

Loved the Vietnam films.

Apocalypse Now
Platoon
Good Morning Vietnam

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Yeah, all jammed packed with excellent pop classics.A mate of mine is thinking of buying The Boat that Rocked sountrack for the same reason.

Are we talking soundtracks with new music on or just a load of old tracks cobbled together on an album?

Judgement Night had an excellent soundtrack featuring a set of crossovers between rap and metal. The film did nothing (Emilio Estevez being chased around by Dennis Leary having witnessed a murder) but the album is still a regular on my iPod and most of the artists were pretty big in their time.

The format was repeated with a twist for Spawn, metal again but this time fused with techno and it worked just as well.

Would highly recommend both to anyone who likes the genres.

IIRC The Beach had a pretty good original soundtrack as well (better than the film anyway!).

In terms of compilations of existing music, The Matrix soundtrack was excellent.

An excellent album and one I brought without ever seeing the film, after being hooked on the Rap/Metal crossover after the Anthrax/Public Enemy offerings. I am sure these two events had a big influence on the formation of the Nu Metal scene, which unfortunately got sucked up it's own arse.

Probably be ribbed about this but I have always enjoyed the Pulp Fiction soundtrack for bringing together tracks I would probably not have listened to before the film.

Judgement Night is a quality soundtrack.

My favourite though is Natural Born Killers!

Moonraker and Spy who Loved Me. Karate Kid, Ferris Bueller...Goodfellas

The Karate Kid is an excellent soundtrack.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Amazed no one mentioned Tarantino's film soundtracks. He dug out some absolute gems on Reservoir Dogs & Pulp Fiction.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

The Karate Kid is an excellent soundtrack.

Agreed, but I'll take Rocky IV as slightly superior, mainly due to Robert Tepper's 'No Easy Way Out'.

Also in a 1980's mode, I played The Lost Boys soundtrack to death when I was growing up.

 

[Yer Blues]

Beverley Hills Cop....Awesome

 

[MK Shrimper]

For a bit of South African rap where you can't understand a single word, try Tsotsi.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Good Morning Vietnam has a belting soundtrack, I always thought...
