To me , it's Curtis Mayfield's Superfly. Tight from beginning to end. Just as powerful now as it was in 1972.

1969 was incredibly good.

Beyond the Valley of the dolls

Clockwork Orange

Blade Runner

Twin Peaks

It's one of my favorite movies. I dig all of Russ Meyer's work. Have a lot of his films on tape.

Again, this topic was discussed not too long ago. The best? I have MANY faves, but if someone put a pistol up to my temple, I would say Curtis's "Superfly", followed hella close by the "Saturday Night Fever" soudtrack or even "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". That soundtrack is brilliant. Like I said though, there are MANY that I believe to be great.

bjork - selma songs

prince - purple rain

basquiat soundtrack

I'm Still In Love With You.... Okayokayokay...this isn't a soundtrack, but in my fantasy it is! *swoon*

To me the best soundtrack SONG ever is A view to a kill by Duran Duran

Buy it! It was unavailable/out of print for a LOOONG Time. SO when if finally got rereleased, I snatched it up. Definitely worth it.

Again.... Touched an angst nerve of mine.

I have been waiting for that for a while now. I don't know why this one and Faster Pussycat are not on DVD yet...as those were the two famous non-nudie ones. I do know that he liked to keep stuff rare and hard to get (FPKK goes for $75 VHS )

My friend did tell me that once a soundtrack gets re-done or re-issued that's usually a sign of good things to come. Russ was also battleing dementia so, that could have been a deterant too.

I think/hoping for the opposite...that due to his death, we'd see these released finally and properly.

Hell half of them are ALLL good in my book. This franchise has produced some of the best movie title soundtracks ever

View to a kill
Spy who loved me
FOr your eyes only
Diamonds are Forever
Man with the Golden Gun

Although View to a Kill...sigh...did you realize that that song is played like 30 times throughout the movie? Even in little places like the big band playing it on the wedding boat Bond Crashes on.

Jesus Christ Superstar

I could mention Shaft, Purple Rain, Parade, O Brother Where Art Thou? and several others, but at the risk of sounding like the lone voice crying out in the wilderness, I vote for:


Passion: Music From The Last Temptation of Christ, Peter Gabriel

A work of pure genius!

Oh, and Namepeace, I love "O Brother Where Art Thou" as well. I can listen to that one over and over again.

Could be because i am partial..

Dirty Dancing
54
8 Mile
Purple Rain
