Well, I'm jamming along to Dionne Farris' cover of Stevie Wonder's "For Once in My Life," and I'm thinking: "Man! The Truth About Cats & Dogs" had a lot of wonderful tunes on its soundtrack! It's really wonderful. And, I'm listening now to "I Believe (when I fall in love it will be forever)" -- another Stevie gem, which made its way onto the "High Fidelity" soundtrack.


So, I'm curious: What are your favorite movie soundtracks or scores? Gimme your top 5. Here are mine:

1. The Fugitive
2. Truth about cats & dogs
3. Ragtime
4. Purple Rain (nostalgia vote)
5. Blue

Purple Rain
Jason's Lyric
Batman(Prince)
Why do fools fall in love


There's a couple

Superfly
Purple Rain
Mahogany
Cleopatra Jones
Batman (Prince)

#1 Parade (Music From The Motion Picture Under The Cherry Moon)
#2 Purple Rain

Jungle Fever
Waiting to Exhale
Koyaanisqatsi

Just got Girls 6 and love it to death. I'll have to say it ties to position #5(well, it doesn't compare with Koyaanisquatsi, but this list isn't in order)

What's on that?

GangstaFam said:

it's peter gabriel's "passion" - the soundtrack for "last temptation of christ".

Cheek said:

Oh, I forgot to mention

Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars

GangstaFam said:

There are lots and lots of versions of the Blade Runner soundtrack, but there doesn't seem to be a perfect(available) definitive one. Off World is quite close. I think there's a Romanian or whatever version that's got everything.

My big sister bought that one after having taken me to see the movie. I recall liking a Sister Sledge song on it.

I don't even actually own some of these soundtracks.I just love all the music in them.

listening to that right now.

We visit the topic of soundtracks a lot here, so I'm going to go with film scores.

The original "Planet Of The Apes" had some really nice music on it.
