Anyone got any decent recommendations?
I can't be the only person who downloaded 'Requiem for a Dream' just to see what all the fuss was about after Anders Breivik went on a killing-spree in Norway, er, can I?
That 'Lux Aterna' is a decent tune as it goes.
I used to have all the 'obvious' soundtracks years back - Godfather(s), Once Upon A Time in America, loads of Westerns, anything Morricone contributed to.
Anything else worth listening to in recent years?
Yann Tiersen the artist who did the soundtracks to
'Amelie' and 'Goodbye Lenin' is worth checking out.
His last album 'Dust Lane' is fantastic 
He also says Joy Division are one of his main influences.
I watched Vanilla Sky again a while back and actually quite liked it which i hadn't done on first viewing a few years back. Good soundtrack. Fruer's 'Doot Doot' a highlight
Robin Guthrie & Harold Budd's soundtrack to "Mysterious Skin". One of the best American films of the last decade to boot:
My favourite soundtrack, while probably not what you're after at all, is Don't Look Now. The album's a bit of a bitch to find, but worth it if you fancy several haunting versions of the lovely John's Theme:
(and, of course, best avoided if you don't).
I've not seen Wonderland, or heard the rest of the soundtrack, but if it's anything like this then I really should and so should you.
The perverts among you will note that this tune was also used in Michael Winterbottom's Nine Songs; another film that has a great soundtrack (it would though, wouldn't it).

Might be a tad pretentious - but Wim Mertens "Belly Of An Architecht" has a nice chill-out feel.

Ace!:D Use it freely around the site, Col, to "like" anything you, well, like.
I found a random ^Colin Torr likes this" on your Facebook, took a snapshot of the screen, cropped it and uploaded it. I want to get one for myself except anything i've liked on Facebook says *You like this" which is no good on here is it:\ohwell: Gonna have to work something out...
Lost Highway soundtrack is pretty good. It was produced by Trent Reznor. David Bowie, Smashing Pumpkins, NIN, Lou Reed
My Bloody Valentine, Kevin Shields (solo), Sebastien Tellier, Phoenix, Squarepusher and East Kilbride's finest....
I'm more a fan of the "random songs from decades past put to good use" soundtrack than the original ones, so my picks would be:
O Brother Where Art Thou? Rushmore (500) Days of Summer Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (better than the movie) The Kids Are Alright (the Who doc, not the new movie)
Do you remember a 1990 instrumental synthesizer cover project by Nick Magnus and Chris Cozens called The Synthesizer Album? You may remember the TV adverts, especially as there was a second album released a year later. My brother bought the original on release (on cassette) for £8.99, before I bought it in the sales for just £2.99 - and didn't I make a deal out of it! :D
Anyway, I have one of these That's Entertainment stores in my new home town, and have found seven CD copies of the music - and bought five of them!
On it you will find Eve Of The War (War Of The Worlds),
Chariots Of Fire,
Love Theme (from Midnight Express)...
But my favourite track on the album is the Crockett's Theme cover. Well worth listening to, if you can find a copy.
Air's soundtrack to the Virgin Suicides is terrific. For oldies but goodies, check out the soundtrack of Platoon. It has the gorgeous Adagio for Strings as well as '60s standards.
I like the Tron Legacy soundtrack, althought the remix album of the soundtrack is a shocker!

Isn't it by Daft Punk?
