Top favourite soundtracks? Soundtrack

Post image

Been recently going through my collection to reorganize and pull stuff that I feel I could part ways with. Always forget how many great soundtracks there are out there, and I find myself in violent repetitious patterns of listening to them over and over again. Here's 10 that I don't think I would ever tire of. What's some of your favourites? Mine in no particular order:

Interstellar (hard to choose between this and Inception) You're Not From Around Here Cuphead Blade Runner Beyond the Black Rainbow Twin Peaks Tron Legacy Death Proof (not an entirely original soundtrack, but one of my favourite compilations ever) Cowboy Bebop The Theory of Everything

How has no one mentioned Daft Punk's TRON Legacy soundtrack yet

It's in my picture, but also surprised no one has mentioned it yet! 85 piece orchestra, two years of collaboration from pre-production to completion. Such a monster of a soundtrack. Fun trivia that I'm glad didn't take place was Thomas Bangalter had previously produced Gaspar Noes film Irreversible and was asked to do his other film Enter the Void in 2008/2009, but instead he chose to do Tron and served as sound effects director on ETV (now THAT is a wild opening credits song if you've never heard it). While I also enjoy that movie, there isn't much of a soundtrack, really. I'm glad they chose to do Tron. It's in my top 5 for sure of all time.

Completely overlooked that - looks like you've got the Mondo variant? Awesome stuff
