American Beauty.

It's the most autumn sounding OST I know, super moody.

[–] BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 4 points 2 months ago

Rogue One. First time I saw it I was sure no one could hold a candle to John Williams. Then I watched it again and the way Michael Giacchino uses a half-step to underline the theme of hope gives me chills just remembering it.

[–] mwproductions@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

The Third Man has that fantastic zither theme.

[–] mouth_brood@lemmy.one 4 points 2 months ago

Stranger Than Fiction, soundtrack by Spoon

  • Yellow Submarine (I think a lot of people either forget this movie exists, or write it off as a kids movie. You're missing out on a movie that could be considered as revolutionary to animation as the Beatles were to music.)
  • Back to the Future
  • The Muppet Movie
  • School of Rock
  • Bladerunner
  • The Matrix

There's probably other's, but that's what immediately comes to mind.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I was just watching Tenet last night and the music kind of took me out of it sometimes because I was like, “Fuck, that music sounds awesome”, though not sure how well it will stand on its own, I’ve not tried that yet.

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 3 points 2 months ago

The blade runner soundtrack is my go to relax soundtrack. Have listened to it thousands of times by now.

[–] Qkall@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

The Scream 3 soundtrack is one of my favorites and was my introduction to System of a Down.

Swingers has a great oldies/crooner soundtrack.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah American Psycho does have a good soundtrack. Eyes Without a Face is great.

My vote is for Interstellar or some of the other Hans Zimmer ones

The Fifth Element is probably the only soundtrack I have ever bought. The diva's aria is AMAZING!

[–] ReginaPhalange@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I'm not seeing Oppenheimer mentioned , perhaps I'm in the minority here.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Judgement Night - some of the greatest hip-hop & metal crossover songs ever made.

[–] KrakBamKrak@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Atomic Blonde

[–] BaumGeist@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

When I think of exquisite sound design, two of my favorite movies spring to mind: Stalker (1979) and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

The former has such a subtle soundtrack that it's almost like it's not there, but without it so much of the atmosphere of a movie that is heavily atmospheric would be lost.

The latter is just a perfect western with a perfect western soundtrack. The theme is well known, but L'estasi Dell'oro gives me chills every time it starts playing.

[–] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 1 points 2 months ago

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has a fantastic soundtrack. Can really push a system to its limits.

[–] 418_im_a_teapot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Ransom is underrated IMO.
