Which movie(s) do you think has the best soundtrack?
I think American Psycho has a good soundtrack and I listen to it occasionaly.
The Abyss really does something for me, can’t quite put my finger on it
Shrek 2, unironically
Also Sucker Punch and Tron Legacy
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has a fantastic soundtrack. Can really push a system to its limits.
The blade runner soundtrack is my go to relax soundtrack. Have listened to it thousands of times by now.
No one mentioned Donnie Darko yet? Fanatic soundtrack.
-
Reservoir Dogs / Pulp Fiction / Kill Bill
-
Stand By Me
-
Dirty Dancing
-
The Lost Boys
-
Forrest Gump, hands down.
Hackers
The prodigy!
For me the criteria is: would the movie be very different with another soundtrack. The below offerings truly elevate their movies imo.
Tron Legacy
Blade Runner
Black Panther

Let me know if I’m missing something
American Beauty.
It’s the most autumn sounding OST I know, super moody.
The Matrix soundtrack is amazing
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.
Bohemian Rhapsody
Oh just my thing.
- Summer Wars
- Kikojiros Summer
- Dunkirk
- Inception
- Desert Rose
I have a lot of these on my shortlist. More series and even way more videogames
