Greatest Movie Soundtrack Album/Song

[RammyMP]

I played the ‘Good Morning Vietnam’ soundtrack to death when I was a lad.

Top Gun cracking as well but can’t beat ‘You’re So Cool’ from True Romance. Great film!

Another vote for Highlander.

AKA A Kind of Magic, don't know if that disqualifies it.

[SAB888]

My favourite Movie Soundtrack Album is the film Oblivion by M83. Play it quite regularly.

Agreed, amazing and easily as good as the Joy Division original.

Moby's version fits the film so well.

Moby’s Bond theme is awesome too. Live was even better.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - I simply think this is perfection.
Diamonds are Forever - I particularly like this one it has a truly brilliant song and some wonderful tracks but it's neck and neck with..............................
On Her Majesty's Secret Service it contains Journey to Blofelds Hideaway which is wonderful
If you are looking at poppy stuff then Saturday Night Fever is excellent.
