I found a copy of GREASE the other day and listened to it in my truck for a few days. Really well done but holy crap is it awful. Of course there are the 6 big songs, Grease, Summer Nights, Hopelessly Devoted, You're The One That I Want, Sandy and Greased Lightin', and I had never listened to the lyrics of Greased Lightnin' - that was very funny.

Yeah, "Greased Lightnin'" has some pretty obscene stuff going on. Really funny though.

Perhaps I am incorrect, but it seems many are putting their favorite scores rather than soundtracks. I mean, put whatever you want I guess, favorite car, color, number...but they all seem off subject.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

first ideas flashing in my head :

Paris Texas / Ry Cooder
The Hot Spot / John Lee Hooker, Miles Davis

I'm right there with you on Paris, Texas. Ry Cooder's finest hour in my opinion. I saw the movie on cable in the '80s and found it pretty boring but ran out and bought the soundtrack album the next day.

I am also partial to Band of the Hand (a truly terrible '80s movie) only because the song is such an intense and overlooked Bob Dylan / Tom Petty rocker.

- Ennio Morricone : Once upon a time in the west, Once upon a time in America, Duck you sucker, My name is nobody, Orca, Nuovo Cinema Paradiso,Mission
- Claude Bolling : Borsalino
- Nick Cave : The assassination of Jesse James
- Barry Lyndon
- Alexandre Desplats : Girl with a pearl earring
- Lennie Niehaus : Unforgiven
- Abel Korzeniowski : Nocturnal animals, W.E.
- Michel Magne : Un singe en hiver
- François de Roubaix : La scoumoune
- Nino Rota : The godfather I and II, Amarcord, Fellini's Casanova, E la nave va
- West side story
- Round midnight (Bertrand Tavernier's movie)
- John Barry : Bond's films from Dr No to On her majesty's secret service.

Aside from Shine A Light, Ladies & Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones & Gimme Shelter...I love the " Alfie" soundtrack...Mick & Dave Stewart's project! " Old Habits Die Hard" is a favorite song of mine. Also love " Almost Famous"....Tiny Dancer....hard to beat that!

Hmmm.......

Forrest Gump
Who Made Who
Iron Man II
Cocktail
American Graffiti
Born on the Fourth of July
Braveheart
Dances With Wolves
Days of Thunder
Far And Away
Jurassic Park
Philadelphia
Schindler's List
The original Star Wars trilogy

Does Rattle & Hum count?

When I stared he thread I forgot all about these from my youth, which have stayed with me for a lifetime:

West Side Story

Sound of Music

Mary Poppins

Hard Days Night

Help

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
A Hard Day’s Night
Casino
Robin and Marian - I should explain - In 1976, my wife and I, newly married, went to the cinema to see this film. It was with Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn, about an aging Robin Hood and his love for Maid Marian. The music, to me, was hauntingly beautiful, with some wonderful flute (I play flute). About 20 years ago I came across a recording of it. It still moves me. By the way, we’re still married!
Amadeus
Chariots of Fire

Easy Rider / Repo Man / Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas / Shine A Light (from the Scorsese movie)


About Scorsese and the Stones songs in his movies : [www.vulture.com]

Countryman -- another reggae flick, great music

Valley Girl - great soundtrack rereleased by Rhino

Morricone's Battle of Algiers (great movie as well)

I just love that 'Out Of Time' (both versions) are in several movies, certainly more than one would think, but to me it's top 3 Most Underrated songs.. Including most recently: Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

Lurv Out Of Time .... The Stones velvet put-down ....

The scenes of that guy running are superb.
What a beautiful runner he was.

For a moment I thought you were referring to Willie Nelson's reggae album. My bad!

Going with Elmo on The Big Chill. The opening bars of YCAGWYW at the beginning of the film for the funeral scene knocked me out. Then "Heard it Through the Grapevine" later on and other great tunes added to the fun.

Really enjoyed "Out of Time" lately in Once Upon a Time....

Loved Casino, but, soooo disappointed that CYHMK was not on the released sound track.
Found that out after I bought it.

~"Love is Strong"~

Top three:

Chariots of Fire • Main Theme • Vangelis : Not just the music, but also the movie, all great!

Green Ice soundtrack by Bill Wyman

Paint It Black, River Plate Stadium, Buenos Aires, 1998

Vangelis because he is one the greatest composers of soundtracks ever, along with Morricone, and "Chariots of Fire" is simply a "must see" movie.

Bill Wyman, because he wrote the great Green Ice soundtrack, without getting much fame from it.

Paint It Black live in Argentina, because I got the soundtrack when I was there in 1998, between the shows, and it has been the soundtrack of my life ever since.

I just mixed up Easy Rider and Lawless..................makes a pretty decent hour and a bit.........

Performance
More
Mahoney’s Last Stand
The Last Waltz
Woodstock

Animal House

American Giraffe

The Sting

I forgot about Rainbow Bridge. I’ve never seen the movie, but love the soundtrack. I don’t recall ever seeing an official VHS, DVD or Blu-Ray release of the movie, or ever hearing of a screening at an art house or film festival. Anyone know what’s the hold-up?

Here are some of my favorites:

Casino - Great movie & great songs!
Smokin' Aces - Great movie! Love the "Big White Cloud" scene!
The Transporter - When Jason S. kicks in the door to the song "The Fighting Man".
Go - Cool movie with some good songs!
The Replacements - Fun movie with 3 Stones songs!

Guess we gotta count Magical Mystery Tour. Though I don't think that's necessarily the spirit of the OP.

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory (2005 Tim Burton version)
Of all the tracks, I love ‘Veruca Salt’ — it feels like more genuine and authentic than any psychedelic songs written and produced in the real era c.1967, makes me feel euphoric whenever I hear it.

Paris texas

....well youd be better
off gorrint the recordings of Blind Willie Johnson



ROCKMAN

Repo Man? Gimme Shelter?

Anyone else?

I always thought Danny Elfman's score on "Midnight Run" was really good. The horn section gives it a cool Stax Records kind of sound. Underrated, IMO. Also a great movie.
