The 40 best film soundtracks of all time

Before Garden State and 500 Days of Summer, the team behind the adaptation of Nick Hornby’s novel compiled 15 tracks like a mixtape. It was one its lead character would have approved of: as with many of the soundtracks on this list, High Fidelity’s success lies in a balance between old-school gems by the Velvet Underground, The Kinks and Elvis Costello to Noughties newcomers like Stereolab and Royal Trux.

Where is once upon a time in west?

No The Lost Boys? There must be some mistake?

So, this guy here is really not happy with your list, actually he's pretty upset his favourites are not even mentioned 😁👇

Interstellar and LOTR

Good morning viitnam top gun trainspoting matrix

Reservoir Dogs Quadraphenia The great rock n roll swindle Trainspotting C'mon guys, really?

No.1 Grease

Tiny Dancer, Tiny Dancer, Tiny Dancer,

'The Wizard Of Oz' & 'Natural Born Killers'.

Woodstock ☂️😇☂️ Fallout101

Lack of “The Blues Brothers” makes this list invalid.

Harry potter

Easy rider has to be in there somewhere.

Eh? No Schindler's List soundtrack? No Betty Blue Soundtrack No Nikita soundtrack? Shurely Shome Mishtake?!

Interesting

Shite. Where's robocop?

24 hr party ppl Straight outta Compton Trainspotting

Got to be hungry eyes

kristoffdice

olipover2

What about this one The best

Is this a joke? No Oh Brother Where Art Thou? and no Judgement Night

Empire Records isn't on here?

August Rush should have been included

Speaker

And the entire Rock Star soundtrack! They freakin NAILED the 80s sound!!

Flash Gordon....cheesy as hell movie but the Queen soundtrack was awesome! Also cool was Escape from New York with Kurt Russell...'Call me Snake'...lol

How is The Crow not on this list? Seriously.

'O Brother Where Art Thou' where art thou

No 'Judgement Night'? Massively underrated as a cross genre boundary breaker.

No Wicker Man, no Grease, no Greatest Showman, no Forrest Gump. And I ain’t even got started. Crap.

You forgot Star Wars, Saturday Night Fever, The Godfather and The Sting, just for starters.

No jungle book 😲

No jungle book? No trainspotting?

2001 & Clockwork Orange

You didn’t put Pulp Fiction as number 1 and Judgment Night didn’t even make the list. This is obviously put together by an amateur.

Any Kubrick movie, they’re all top 10...

Not a one in there I would buy. The usual “arty” mix.

Where is Easy Rider.

As long as there's Lost Translation soundtrack in it. I'll buy it 😉

worlds first convenient mixtapes

The writer of this article never seen boogie nights?

Cabaret

Cinema Paradiso.

The Independent posts one of these clickbait lists every ten minutes. What happened?

Lost in translation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

No “Bomberang”, “Dead Presidents” or “Waiting to Exhale”?!? 🤨

Not accurate. The crow, fast and furious, blade, ... And many others are not there at all.

these are quite predictable

The Virgin Suicides is the best...

Terrible list. Most of them are just compilations of existing music. The 40 greatest soundtracks are surely those with original music by one of many brilliant film composers, Morricone, Goldsmith, Bernard Hermmann, Elmer Bernstein, Alex North, etc...

twittalk2 For me, Lost Boys was amazing

The Devil's Rejects. Totally messed up movie but amazing classic rock focused soundtrack.

Wait a minute! SHAFT is not listed. Somebody is smoking something.

Darjeeling Limited is my personal favourite

The answer is Gladiator

Stop this 40 grestest this, 37 best that. Its shit! Serve real news!

Hosier's Better Love from The Legend of Tarzan was a soundtrack to remember.

Batman Robin was a terrible film but the soundtrack was great. It should've made the list

you missed Streets of fire and Cat people

FletcherWDSU Sorry-I kinda don’t agree with this list.......because it’s just not right.

How old is the compiler?

No animated movies? Spiderverse?

It’s a great list, but can’t accept not to include “Spawn”, that mixes great electronic and heavy rock names of the 90s. And “Judgement Night” with rap and heavy rock names together in amazing tracks, too.

Great list. I would like to see 40 greatest international soundtracks. Want to see if you include on of my favorites.

The Crow: City of Angels was a pretty good soundtrack.

Available on Deezer

No Bladerunner? No Saturday Night Fever? Or did I miss them?

No Apocalypse Now 0/10

Book smart which was released earlier this year 👌🏻 brilliant soundtrack and adds to the character of the movie

Is this a joke?

I hope blade runner is in there 👌❤😊👍👌❤

Trainspotting

What? Lost Boys. Reservoir Dogs. McVicar. Quadrophenia. The Good the Bad the Ugly. The Sound of Music. 2001 Space Odyssey..... I could go on!

ffolliet Here you are paperclipracket I don't endorse this list btw

I missed Vanilla Sky and Once Upon a Time in the West

Atomic blonde

Trainspotting at no.5 ? Really

Jesus no Lost Boys...

Pump up the Volume? Rocky? Top Gun?

Purple Rain should be 1. Where is... The Karate Kid soundtrack? Risky Business? Reality Bites? And Goodfellas at the end? Come on!

Pump up the Volume and Basquiat are huge oversights here

I liked Almost Famous until the child porn.

My top 5 O.S.T. of all time: 1) Rocky (1-4) 2) Braveheart 3) Godfather 4) Amelié 5) Terminator (1 & 2)

Goodfellas should be 1.

😘

Flashdance? WTF 'Death in Venice' with Mahler should be number one.

Mississippi Burning is good

Where’s The Big Chill? Horrible list.

The Independent, aside from slavering at the mouth rabidly and ranting on metropolitan street corners about Remain, has descended into a clickbait list site.

fa_radiovinil

Naming none of the Lord of the Rings soundtracks is criminal.

Can’t believe cocktail and top gun didn’t make it

The soft parade has now begun 🎼

Lost In Translation..the best

Braveheart. Of all time.

Michael Jackson album RETURNS to Top 40 after sex abuse documentary Leaving NeverlandMICHAEL JACKSON’S hits collection has returned to the UK Top 40 despite the shocking claims made against him in Leaving Neverland. Because people prefer to drown out victims voices..if only SA survivors could put messages on buses Most of the world’s most entertaining people, whether arts, music, etc were probably created by people with sick minds. What do we do? Only watch/listen to brand new stuff Lol I thought they were serious
