Movies (or games) that you can tell are awesome... just from their soundtrack.

[FROGGEman2]

What are some movies that you can tell are awesome just from their soundtrack?

My submission is Paprika.

Here is a playlist... well, a guy who has all of the songs. Not Noir, Paprika.

But there are two that really grab me.
One is tense and terrifying, the other completely irrational... and... fantastical.

Both of them are masters of their areas, both in the one, truly epic, film.

So, what other films wear this title?

Don't you feel your patriotism for your planet burning through your veins when you hear it?
oh well, maybe just me then... But we have a war to win, people!

 

[Bob Saget]

Personally, I was always a huge fan of the Deus Ex soundtrack.

I was expecting you to have this It's a good day to die [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIsv1YOFNys]

which isn't really as awesome...

I purposefully avoided that.
It is another Dark Chapter in the history of the Starship Troopers.
I think Heinlein would turn over in his grave if he could see what happened after the first film. (as in 2nd and 3rd films. he might accept the series, though)

One of the movie soundtracks I have favourated on youtube, because I'm too cheap to buy this stuff.

May I suggest...

Spoiler: The Terminator

And since it wouldn't be a movie based thread without me wrapping my lips around this masterpiece for another suckle at its brilliance.

Spoiler: Das Boot

Don't pay attention to the amount of selling out that seems to have been done in the video.

 

[NIHILHATE]

SILENT HILL!
And Queen of the Damned.

 

[Spaghetti]

Gonna agree with the Starship Troopers one, the soundtrack from the first one is awsome...but the book will always be better.

My vote is the theme from the Battle of Britain


Tally ho!

 

[Hoppetussa]

I know it's not out yet, but Brutal Legend.

 

[Mardy]

Any movie/game where they use music Hans Zimmer made, that guy's pretty good at making music.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

The Halo soundtracks are better than the games (I like the games). Also Mass Effect brilliant game and brilliant soundtrack to go with it. I thought GTA IV would be awesome after I heard it's soundtrack, turns out I was wrong there.

Barra Barra ftw!

Lord of the rings had the most epic soundtrack. it MADE the movie.

LOL!

I am sooo happy for the fact that I haven't seen the third Starship Troopers movie. The second really blew chunks all the way through and that song just... Oh my god, it stinks so badly, I feel dirty for just having heard it.

Of course, the first Starship Troopers wasn't all that grand either, but at least it worked. With that one I can fantasize that im watching Imperial Guardsmen fighting Tyranids all the way through it. : )

As for great movie soundtracks:

 

[Veylon]

Lord of the Rings. The Dark Knight. Anything John Williams.

 

[zerzxes]

DOOM, has absolutely brilliant soundtrack Trust me! [http://www.doomworld.com/classicdoom/info/music.php?wad=doom.wad]

 

[CaesarsSalad]

Banjo Kazooie. I sure hope that everyone here has played this gem but for those that don't know: the music varies in every level, depending on where you are. It was incredible.

Also F-Zero X. Awesome music for a fastpaced racing game.

i'm going to have to say the game Wet, anything with that much psychobilly in it can't be a bad game at all
