Scott Pilgrim vs. the World has the best movie music ever

[Digikid]

Best? No.....however it does fit the movie.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Because I'm So Sad, So Very, Very, Sad.

It's not a race!

Wouldn't say it's anywhere near the best soundtrack ever, but it is one of the most listenable to outside of the film for which it was created. And it's fun! I love starting a playlist with a cry of 'WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB! 1234!'

 

[WorldCritic]

It's definitely up there on my favorites, but I feel like I would be lying if I said it was my number 1.

 

[LitleWaffle]

These are one of my favorite sound tracks, but I wouldn't call it the best.

Try this instead http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/

 

[Yoshisummons]

I demand the three minutes back that I spent listening to that .

 

[JoshFTL]

I think threshold is one of the best songs ever written for a movie, the entire scene with the Twins was fantastic!

 

[JIst00]

Cant comment on SP vs The World, havent seen it, but yeah Elfmazn, Zimmer, Williams, all masters of their craft.

Watched Scream recently, and that hasnt got a bad OST to be fair to it.

1. Youth of America
2. Whisper
3. Red Right Hand
4. (Don't Fear) The Reaper
5. Artificial World [Interdimensional Mix]
6. Better Than Me
7. Whisper to a Scream (Birds Fly)
8. First Cool Hive
9. Bitter Pill
10. School's Out
11. Original Motion Picture Score


But yeah, no matter how many times I hear this, it gives me goosebumps.


Im gonna go out on a limb and say most epic music ever!

 

[Flamezdudes]

Not the best, but it is pretty brilliant. I love the soundtrack and the whole movie!

 

[Lord of Maggots]

I LOVE the movie, but it doesn't have the best movie soundtrack ever. Star Wars has the best soundtrack of all time. The garage punk feel the whole movie gets is great though.

Ok can we all agree on this?This one is best for me but Garbage truck is also good

I disagree.
Also: Wow...That was one of the dullest songs I've listened to in a while.

 

[sb666]

IT IS THE BEST, AGREE WITH ME.

OT: I think my favourite movie piece is Lux Aeterna (only silly people call it the theme to Requiem For A Dream)

clint mansell is a musical genius

Let's just say that the Scott Pilgrim OST is what first got me into Broken Social Scene, Metric, and Blood Red Shoes, and is indirectly responsible for my purchase of Metric's latest album Fantasies, and also directly responsible for my impending purchase of Blood Red Shoes' entire set of albums at HMV when I get around to going into town again. So I'd say it's pretty damn good. It certainly ranks in my list of top movie soundtracks ever at the moment, anyway, a list currently composed of (in no particular order):

- Scott Pilgrim OST
- Inception OST
- 500 Days of Summer soundtrack
- Garden State soundtrack
- All of the Twilight soundtracks (yes, you read that right).

Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Danny Elfman, James Horner and Ennio Morricone among many other luminaries would like to have a word with you regarding that statement.


Hans Zimmer (co-composed with James Newton Howard)



John Williams (this a fav of mine, he has many others)



Danny Elfman



James Horner



Ennio Morricone

This is to say nothing of my newly discovered respect for John Powell (How to Train Your Dragon), Ramin Djawadi (Iron Man) who both created fantastic soundtrack scores for their respective movies.

That said, one day these titans will pass away, and the new blood we're seeing with movies like HTTYD and Iron Man and even Scott Pilgrim will have to raise to the challenge of giving a new set of generations memorable music in their films.

Tron Legacy, The best part of the movie was the soundtrack.
No I'm not saying it was bad, I enjoyed it. The soundtrack is just amazing.

 

[zehydra]

haven't seen the movie, but that was a cool song you provided OP.

But I also think the Village/Signs have some of the best movie music I've heard.

James Newton Howard is the man when it comes to movie scores.

also, I thought the soundtrack to 28 days later was really cool

out of those you only listed one classic styled movie soundtrack, the rest were predominantly pop culture songs (which work well in certain films but calling them a soundtrack is a bit odd, they just happened to have worked well together. Whereas a soundtrack was crafterd FOR a film like inception (and scott pilgrim actually but thats a 50/50 split)

Actually, by it's very definition, a soundtrack is something where music is added to something as a backing layer of sound. Hence the fact that people are allowed to put on movie and game soundtracks (that aren't original) the name '______ soundtrack'. You're thinking of 'original score'. Something where the soundtrack is completely original usually has a word added at the start, that word being 'original'. But something that isn't original is still a soundtrack, so my list still qualifies.

But even when we're talking out-of-film-music-scores, I know at least one example that's so much more awesome, though I must admit that the scene in question helps a great deal:
Now that's a phat beat. That's my 2010 fav for a reason. Yeah, even above Inception despite that being the better film. I don't care, Iron Man 2 was pure unfiltered entertainement. Kept me grinning non-stop for 90 minutes. Delicious.

I prefer the original song for that fight, another one bites the dust. You can't beat Queen.
O.T. Why do you give a shit about the music in a movie? The music in movies are there to go along with the pace of the movie, and add an extra dimension of mood and tone. Taking it out of that context to listen to it as normal music is pointless, which is what a lot of you seem to be doing.
