1. I prefer my tubular bells without the scary movie.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

2. Perhaps the greatest instrumental album of all time!

[Croney]

4. You evil @#$&%!

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. I have to disagree.......THIS is the best

[Kaleva]

18. Never hire a mortician to be the makeup artist.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. In the first few seconds, I chill ran down my spine. Literally.

The music is hauntingly beautiful.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

6. A friend and I were first in line to see it. We dropped acid on the way to the theater. We were

still in our seats after the everyone else had left and the house lights came on.

[Arkansas Granny]

7. How long did it take you to recover from the experience?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

8. I'm hoping by 2032!

9. Begging your forgiveness, and with all due respect, it's actually this one:

[yardwork]

14. Yes!

[lark]

28. Grease!!

Don't have the video, but I adore Grease, so much fun.

[TomSlick]

13. I vote West Side Story.

[WSSlover]

44. Thank you for posting this, TomSlick!

I, too, vote for West Side Story (i. e. the soundtrack to the 1961 film version!!)

[True Dough]

15. Why settle for tubular bells

when you can have...

[flibbitygiblets]

25. I got a fever!

[SKKY]

16. Because I grew up on punk, and still kinda like it...

...I'm going with this.

[Dave Starsky]

23. Excellent choice.

I'm also partial to this one, from around the same time:

[SKKY]

24. Oh Snap!!! You almost made me second guess my choice...

...almost. I'm still going with Repo Man, but yes, that is indeed an amazing sound track.

[lark]

29. Awesome choice.

So enjoyed hearing Sammy belt this out, he always rocks so hard!!

[Dave Starsky]

34. I think Samuel was born with a guitar in his hand.

Even his work with Montrose was amazing, and I think he was barely out of high school when they made their first album.

I just listened to the Heavy Metal soundtrack the other day. It still sounds fantastic. It's like a mini-museum of all that was good about rock in the early '80s.

[GReedDiamond]

17. That's very good. Than there are these guys...

Also, I think Mike Oldfield was all of 19 years old when Tubular Bells was released - fantastic record!

[WSSlover]

45. The Beatles! Ahhhhh, yes!

The very best in the rock'n'roll department.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Nope. Best soundtrack of all time is:

It's Mozart. Nobody is, was, or ever will be better.

[Duppers]

21. Excellent!

[Ron Obvious]

22. You are, of course, completely correct.

That is the Gold Standard against which all others will fail.

[edbermac]

20. Love MO, but they only used a few second of TB in the movie.

He did do the score for the Killing Fields.

A favorite soundtrack is Koyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass.

[BeyondGeography]

26. Angels and Insects

Because it came out when my daughter was born and kept us both floating together for months:

[PJMcK]

27. Tough to top this one

[Glorfindel]

30. I love Tubular Bells, but my favorite movie soundtrack is this one

[underpants]

31. Zach Braff's "Garden State" - super mellow but a great collective soundtrack

It's a really good movie too. He made it with a really small budget so several artists let him use their music at lower cost than usual.

32. One More To Add

Sorry, i've forgotten how to add images to the posts, but.....
Tangerine Dream's soundtrack for the James Caan movie, "Thief".

The soundtrack is stunningly good.

[Dave Starsky]

35. That's another excellent choice.

And the movie was also fantastic. It had great acting, an intense story, and INCREDIBLE cinematography. The night photography is especially amazing. Watching TV shows like CSI or Person of Interest, both of which have gorgeous nighttime camera work, you can certainly see how that movie was an inspiration.

[ProfessorGAC]

36. Absolutely Dave!

And the involvement with Tuesday Wells was just terrific.

And, Jim Belushi in a very serious role. And that ending. . .

[Dave Starsky]

38. Even Jim Belushi is good in it.

That's how amazing that movie is.

It really is on the short list of "movies you probably never heard about but really must see".

[ProfessorGAC]

39. I Agree. It Is On That List

And back to square one, that soundtrack is amazing.

[Dave Starsky]

40. Tangerine Dream are the masters of atmosphere.

They know how to set up, and resolve, a tense mood in a film. They do this perfectly in Thief. They also provided the soundtrack to the movie Sorcerer, and that's another soundtrack that should be on this list.

[ProfessorGAC]

43. Ooooh, Yeah! Sorcerer

I would never have brought that up. But, you're 100% correct. Intense movie with a great soundtrack.

[sarge43]

33. May not be the best, but it's definitely a contender.

[MrScorpio]

37. I've always had a soft spot for Lalo Schriffrin's BULLITT

[Dave Starsky]

41. Anything Lalo Schifrin does is exciting and amazing.

Here are two TV opening themes he composed. Just listening to the music, you know you MUST watch the show.

[DFW]

42. My personal favorite soundtrack is...of course......

The Graduate

An hour of Paul Simon's music as a film soundtrack? What more could one want?
