What's your favorite song and/or soundtrack from a movie?
My favorite is the soundtrack from the movie "Queen of the Damned". It has a great list of songs, including:

*David Draimen - Forsaken
*Dry Cell - Body Crumbles
*Deftones - Change(In the House of Flies)
*Jay Gordon - Slept So Long
*Static-X - Cold
*Marilyn Manson - Redeemer
*Chester Bennington of Linkin Park - System
*Papa Roach - Dead Cell
*Kidney Thieves - Before I'm Dead
*Disturbed - Down With the Sickness
*Wayne Static - Not Meant for Me

Out of that whole list, my favorite song would have to be "Slept So Long".

11. Heh that soundtrack was 500% times better than the movie
Even though I hate Korn and that dude is totally, completely wrong for Lestat's music (though that was the least of that movie's problems).

Speaking of vampires, my favorite movie song is probably Love Song for A Vampire by Annie Lennox, from Bram Stoker's Dracula. That is such a hauntingly beautiful song, and it makes me cry without fail every time I hear it.

As for soundtracks as a whole...Rocky Horror, no contest.

Don't dream it, be it!

13. I don't know...
I liked the movie, even though it didn't follow the book at all. But I do have to agree with you that Jonathan Davis was not a good choice to be the singing voice of Lestat.

As for Love Song for a Vampire, I don't remember it. I'll have to download it later.

15. It played over the credits.
Really good song.

The problem is, even if I could completely forget the books, it was still a shitty movie. It was like a bad Mary Sue fanfic.
