The Movie Soundtrack Thread

Films are great, aren't they? You know what else is great? Music. So how about a thread with our favourite music from cinema?

Let's try to be mobile friendly and just link to the tracks as opposed to embedding them.

I'll start. Honestly, I could have picked anything from that film, but I chose that track as it most obviously shows the inspiration Mass Effect drew upon when creating its soundtrack.

In which case, I'll continue. The lead theme from my favourite film - still sends shivers down me, over twelve years after its release. Hey, I know when I'm old!

*rushes off to another thread*

Oh, damn fine choice! I had this soundtrack on loop studying French a few years back. Comptine d'un Autre Été is my personal favourite from that film.

At work now, so can't access Youtube, but I'm reserving the heck out of Totoro.

I like singing animals.
Similarly to games soundtracks don't do a lot for me, but disney films have some cracking tunes.

Shotgun! I'm having Baseketball.

Ok I could go a little crazy here but I'll try not too


Dredd
Great film, great soundtrack. It's electro punkery a little reminiscent of Red Alert 2 in places, very very cool.
 
Order in the Chaos
Favourite track off the OST, not much to say about it other than I AM THE LAW.
 
Whole soundtrack


Pi
Ingenious film, ingenious soundtrack. Darren Aronofsky's debut (and possibly best) film with Clint Mansell arranging the score, featuring himself, Aphex Twin and Massive Attack. It's a mixed bag. Mansell does the first and last track on the ost: πr² and 2πr, both are unlike anything else I've heard before and they're something I need more of.
 
2πr
Just over three minutes of the inside of a god's mind.
 
Whole soundtrack


Moon
Awesome film, awesome soundtrack. Another one directed by Darren Aronofsky with Clint Mansell this time doing the whole soundtrack. Beyond words is all I can say, the video and audio go so perfectly together it's unreal. It's a genuinely moving film and just about transcends of any kind of label.
 
Welcome to Lunar Industries (Three Year Stretch...)
It's a little long, but it's the perfect end to it all. The build-up and payoff toward the end of the track is immense.
 
Whole soundtrack

Love that song! Not so sure about the video though...

As promised, from Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbour Totoro):

Opening (ignore the subs please)
The Huge Tree
Ending

Oh what the hell, here's most of the soundtrack. If something in here doesn't make you feel a little dewy-eyed, you haven't watched the film. If you haven't watched the film... shame on you.

Same! I feel like I'm always listening to some film soundtrack out other. But I'm nowhere near as edgy and cool as any of you; here's my two most listened to tracks:

This music still gives me goosebumps. When I heard it in the cinema, it nearly brought me to tears- and I was a 16-year-old lad with his mates. I felt like a group at a concert when the Beatles arrived...

Who cares about humans when the real main characters have tragic stories told through music like this.

Massive respect here - Moon has an AMAZING soundtrack. Although, I have to correct you and tell you it's directed by Duncan Jones.

Another from me: Life of Pi, Pi's Lullaby. Very pleased this swept up come awards season, beautiful soundtrack.

Oops my bad I was getting confused with The Fountain which they both worked on too

No worries, easy mistake to make!

Another - it's harder to get more iconic than this.
