Where the Hell is it on this list? - isunktheship, on 02/07/2008, -0/+29Requiem for a dream, while depressing, had one single amazing song that is used EVERYWHERE. Remixed, replayed, and re-...loved..?
- Tunguska, on 02/07/2008, -3/+25I'd rate Gladiator as probably the pioneer of the 'ambiguously worded middle-eastern women singing gibberish to light drums' that seems to be the mainstay among modern epics.
- UnleashChaos, on 02/07/2008, -0/+21No Thomas Newman soundtracks?! American Beauty, A Series of Unfortunate events, Road to Perdition, Shawshank Redemption anyone?

Fantasia - doyoulikeworms, on 02/07/2008, -1/+20Dugg for 2001. Abso-*****-lutely amazing sound track.
- mal1964, on 02/07/2008, -0/+18This Is Spinal Tap (1984)
- barkleydoom, on 02/07/2008, -0/+18buried for not including Requiem for a Dream. That soundtrack will withstand the test of time more than most of the ones on the list.
- stevejobs, on 02/07/2008, -0/+14Lost in Translation & Nightmare Before Christmas are great soundtracks.
- BlakeEM, on 02/07/2008, -0/+13No Lost Highway soundtrack?
- Laytonx, on 02/07/2008, -6/+19Garden State should be on the list. Everyone likes the Shins
- santaliqueur, on 02/07/2008, -0/+13Incorrect title, there is a difference between soundtracks and scores.
- elisabeth1251, on 02/07/2008, -12/+24Dugg for not having garden state on the list.
- xerosawyer, on 02/07/2008, -0/+11lol where is Rocky? Not even a mention.
- Relentl3ss, on 02/07/2008, -1/+12Try reading the list.... Empire strikes back is the first thing you dolt.
- testify, on 02/07/2008, -3/+14Where the hell is the Forrest Gump soundtrack? Those tunes were epic!
- AndrewDB, on 02/07/2008, -3/+12Well, allow me to welcome you to digg with the proper initial initial burial.
- doyoulikeworms, on 02/07/2008, -0/+8She's not stressing over her mortgage, she's stressing over this list of 100 best movie soundtracks. Obviously.
- DocOrpheus, on 02/07/2008, -0/+82x On Blues Brothers' Soundtrack being MIA on the list.
Still dugg for Ennio Morricone though - AtiimKiambu, on 02/07/2008, -0/+8I love the fact that it isn't ranked in order. Too many of these lists try to arbitrarily rank things, and just end up making people argue over which is better. Which might actually be the author's goal.
- inactive, on 02/07/2008, -1/+8None of the Matrix Soundtracks.... shame
- inactive, on 02/07/2008, -4/+11Is it the first as well?
- Rhendal, on 02/07/2008, -0/+7wtf no Team America? I call shenanigans.
- LoopyChew, on 02/07/2008, -1/+8If you read the article, you'll notice that there are plenty of compiled soundtracks (e.g. American Graffiti, Waiting to Exhale, The Big Chill).
- madcaps1980, on 02/07/2008, -1/+8I love the Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas soundtrack, "We can't stop here, this is bat country!!"
- teddyrux, on 02/07/2008, -0/+6A Clockwork Orange is by far my favorite soundtrack. Every time I put it on, I just imagine the violence that goes with it...Truly a masterpiece.
- joshmoney, on 02/07/2008, -1/+7You gotta hear this one song.
It'll change your life. I swear. - DeviateSeptum, on 02/07/2008, -3/+9No Conan the Barbarian? Crap list.
- erikerikerik, on 02/07/2008, -0/+6+ Hackers = main stay for any one in school during the late 90's.
- ClunkClunk, on 02/07/2008, -0/+5I much prefer the AFI's top 25 film scores list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFI%27s_100_Years_of_ ... - inactive, on 02/07/2008, -0/+5Clint Mansell, sry.
Example of Clint Mansell, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKLpJtvzlEI - fkr3, on 02/07/2008, -1/+6Not dugg for excluding James Horner.... that guy did the soundtracks and/or themesongs for a whole lot of great movies.
- schwab002, on 02/07/2008, -1/+6i'd add eternal sunshine of the spotless mind or i heart huckabee's or any soundtrack done by Jon Brion really.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Brion#Film_scores - Pentoast, on 02/07/2008, -1/+6hmm. Three tarintino movies. I mean, I like his stuff, but I don't know if three of them need to be on there. They all pretty much do the same thing.
- aceakm, on 02/07/2008, -0/+5Nothing from Road To Perdition and I didn't see American Beauty on there either... Thomas Newman is an amazing composer.
- Nerys, on 02/07/2008, -0/+5They are missing what is by far the greatest movie sound track of all time. Well to me at least :-)
Last of the Mohicans. The movie was "ok" I liked it not in my top ten. but the sound track is simple marvelous. - estvir, on 02/07/2008, -0/+5Elranzer, you seem to have somewhat good taste and wide knowledge, could you do a list like this?
- dogslayeggs, on 02/07/2008, -0/+5they forgot "28 Days Later" agreed?
- doyoulikeworms, on 02/07/2008, -1/+5Very true. Had a great soundtrack! The Velvet Underground, Belle & Sebastian, The Kinks, Buddy Holly.
- hookback, on 02/07/2008, -1/+5Seriously? Where's Cliff Martinez's Solaris? Or Fight Club? ***** list... Buried.
- Elranzer, on 02/07/2008, -1/+5Buried for being one blogger's poor opinion of movie soundtracks. From what I can see, they're a John WIlliams and Tarentino poser.
You include Sound of Music but not Mary Poppins? No Thomas Newman? The only DISNEY soundtrack is The Jungle Book?!
You included Rocky Horror Picture Show, but missed its sequel Shock Treatment (proving you're no true musical fan, as anyone whose seen both movies knows the sequel has better music).
Don't ever quit your day job to be a music critic. - deltron, on 02/07/2008, -0/+4Other mention:
Fight Club;
Soundtrack by The Dust Brothers - kingdox, on 02/07/2008, -0/+4Damn I kinda had some hope that Hackers would make the list.
- tapo, on 02/07/2008, -0/+3Yarr, that's Clint Mansell's Lux Aeterna (latin for Light Eternal).
Makes for one hell of a ringtone. - mashlin, on 02/07/2008, -0/+3the entire soundtrack for "Once"
- jazzboyrules, on 02/07/2008, -0/+3What has downloading to do with being worth of?
- joshmoney, on 02/07/2008, -0/+3The use of The Pixies "Where is my mind" in the final scene of Fight Club has to be one of the most chilling songs in cinematic history.
- LoopyChew, on 02/07/2008, -0/+3How the hell can they have Gladiator but not The Rock or Crimson Tide? While Gladiator's score was good, I think the latter two were definitive.
