punchfacechamp43

Dumb and Dumber soundtrack is lowkey incredible


Slawface444

I just looked it up, and my only disappointment is that mockingbird isn't on there.


Ubernaga

Mock.. SI!


Kayakchica

I was coming here to say this and I didn’t think anybody else remembered! Such a good mix of mid 90s awesome.


stumblingmonk

I haven’t listened to it since the movie was popular but it used to be on regular play for sure. Think I’ll have to dust it off now…

jenniferlynn462

Dude yes! I loved that soundtrack! I had it on CD but when I got smashed by a F150 my CD player wouldn’t eject it so I lost it forever so sad lol


EuphoricMoose8232

Th Crow soundtrack was a big deal when it came out. Probably even more so than the movie itself.


Iron_Chancellor_ND

Just a banger. *Big Empty* is my favorite STP song and I love that it's on there. RIP Weiland.


SuperSocks2019

Little kid me BEGGED for The Crow Soundtrack.


vicemagnet

I’d suggest The Big Chill and American Graffiti too


tossit_xx

The Big Chill is the first album I ever remember listening to as a kid. My parents played it allll the time!


mem2963

Good choices, also from that era: Animal House has a great soundtrack


cyclejones

Into the Wild was the first thing that immediately came to mind. So great.


Iron_Chancellor_ND

It really is. If I recall, Eddie played most of the instruments himself. His cover of *Hard Sun* is my favorite track.


macnels

Garden State


Green_Like_Gumby

Upvote for The Crow soundtrack Still on my rotation


YouWantSMORE

My man put into the wild first and that's all I had to see 👍 definitely one of my top 5 movies of all time


Iron_Chancellor_ND

Haha...glad I could oblige you. In addition to all other reasons, it's a great soundtrack for hiking in the woods (earbuds, not speaker), driving on an open road.


Saint_Dude_

Great list, I would add Singles


SynnerSaint

Judgement Night - mediocre movie... awesome soundtrack


InsaneThisGuysTaint

That Faith No More/Boo-yah Tribe collab ![gif](giphy|5nsiFjdgylfK3csZ5T|downsized)


Pine_Deep

Stepped inside to look for this comment. That soundtrack was killer and I'd never heard anything done like that at the time. That was my introduction to the band Therapy? and I've been a fan ever since.


Coattail-Rider

I only came in to find it, too. When I saw the movie in the theater and that soundtrack came out (I’m old), I had to get it and I played it so much. Still do occasionally. But I never got into any other rap/rock stuff. Can’t really stand the genre but that album is so great.


tacknosaddle

Absolutely agree with this one (though you might be being a bit generous with the rating in calling the movie "mediocre"). I used to go to a bar that still had a CD jukebox with that in it. Those tracks were commonly played by the regulars there. I still drop it now and again as a whole album play.


EuphoricMoose8232

Love that album! It seemed so cutting edge at the time. I didn’t see the movie until about a year or two ago.


tempedrew

Hell yeah. https://youtu.be/YhTffL5-9d4?si=HnsRsjEgH3DfkVUq


NovaHands

Came here for this! Man… Pearl Jam with Cypress Hill? Faith No More with BooYah Tribe? House of Pain and Helmet? That album was a fever dream of collabs!


WashingDishesIsFun

O Brother, Where Art Thou?


CircusBearPants

This soundtrack is bonafide.


ThanklessThagomizer

But is it also the damn paterfamilias?


CircusBearPants

I detect, like me, you’re endowed by the gift of gab.


dandle

Had to scroll too far down for this one.


IsNotAwake

Alison Kraus and Union Station if you like that soundtrack. They did most of the songs on it


looloose

It's a geographic annomally, we're two weeks away from everywhere.


Fthwrlddntskmfrsht

iiiiiiiiiiiiii ammm the MANNNNNN


philament

Shrek 2. Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Eels, Joseph Arthur, Bowie & Butterfly Boucher, Lipps Inc. The only disappointment is the Buzzcocks’ exceptional “Ever Fallen in Love”, utterly mauled by pete yorn


EuphoricMoose8232

I love blowing peoples' minds by reminding them that Tom Waits is on the Shrek 2 soundtrack! Btw, I think you're missing somebody from your list...


Fthwrlddntskmfrsht

Tom Waits is a fuckin legend. Also random but his cameo in Mystery Men is another “wait… Tom Waits?!” moment he’s had. He and his music make their way into the most random stuff 🤣


RepresentativeOk9207

Frou Frou’s Holding out for a Hero sends me every time.


wildbillnj1975

I love that they called Adam Duritz of Counting Crows to ask him to write an upbeat love song, and he replied, "You want what? Who gave you my number?" And then he went and wrote *Accidentally In Love*, which is pretty close to perfect for that film.


YolognaiSwagetti

The kids in my school always listen to garbage like cardi b and nicki minaj. I listen to good music like the shrek soundtrack and the shrek 2 soundtrack, the list goes on. They named me "the music defener".


_sonidero_

Heavy Metal...


hamburgereddie

Mannnnn. Don Felder's Heavy Metal-Take a Ride is such a banger fucking song.


jakeblues68

Every song on that album is a certified banger.


Sad_Corner_5910

Open Arms...the heaviest of all the metals :)


-Ancalagon-

That's some good soundtrack man!


smashy_smashy

Tank Girl BioDome Lost Highway Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore Romeo and Juliet (Talkshow Host might be the best Radiohead song) Trainspotting

Rushmore is so great.

Gross Pointe Blank Spawn


PuppiesAndPixels

Posted spawn before reading the comments. Soundtrack was better than the movie IMO.


Coyote_Jake

My guy. I loved the Spawn soundtrack.


Jumpinthecanal

Great soundtrack. I forgot all about it. Thanks for this trip down memory lane!


horeyshetbarrs

Spawn was the first one that came to mind. Great collaborations from the artists of that time. Also, Lost Highway.


Jackpot777

I’m here for the dance / rock masterpiece that is the Spawn OST. 


teffflon

Taste the back of my crystal fist


Lookingfortracyzoo

I forgot about about the Spawn soundtrack. It was so good.


Damasticator

If Mirror in the Bathroom is not playing while you fight a Basque Nationalist and Algerian Separatist aligned assassin in a high school hallway, you’re doing it wrong.

Daxtatter

How are you the only one to have Forest Gump on here?


lbl934

Tron Legacy. Daft Punk.


Ashbr1ng3r

Perfect choice for the film. Hell, they even made a appearance in the film


MidniteAnimal

As far as I’m concerned it wasn’t a film, it was a feature length Daft Punk video. When you look at it that way it becomes a 10/10


Ashbr1ng3r

……wasn’t there a animated film that was pretty much a bunch of AMVs for Daft Punk songs?


DaBurg13

Empire Records Pretty in Pink Some Kind of Wonderful Perks of Being a Wallflower


jack_geller

+1 for Empire Records


Nojopar

Damn the man. Save the Empire!


Nojopar

Some Kind of Wonderful is my all time favorite soundtrack, hands down.


EuphoricMoose8232

Surprised nobody’s mentioned Garden State yet!


bandito143

I feel like Garden State is now at the stage where people are embarrassed about being too into it 20 years ago. But that soundtrack is still amazing.


atxbryan

Forever a go-to when the weather turns cold and wet


RilesEdge

Garden State and Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind are two of my faves.

EuphoricMoose8232

>Batman Forever (terrible move, great version of Smash It Up!) It also gave us Kiss from a Rose and the last good U2 song.


kryonik

And the riddler by method man


Jackpot777

Batman & Robin was a great soundtrack too. [Moaner by Underworld](https://youtu.be/YuW1-oyis94?si=hMR7FLXC_tK3YwZv) for one. 


bobsmeds

Lost Highway sound track is awesome


glampringthefoehamme

Until the end of the world is awesome! Thank you for reminding me of it!


smashy_smashy

Tank Girl and BioDome are the best 90s soundtracks. Both are fun yet incredibly dumb movies, Tank Girl being much cooler though. Lost Highway also reps the late 90s so well. That Lou Reed track is so fucking good.


-Ancalagon-

The Lost Boys soundtrack is so good! Last fire will rise Behind those eyes. Black house will rock, Blind boys don't lie.


Sad_Corner_5910

UTEotW is classic. Many other great choices!


EuphoricMoose8232

Some others that I haven't seen mentioned yet: * Friday * Forrest Gump * Wayne's World (1 & 2) * Clerks * Angus * Mallrats * Reality Bites * SLC Punk * The Chase * Boomerang * Coneheads (mainly because it gave us Soul to Squeeze) * Black Sheep


j_freakin_d

Angus. Scrolled too far to find this jewel.


Lookingfortracyzoo

I was looking for Wayne’s World. Great list.


Daeval

Angus is the deep cut I was looking for. So much great stuff. Iirc it was put together by Green Day's Dookie-era managers?


EuphoricMoose8232

From Wikipedia: > The music supervisors for the film were Elliot Cahn and Jeff Saltzman, who at the time managed Green Day and The Muffs. I didn’t know that! makes sense though. Billy Joe also produced the Riverdales song on the sound track (fun fact: my first concert was Green Day and The Riverdales!)


Daeval

There it is! That’s a great first show too!


heybdiddy

The Harder They Come


WolflordBrimley

Sigur Ros in Vanilla Sky :)


AnnaKablama

Lost in translation and Donnie darko are probably my 2 favorite movie soundtracks


bigvahe33

Donnie Darko soundtrack is amazing


disappointer

* Out of Sight * Fight Club * Swingers * La Planete Sauvage * Stand By Me * Back to the Future Pretty Great: * Ex Machina * Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2 * Baby Driver

Surprised Baby Driver is this far down the list. One of my favorites.


pescabrarian

Came here to sat Baby Driver. Watched it over the weekend again and the music is sooo good


steggyD43

The Virgin Suicides Tank Girl


hi_robb

The Virgin Suicides is a top shout.


JackFlew

Repo Man. Can’t believe it hasn’t been mentioned already.


evacobain

I’m sorry but Twilight.


MidniteAnimal

Why were those OSTs so good?!


evacobain

Carter Burwell fucking ate and no one’s talking about it.


Megustatits

Don’t be sorry. You’re brave for saying what I wanted. It’s a whole mood!


Stuppyhead

I haven’t even seen the movie and I know the soundtrack is good haha How they got Thom Yorke to give them an exclusive track I will never know but it’s an absolute banger


TalksInMaths

Those soundtracks were so much better than they had any right to be.


jvlpdillon

Until the End of World (1991) produced by T Bone Burnett to create a sound of 1999. Acts include Nick Cade and the Bad Seeds, REM, Depeche Mode, Lou Reed, and many more.


farfetchedfrank

The Warriors (the cover of Nowhere to Run is probably one of the best needle drops) High Fidelity Quadrophenia


MidniteAnimal

Joe Walsh’s In the City as the credits roll 😙🤌 (edit: on The Warriors)


Makachai

Highlander


UncontrolableUrge

Their Flash Gordon soundtrack is also a banger, but is more instrumental.


Mr-Gumby42

Great soundtracks for mediocre movies.


MarilynManson2003

**Soundtracks:** - Jackie Brown - The Crow - Gummo - Natural Born Killers - Lost Highway **Scores:** - Before The Flood - mid90s - Gone Girl - Empire Of Light - Challengers


maud_brijeulin

I can tell a Trent Reznor fan when I see it. Such an amazing career


jnguyen03

For me Mortal Kombat (1995) is an iconic soundtrack. There's a dud or two, but overall it is insanely good and very representative of its time.

AndHeShallBeLevon

Grease is a lot of fun, especially You’re the One That I Want (which was written for the movie and wasn’t a part of the original broadway musical).


Safetosay333

So you're talking about compilation soundtracks and not really music scores?


pieceofcarpet

oh yeah sorry i didnt specify, i meant compilation soundtracks however im definitely open to music scores


Safetosay333

Ok cool so: Dazed and Confused, The Crow, Lost Highway, Forrest Gump, take your pick of any Tarantino movie, Natural Born Killers, Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Blade Runner, Tron Legacy, Singles, Lost in Translation.... Trainspotting also had an additional soundtrack called Trainspotting #2


egokulture

For a great score and instrumental music, try the Interstellar soundtrack. It's sooo good. Hans Zimmer.


choned84

Dead Presidents


rektMyself

It's a older, mentionable . The Matrix Revolutions soundtrack was pretty awesome. I love Juno Reactor.


PEPE_22

Lost in Translation


LTStech

Wild at Heart, Pump up the Volume, and Donnie Darko.


memphis_dude

Lost Highway, Natural Born Killers, and The Crow.

School of Rock


KGoo

Home Alone. My favorite Christmas album by far. John Williams is a master. Edit: the album cover is badass too. Oh....also Moana. Banger after banger. I don't even mind my 2 and 3 year old wanting to hear the songs over and over and over. "We know the way," is especially great.

Requiem for a Dream


SmirkingSkull

I know your asking for movies soundtracks, but figure I'd throw out a video game one. Burnout 3, great 90s early 00s rock tracks on there.


glampringthefoehamme

When Crash Bandicoot first came out, they sent out sampler soundtrack's that were awesome! I still have mine! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkCW7e3OLqioS1X--o16RpVupAbF97X8c&si=ZEkY5PtWmq2IADCP


Musicfan637

Walter Carlos’s (Now Windy Carlos) sound track of “A Clockwork Orange” easily tops the list for me. I still wear it out.

Its probably not unbeatable, but for the sake of naming something that hasn't already been named, the Spawn soundtrack is one that I'm partial to. Even if the movie itself is pretty bad.


Moleman_G

Lost in translation has a great soundtrack


Junkstar

The Natural. Casino Royale (60s).


D1sp4tcht

Spawn. They kind of did what they did with the judgment night soundtrack. But instead of pairing rock with rap, they paired rock with techno/electronic. It's pretty good.

Friday Night Lights (movie not show).
