Good Movies/Good Soundtracks

List creator: DMilbrath Created on: June 30, 2002 - 10:51 PM PDT Description: A list of films that are entertaining, and made better because of the music in the film -- trying to avoid the standards like Pulp Fiction, Purple Rain, The Wall, & the Big Chill. Honorable mentions: The Harder They Come & Lost Highway

	movie title	related list	average rating	MPAA rating	watch	rent	buy
	Mulholland Dr. (2001)
My favorite film in a very long while - Badalementi's score is spooky as always
	Buena Vista Social Club (1998)
Not a real stretch -- every good yuppie knows about this album, but the movie is excellent too
	O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
Zany Coen Fun -- put bluegrass on the top 40 for a short time
	This Is Spinal Tap (1984)
Still one of the funniest films (and soundtracks) of modern film
	Angel Heart (1987)
A sentimental favorite - devilish fun. I got a thing about chickens.
	Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992)
Lynch and Badalementi at their best - many diehards didn't like the film, but I think it works
	Blade Runner (Director's Cut) (1982)
Still the best Sci-Fi film in my book -- the music is a bit hokey, but it transplants you.
	The Rocky Horror Picture Show (25th Aniversary Edition) (1975)
Totally campy, totally fun -- the lyrics and plot are both ridiculous, but damnit Janet, if it isn't catchy!
