Without the John Williams symphonic music to give viewers something familiar to latch on to, Star Wars would have been a colossal failure. His earler Jaws soundtrack made the shark scarier than it would have been otherwise, but definitely Star Wars is the epitome of what a good music backdrop can do for a movie.

I'm over the manipulative pop music montage crap.

2001

Richard Strauss - Also Sprach Zarathustra / 2001 Space Odyssey opening theme Kicks Ass! Hint: It's the kettle drum that makes that song!

(What 60's Car company used it before 2001? Hint: The WIDETRACK _______)

I think it's unbelievable this soundtrack has not yet been mentioned as it is hands down the very best soundtrack. EVAR.

Singles soundtrack

Track listing

"Would?" – Alice in Chains

"Breath" – Pearl Jam

"Seasons" – Chris Cornell

"Dyslexic Heart" – Paul Westerberg

"The Battle of Evermore" – The Lovemongers (Heart)

"Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" – Mother Love Bone

"Birth Ritual" – Soundgarden

"State of Love and Trust" – Pearl Jam

"Overblown" – Mudhoney

"Waiting for Somebody" – Paul Westerberg

"May This Be Love" – Jimi Hendrix

"Nearly Lost You" – Screaming Trees

"Drown" – The Smashing Pumpkins

That defines epic

[House]

Are we talking about movie soundtracks that are full of great songs or movie soundtracks that made the movie?

If it is the latter then you gotta go with "O Brother Where Art Thou".

If it is the former then..........that is pretty much up for debate. I do remember every person in the world owning two copies of the "Top Gun" soundtrack although it is kinda corny now.

Also, Last Action Hero was an amazing soundtrack:
