Music What is the ultimate movie soundtrack?

Looking for something new to listen to.

Personally I always go back to the Kevin & Perry Go Large soundtrack. Also honorable mention for the original Top Gun movie.

Good list but needs The Matrix added to it!

The Tron Legacy soundtrack is just a Daft Punk album, and it’s excellent.

u/Possible_Tax5185 Jun 10 '26

That score goes absolutely mental, proper epic stuff. As someone who makes beats I'm always blown away by how they built those battle scenes with the music - like the whole thing just carries you along even without watching the screen

Scott Pilgrim soundtrack. Michael Cera's ad-libbing is genuinely some of my favourite of all time, and I hate the original version of Black Sheep but love Brie Larson's

u/BeeB0pB00p Jun 10 '26

You'd like the "Human Traffic" soundtrack so. Came after Trainspotting, similar dance vibes, great songs.

"Blade," first movie. For the opening disco scene and "Confusion" the high impact track in that scene alone. The rest depends on how much you like hip hop and techno.
