Surprised that SN has good tracks)) Ennio Morricone is breathtaking!

Asian theme is fantastic and I'm about to get Inception Soundtrack. 8-)

Interesting that you brought this. A couple of days ago my mate on the bookshop commented, while I was separating some Cat Stevens albums (we sell music, too), about this Muslin issue. I didn't have a clue about it! I agree that his music fits so well the movie =]

I love your comments! This OST is really special. I didn't know this live version until making the list, so it's already a good reason I started all this

I'm planning to finish my countdown this week. Stay tuned!

Ennio Morricone is exceptional, this woman has an amazing voice.

A very good vocalist, indeed. Nice that you cited The Great Gig in the Sky, because last night I've been to a Pink Floyd cover show, and this song is just...

I'm glad you liked it, Chun! So you're a big fan of Philip Glass? Cheers!!! He's THE man!

I'll finish this countdown in about an hour.

So I finally reach the Top 5. To be honest, I'm not the kind of person that believes that much in lists. From time to time I'm changing my taste, therefore also my favourite songs and soundtracks. What I can assure is that this 5 albums/compilations have truly touched my life.

Are you ready?

What a deep, mysterious, sad piece of music! I took some time to get into Lynch's films (not the classics like Elephant Man or Blue Velvet, but the encrypted ones like Mulholland Dr.).

However, that's not the case of their soundtracks. Angelo Badalamenti, an usual partner of Lynch, creates a dreamlike sound, making me believe in things I cannot explain.

Suggestions
Love theme
Mulholland Dr.
Mountains falling
Silencio
Pretty 50s
I've told every little star
Llorando
The beast
Diane and Camilla

Wendy Carlos got an interesting personal story herself, and did a remarkable work in this movie. Using the synthesizer, she gave the sci-fi film all the atmosphere it needed.

Mixing it with creative options of classical masterpieces, Carlos made it impossible to overlook The Clockwork Orange Soundtrack as one of the best music selections for me.

Suggestions
Funeral of Queen Mary
Timesteps
The thieving magpie
Ninth symphony, second movement
Pomp and circunstance march no.1
Overture to the sun
Singin' in the rain

I have already praised Morricone's magical music here. So why this one in the 3rd place? Besides the tremendous main theme, there are also two magnificent songs in the album: The man with harmonica and Chayenne.

Suggestions
Once upon a time in the west
The man with harmonica
Cheyenne
The grand massacre
Jill's America
A dimly lit room
Finale
Main theme live in Venice

I admire so much Tiersen's soulful music. I dare to say this is his masterpiece. Creative, solar but also blue, rich, breathtaking.

Suggestions
Les jours tristes
La valse d'Amélie
Comptine d'un autre été: l'après-midi
La noyée
Le moulin
La valse d'Amélie - orchestral version
La dispute

OK, the #1 is a tricky one. Two soundtracks sharing the first place. But, as I never considered Kill Bill as two films, I think is fair enough to put them together.

Tarantino presents a pleasant and unique mixture in both albums, that includes two of the film score masters: Bernard Herrmann and Ennio Morricone.

Also, spanish and mexican music, japanese singers, Johnny Cash, dramatic themes and amazing beats. How this could not appear as my favourite soundtrack of all time? :lol:

Suggestions
Bang bang (my baby shot me down)
The grand duel (parte prima)
Twisted nerve
Green hornet
Battle without honor or humanity
Don't let me be misunderstood
Woo hoo
The flower of carnage
The lonely shepherd
Goodnight
Tu mirá
Summertime killer
L'arena
A silhouette of doom
About her
Malagueña salerosa
Urami bushi

----------------------------------------

That's it folks. I hope you enjoyed my countdown as I did. Thank you all for the comments.

See you around!

Wardo, I had no idea you like Philip Glass! Buddy!!!

Yes, and those Quentin Tarantino films have great music. Still need to explore so much more because I usually don't listen to film music.

I recall the music from Breaking The Waves, loved that movie and of course Dancer In The Dark. And I still have to explore more from David Arnold.

by **summer** » Mon May 07, 2012 6:49 am

Awww, some of the best movies in Top 5!

by **Serby** » Sun May 13, 2012 3:54 pm

I love Kill Bill so much. I will have to watch it again soon.

btw, I never pay attention to soundtracks of movies :oops:

by **summer** » Sat May 19, 2012 1:03 pm

Currently listening to Battle without honor or humanity and Time 8-)

Only the idea that I could actually had seen Glass in concert in Spain but I had no money torments me =/

Kill Bill sharply divided opinions in 2003 among Tarantino fans. I got friends that hate this movie, but praise the previous ones.

I honestly say it's a film that changed the way I see, study and make movies.

I listened to Time yesterday through my Facebook link. Your comments there are so sweet :oops:

I miss doing this countdown and expecting your thoughts, Justy.
