Can't believe I've never seen that. Might have to rent it just for the porsche.

Saturday Night Fever should be number #1. The greatest movie and soundtrack of all time, hands down. Both created one of the most memorable pop culture crazes of all time. Oldschool disco still rules.
Hard Days Night did the same, but to a lesser extent.
Purple Rain is also great, probably belongs at #2/3
Pulp Fiction should be in the top 5 (as it is), but so should Grease.
1. Saturday Night Fever
2. Purple Rain
3. Hard Days Night
4. Grease
5. Pulp Fiction
There, it feels better to me now :)

This Is Spinal Tap was #45.
:idea:

[RaceFace]

I was thinking Lost Boys and Less Than Zero were pretty good soundtracks. Some of my favorites are still The Song Remains the Same and Tommy.

Is that a movie???...this is a list of the "Greatest (mostly) Rock Soundtracts of all Time".....from Wired Magazine....not my list.

The Lost Boys
I bought that cassette the same day I got my drivers liscence, I clearly remember cruisin in dad's Buick listening to that.:D

[BajaMike]

How about Less than zero, The Crow, The Sopranos, Miami Vice(The original show).
Sapranos and Miami Vice (with the great Glenn Fry songs) were TV shows...this is about "rock" movie soundtracks.

Had a blast doing it!! Glad all went off safe and looking forward to another safe weekend. Do we know what kind of space we get for the "Block Party" on Thursday? I'm open for setup if help is needed.

Oh yeah, Hagar on the title track, one of his best.

[mobldj]

[steveo143]

What about "The Last Waltz"?

[snake321]

Is that a movie???...this is a list of the "Greatest (mostly) Rock Soundtracts of all Time".....from Wired Magazine....not my list.
It's a movie intermixed with concert footage. Was rereleased again this year.

[C.Fisher]

Soundtrack to the movie Trick or Treat featuring "Fastway"

[~FM]

Hell of a good summer. I can't believe that was 20 years ago.:idea:
You shut your mouth! :eek: :D Did anyone ask how long ago? No! :p :D

[SB]

Good call on the Last Waltz, great combos of people.
I guess "Chicago" doesn't belong here.
"The Song Remains the Same" sucked it hard. The band was so wasted "Black Dog" sounded like a lullabye. It was also unwatchable as a movie.

[donzi5150]

How about the movie Point Break and the ending song.....No One Rides for Free by Ratt.........

[Caljamr]

What about ROCKSTAR. The soundtrack is good enough that i bought.

PCU and the Parliment Funkadelic!:)

Main thing I remember about "Fastimes at Ridgemont High" was Phoebe Cates taking her top off.....:D

Apocolypse has a great sound track.
I might add "The Buddy Holly Story"............:idea:

[Wet Dream]

I'm with C-2. How is SNF not at #1? One of the greatest selling albums of all time, and due to a movie.
On another note:
Flashdance? Hated it, though several hits.
16 Candles
Breakfast Club

[Riomouse911]

Heavy Metal was my choice as well. "It's a one-way ticket to midnight.. call it.. Heavy Metal"

[thatguy]

Definitly, But I though "a thousand psycic wars" was the best track.
"You see me now a veteran.. of a thousand psycic wars"
Don't forget the Cameron Crowe movie "Friends" with Bridgett Fonda and Matt Dillon. Lots of Alice in Chains and Soungarden, as well as Smashing Pumpkins.
In fact, Pearl Jam members had roles as Matt Dillons band.
It is a good disc.
Tommy

S M F Twisted Sister

You know, I never saw Flashdance back in the day. Not once, not ever.
Until about two years ago, and I never realized how easy on the eyes that cutie was. Yes, cheeseball movie, but it has it's moments.
-
I recently saw Around the World - the entire soundtrack and movie are wrapped around Beatles songs - in fact if you like the Beatles, it's a great, artsy-weirdo type movie.

[totenhosen]

Last Action Hero. (alice n chains, AC/dc etc.)
Singles. (pearl jam, soundgarden, smashing pumpkins alice n chains, heart, hendrix etc.)

It was called "Singles". I posted it as one of my favorites jsut above.

[Seadog]

Kelly's Heroes

[craiginlaverne]

I dont know about "all time" but I like the sound track to Private Parts, the Howard Stern movie.

I stand corrected! I can't believe I mis-named it, it is one of my must watch movies when I see it is on.
