Xanadu is cool....it's ELO for crying out loud...with a little Olivia Newton John mixed in, for Dash....

When We Were Kings. Documentary about the Rumble in the Jungle.

Soundtrack includes live performances by BB King and James Brown among others. Great movie too.

I'm from Minnesota, so I'm going to have to go with Purple Rain.

I agree. From a musical talent standpoint Prince is in a class of his own. He can play so many instruments. He's written not only great songs for himself, but a number of other musical acts.

That's a Michael Pare Aka (Eddie Wilson): Diane Lane flick right?

Yeah, he's great. Saw him perform at Roskilde Festival last year. Didn't think I would recognize so many songs, but I did, almost all of them. The concert was fantastic with 70 000 people around me.

there's a documentary about that concert that was put on in Zaire in conjunction with the fight.
it's a terrific watch, and an amazing listen.

Judgement Night

Tales from the Crypt

The Crow

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

For original score, I would go with "12 Monkeys"

Did somebody say my name?

I liked Blood Diamond as well (someone said it on the first page), but I tend to go more for soundtracks that are composed rather than the mixed tape approach. Empire of the Sun might be my favorite. A lot of people probably haven't seen it, but if you like history/war movies, it's pretty tops.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

300 had a good score as well.

As for mixtape style, I forgot Natural Born Killers

Hmm.. Empire of the Sun. Was that Christian Bale's first flick? He was the kid right?
