Location: Michigan | All great ones, keep em coming! How about the soundtrack from "Backbeat"?
In case you did not catch it the movie is about the early days of the Beatles, of course covers but it does a good job of showing the venues the Beatles played in early and the energy they put into the shows.

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, music by Bryan Adams and Hans Zimmer
Disney's animated Tarzan, songs by Phil Collins
And my least favorite has to be Jurassic Park. John Williams is a brilliant composer, but I find the movie's main theme insufferable. |

Anything else is just a mix tape. |

Anything else is just a mix tape. I disagree - if the music is integral to the movie - like "The Big Chill" or "The Commitments" then I think it goes beyond just a mix. |

Going down a list and picking some Motown tunes is more a matter of convience. |

Pretty much any Charlie Chaplin film.
Really, those piano fills just MAKE the movie. |

Nobody said Phantom of the Paradise, maybe for a reason.
Rocky Horror is pretty cool. |

Cameron Crowe Movies always have amazing music and this one had enough content to do 2 soundtrack CDs and one more, the Original Score, of all instrumental stuff, most of which was done by Cameron's talented wife. |

Barra Barra by Rachid Taha is butt stomping:

This version has him drunk on his ass and staggering but it's still good. He's saying something like, Out there, life is hard, Out there, people lie etc. Fit the movie perfectly, I like the blend of punk, techno and arabic rock.
PS Black hawk down was a great book. |
