![]() | The Big Chill - 15th Anniversary: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Various Artists
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $2.84 The grand-daddy (in sales, which is, after all, most important) of all compilation soundtracks, and horribly overplayed, but still with the classics "Grapevine" and "Joy To The World."
|
![]() | Austin Powers: Original Soundtrack by Various Artists
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.01 Fantastic mix of old and new, with fantastic neo-mod remakes of Bacharach's classics "Call Me," "The Look of Love," and "What the World Needs Now." Surprisingly influential in the last few years.
|
![]() | The Cooler by Rebecca Kyler Downs
Buy used from: $0.59 This one has various tracks from a number of different artists, all packed around brilliant original pieces from Mark Isham. It's not all compilation material, but the album is so good, I just want more folks to give it a listen.
|
![]() | Grosse Pointe Blank: Music From The Film by Various Artists
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $1.68 As close to a perfect 80s soundtrack as possible, with the Clash, Violent Femmes, English Beat, Specials. Follow up with the just-as-good Volume II soundtrack release.
|
![]() | Casino: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Various Artists

|
![]() | Pulp Fiction: Music From The Motion Picture by Various Artists
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01 One of the more successful of recent compilation soundtracks, bringing surf music back into mainstream culture. Great little snippets of movie dialog as well.

Buy new: $28.99 / Used from: $15.29 Steven Spielberg started it all off with this soundtrack, full of classic 50s tunes.
|
![]() | The Blues Brothers: Original Soundtrack Recording by The Blues Brothers
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $2.89 A great albiet too short blues collection from the overly condemned albeit excessive yet undeniably fun movie; the only drawback to this soundtrack album is that it's way too short.
|
![]() | Natural Born Killers: A Soundtrack For An Oliver Stone Film
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $1.38 The powerful musical support for Stone's brilliant and sadly misunderstood social commentary. Best of it all and summarizing the film, Leonard Cohen's "The Future."
|
![]() | Platoon (1986 Film) - And Songs From The Era
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.36 Another great compilation from Oliver Stone, notable for the juxtaposition of "White Rabbit" and "Hello, I Love You" with "Adagio For Strings." Also too short.
|
![]() | The Commitments: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $0.19 Great, fun R&B/soul covers by the ultimate Irish bar band--the grrrrreat lovin-n-hatin mates!
|
![]() | Repo Man (1984 Film)

Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.30 Another Scorcese winner, this one featuring "Rags to Riches," "Sunshine of Your Love," and "Layla."
|
![]() | Snatch (2001 Film) by Bobby Byrd

|
![]() | Animal House: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack [Enhanced CD]
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $1.99 Another classic release, also too short, with fantastic renditions of "Money," "Shout," and "Louie, Louie."
|
![]() | Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels: Music From The Motion Picture
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $1.75 Another winner from Mr. Madonna, with a great rework of "Police and Thieves," and both "The Boss" and "The Payback" from James Brown.
|
![]() | Boogie Nights: Music From The Original Motion Picture
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.25 A good 70s capsule, but not your definitive disco-boogie collection. Notable for "Spill The Wine." Conspicuously absent: Heatwave's "Boogie Nights."
|
![]() | Fast Times At Ridgemont High: Music From The Motion Picture by Various Artists
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.95 A bit of 70s carryover from this 1982 classic, with the delightful "I Don't Know (Spicoli's Theme)" and Oingo Boingo's "Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye."
|
![]() | Dusk Til Dawn by Dusk Til Dawn
Buy new: $6.98 An obscure little recording, much like the flash-in-the-pan film. Play ZZ Top's "She's Just Killing Me" really loud, and you just might touch Valhalla.
|
![]() | Jackie Brown: Music From The Miramax Motion Picture (1997 Film) by Various Artists
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $1.80 Some more wonderful Tarantino-supplied winners, with the gloriously resurrected "Across 110th Street" from Bobby Womack.
|
![]() | Dazed And Confused (1993 Film) by Various Artists
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $0.99 The producers hit the nail right square on the head with this one--this IS the sound of my high school years.
|
![]() | Pretty In Pink: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.74 Another 80s soundtrack standard, this one with some more Psychedelic Furs, the Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, OMD, etc.
|

|
![]() | Valley Girl: Music From The Soundtrack
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $4.24 A more-or-less appropriate mix of the New Wave with radio-ready pop, notable for "Love My Way," "The Fanatic," and "Angst in My Pants."
|
![]() | The Full Monty: Music From The Motion Picture Soundtrack
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $0.01 A great movie with an appropriate collection, but the soundtrack tends to lack some real punch--all the great disco/dance tunes had already been taken by other films.
|
![]() | EDtv: Music From The Motion Picture
Buy used from: $0.01 A return to some older classic tunes for this late 1999 romance. Most notable: "Dirty Water" by the Inmates.
