My Favourite Soundtracks

I'm just too bored, hence these pointless posts! Some of these soundtracks are not completely "original" as they are compilations. Anyway, here's the list.

Garden State (VA) - This is my favourite OST of em all. The movie is just amazing. To add to the genius of Zach Braff, we are given an extremely melodic and mellow OST which just makes it all too perrrfect! This has been there in my playlist for about 3 - 4 months now. These songs make me very happy!

American Beauty (Thomas Newman) - This is brilliant musicianship. The perfect kind of music for the dark movie. Tabla owns btw. Again an OST that I keep listening to very regularly, whenever I want peace.

Black Friday (Indian Ocean) - Indian Ocean is the best band to have come out of India, atleast for me. Dark brooding compositions written for one of the most daring movies made in India - this is essential. For me, this is probably the best film score for an Indian movie.

Fight Club (The Dust Brothers) - The Dust Brothers totally know their shit! Their techno music is awesomely funky. Another regular.

Top Gun (VA) - Just a bunch of kick ass songs! Been a long time since I've last heard this one, but a damn good one nonetheless.

Easy Rider (VA) - A collection of rock songs from the 60s most of which are about joints, rolling joints, drug pushing etc.!

Mission Impossible 2 (VA) - Although the songs are not too brilliant or anything, I like this a lot just for the fact it this was the first complete OST I had heard. Bands like Limp Biskut and Metallika are there on this OST but don't judge me!

I'm sure there are other equally good OSTs but I'm not too much of an OST guy. Other good ones like Almost Famous, Dazed and Confused, Forrest Gump, but I don't listen to them that often.
