Anywho, quick list;

Requiem For a Dream
Brick
Lost In Translation
Frida

for stephin merritt:
Pieces of April
Series Of Unfortunate Events

for elliott smith:
The Royal Tenenbaums
Good Will Hunting
(and all the other 3249830 movies that his music is featured in)

i'm guessing that for the film, they simply spliced together the english and french versions. there is no official version which has both.

hope that helped!

Well, that makes sense. It's just too bad they didn't put the spliced together version Tarantino put in his film on the CD. That's sucks. Thanks for clearing that up, noise!

Good call. I remember listening to the Dazed and Confused soundtrack a lot when I was a wee lad.

I think A Clockwork Orange's soundtrack was perfect for the film.
Also, the Forrest Gump soundtrack has quite a few good tracks on it.

Repo Man.

Bravo! A small group of MB members appear to know the difference between a film score and a movie soundtrack compilition. The distinction is very important.

I'm not going to bore anybody with a lecture on the fine points of music for film. All the information you need to know is readily available on Google. That being said, my favorite film score composers are Yann Teirsen, Angelo Baldalamenti, Phillip Glass, John Barry, Bernard Hermann, Earle Hagen, Nino Rota, Ennio Morricone and Ry Cooder. You can hear film scores by any of these composers by entering their names into a search at YouTube.

I would say the Wayne's World soundtrack and the Dumb and Dumber soundtrack are very good.

It's a shame Badalamenti seems to be only known by David Lynch fans, though I think the guy only functions properly when collaborating with this guy. Like hearing Mulholland Drive's ost and then hearing his work on A Very Long Engagement, I wonder where this guy vanished.

You've got a very nice list going on here btw.
