Feb 27: Soundtrack suggestions #1 - Trainspotting et al

Back on January the 14th I added a Google Form which asked people about their favourite film soundtracks.

The music is often a major part of any film.

Here's the first batch of suggestions from people.

Here are a few of the suggestions that people added to the comments or form:

Trainspotting- distills that mid 90's era perfectly - with tunes such as Underworld's 'Born Slippy', Iggy Pop and New Order.

Casino: because the music matches each scene perfectly.

Hans Zimmer gets a few mentions including for 'Inception' and 'Interstellar'

Matt Podbury mentions "The Fountain" by Clint Mansell as being "mind-blowing".

And how about "A Hard Day's Night", which is described as follows:

A Hard Day's Night captures the Fab Four at a moment in time: a moment when they first went HUGE. It's four friends riding the wave and enjoying every minute of it. And when Ringo cuts loose and goes parading it's rock-doc meets psychogeography - Ringo walking along the towpath at Putney & looking over the river to a London that doesn't exist anymore.

Once Upon A Time In The West by Ennio Morricone. It drives the narrative(s) and is haunting as personal dreams and the American dream unravel. There's also a mention for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - also by Ennio Morricone

Jade said: Drive has an amazing soundtrack staring Ryan Gosling. 

If I had to have a close second the album soundtrack to Jackie Brown is amazing! The sounds fits her character to a tee she is such a dude.  

Jaws - the most iconic and instantly memorable associated with a film.
