Absolute favorite soundtrack from a tv show cartoon or film?

Just that Haynes had a plan that involved would have been commendable.

That the folks who were not Haynes executed that plan as well as they did?

It's still kind of hard to believe.

Rumor is David Bowie refused to let his music be used for the movie because the source material was a tell-all book written by his ex-wife...

... and "Rock & Rule"

It's too bad more people don't know about this movie

Iwould say the sound track to "Jesus Christ Superstar" which is kind of cheating because it's a musical, but, hey.

Probably my third favorite rock movie...( 70's version though, there's been a couple of remakes/updates )

I just barely remember seeing this on broadcast TV as a kid, but totally remember all these songs being on the radio on a constant basis for years.

I never saw the movie until it was on TV, and what little I saw wasn't all that memorable.

But the soundtrack album I bought back in the day when vinyl was still king!
A lot of great stuff on that, including the title track by Steely Dan.

The first thing I thought of was Drive, and I feel like an awful hipster now. Realistically my favourite soundtrack would be a composite of the various Twin Peaks series and movie though, which have a tonne of amazing selections (“ladies and gentlemen - the Nine Inch Nails!”).

Any movie starring Michael Pare.

Discounting musicals, I would say Star Wars (1977). Just about wore that album out.

Also, Superman (1978).

I would say Rocky 4 but I think that's kind of still cheating since Rocky 4 basically was a music video masquerading as a movie.

When it comes to great use of music, I think "Watchmen" did a great job of choosing music for the mood and the era.

Although a streaming series, not a movie, the second season of the Umbrella Academy did a fantastic job of capturing 1963, the more so because they wanted to capture the grownup world of that time, not the teenaged world. So, instead of the Beatles, it was Dean Martin, Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Ella Fitzgerald, and so on. It was almost a sound track and Who's Who of the singers people of 30+ would have been listening to.

Maybe those last two don't count because they were not music original to the movie or show but still.
