100 Thoughts: Movie Soundtracks 7/100

[tari_roo]

3 Quick things: *peers at world through bleary eyes* Contrary to popular opinion, there are not 24 hours in a day. I've tried to find those 24 hours but pesky sleep keeps stealing my hours *mourns lost time*

Two - I love end of year traffic when people begin to go on leave, stop the school runs and the roads start getting quiet. It makes me think that maybe a zombie apocalypse wouldn't be too bad. Aside from all the death and zombies of course. But the roads would be quiet.

Three - Three Awesome movie soundtracks.


Herein I refer not to movie 'scores' but soundtracks. The list of awesome movie scores is a lot longer *stares at list*
Anyhoo, imho, there are three awesome movie soundtracks which meet the following criteria:

1. Fit the movie theme, atmosphere to a tee
2. Have more than 2 awesome songs on the soundtrack. (you have have one great song from a movie or on the track, but the rest are 'okish' or maybe, 'eh' it does not qualify. To qualify on this list - the majority of the tracks would need to be awesome)
3. Can be listened as a whole CD/mp3 list over and over and over again (until you know all the words)
4. Is timeless (as in can be listened to over and over and over again)

My list is:

1. City of Angels

Wow! You are amazing to be dead tired and still come up with this. I'm lucky if I can walk and chew gum at the same time.
Most movies, I find the soundtracks forgettable, or there's one or two good songs and that's it, so my favourites are mainly instrumental and they are from: Lord of the Rings, and Blade Runner.
Some amazing music that matches the movie beautifully.
Here it doesn't really get quiet this time of year, it's mainly in the summer when a whole lot of cars disappear only to reappear when schools start again. Whatever jobs they have to be able to take the summer off - I want it!!!!!

I posted something yesterday? O.o *wipes eyes*

Well, I can't take all the credit, Wikipedia provided most of the information, and linky things :)


I am with you on the scores - LOTR and others. I may do the fav movie score list at some point.

I want a job that gets the summer off too :(
