I was ready to give you a pass due to generational differences, but ignoring the Big Chill is mind blowing. You lost me. Maybe you just forgot about it?

How is Superfly not considered an original score? Wasn’t it all written by Curtis Mayfield for the movie?

Scores as in John Williams/Lord of the Rings/etc. Yes, but so was A Hard Day's Night and Purple Rain.

Whoops didn’t mean to disrespect Prince with my comment, but I forgot that Purple Rain movie & soundtrack came along together. 🫣 But whether songs or orchestral pieces, a score’s a score.

Darkening Skies @disturbedsleep.bsky.social

A good list of great soundtracks. The Superfly and Purple Rain soundtracks were written for the films though. Pity that Marvin Gaye's Trouble Man couldn't be included or Philip Glass's Koyaanisqatsi , for the same reason. The Blues Brothers soundtrack though, that should be in there.

The Big Chill & The Blues Brothers deserve honorable mentions. I think High Fidelity absolutely needs to be on there.

Seconded High Fidelity and how can anyone omit Cocktail, Royal Tenenbaums, and while Pulp Fiction is iconic, Jackie Brown is an actual album anyone can drop with no explanation.
