The entire Man of Steel soundtrack is a bit of a mess and not very good, but the central theme is freaking awesome.

Expand the "Show More" section and click the time/link for "What are you going to do when you're not saving the world."

Now excuse me while I fly away and "do good".

This is a great, great album. If you had to have ONE Reggae album, this might just be it.

[Ilov80s]

Last of the Mohicans, Empire Strikes Back, American Graffiti, The Crow, Elevator to the Gallows and Fantasia. 

 

[Spike]

The Big Country.  (Actually won the Academy Award in 1958 for best score.)

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Re-watching Battlestar Galactica and it compelled me to buy the soundtracks.

Disc 2 of Season 4 is awesome.

All of Season 4 is good but turns great starting with Caprica City, Before The Fall

 

[Bull Dozier]

Singles, then the rest for me.

Good Morning Vietnam is a great one.  That was the kind of music I grew up with playing in the house, I love it.  I also may have been known to walk around the house reciting the Robin Williams bits.  Nothing like not knowing your mom is standing in the next room when you are saying "hot and wet!  That's nice when your with a lady but it ain't no good in the jungle!"

Reality Bites is my guilty pleasure soundtrack.  

 

[rockaction]

The Harder They Come is an album I drafted as the best of 1972. It's awesome. 

Also, Requiem For A Dream has a great score by the Kronos Quartet.  

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Fight Club, if only for the Pixies.

Don’t post here much anymore but still love it when someone pulls up a great old thread like this. This thread wayyy predates Spotify, at least for me, so I’m very glad to have all these suggestions now to add to my playlists
