Hitchcock's movies all tend to have good soundtracks.  The first time I watched North by Northwest, I was pretty struck by the sound track, and the timing of it.

Das Boot, by Klaus Doldinger

Seriously?  :huh:

I remember thinking while watching Das Boot that it was a great movie, marred only by the incredibly cheesy and cheap sounding synthesizer sound track.

Synthesizers were only used during a couple scenes.  Das Boot also has the Tipperary song (Red Army version, no less!), the night club music, and a couple other good French songs.

I'll throw in two by Michael Kamen, Brazil and Band of Brothers (not a movie but I don't care).

Edit: Also all Goblin-Argento collaborations. Especially Tenebre.

Oh yeah. :swiss:

Goblin are on tour, FWIW.

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 is my favourite, from his movies.

I also like very much the Robocop theme.

A lot of good soundtracks already mentioned. I throw Sergio Leone's soundtracks for the Dollar Trilogy and Once Upon A Time In The West.

Special mention for the unsettlingly chipper music in Cannibal Holocaust during the hut burning scene.

Purple Rain   :cool:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
