"Who Made Who" - AC/DC in Maximum Overdrive. The lyrics are perfect for the movie. I, of course, love the whole Maximum Overdrive Soundtrack. "Chase the Ace" and D.T. are awesome instrumentals.

"Don't Fear the Reaper" - Blue Oyster Cult in Stephen King's The Stand.. oh no need to explain that at all.

"Orientation #2" - The Escape from New York Soundtrack. To me the song just sets the pace and fits the movie perfectly. The feeling of urgency and intensity in this piece is so right on.

The whole "O Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack. I love the whole thing. The feeling of the movie is captured in the whole score. "Didn't Leave Nobody But the Baby" by Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch and "Man of Constant Sorrow" by Norman Blake are by far the best.

"Lion" by Rebecca St. James from the Chronicles of Narnia. The song is beautiful and it fits Aslan to a T. I love the lyrics and the woman's voice.

I could of course list a hundred more. I love movie music. To me the music has to fit the movie for me or the movie is not as good as it could be. I listen to a lot of soundtrack music.

music, fannish 5
