2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

A great movie with an even greater soundtrack:
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. All of the TOS movies have great soundtracks, but The Voyage Home's score stands out among them. Just that title track, that plays over a flat shot of the fore credits over a starry sky, is this high energy, multi-movement overture that's more exciting than all Star Trek media made after 2008. We used to have potential as a species.
A shit movie with a legitimately good soundtrack:
Flashdance, of 1983. To quote Todd In The Shadows, "What most people remember about that movie is water, then Maniac right after that, and then about six hours of boring, and then What A Feeling."
Gangsters paradise - Coolio
Movie: Beautiful Mind
Star wars
Here are my 2 cents:
- Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain
- Avatar
Not that those films are bad, but their OSTs are just great.

I Know What You Did Last Summer
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
Annihilation.
It's all ambient, but gives one heck of an ambiance. Especially near the end.

Note that this is a playlist of uploads from different users rather than an official soundtrack. I couldn't find one on Youtube Music and don't know if one exists.
Good movies with better soundtracks:
Edward Scissorhands
Chinatown
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Conan the Barbarian
Boogie Nights
Jackie Brown
Warriors
Pi
Until the End of the World
Scarface
Beyond the Black Rainbow
Escape From New York
Sorcerer

This soundtrack is in my list of "spooky music" things that I was using when I was trying to figure out characteristics that made music sound "spooky"!
