Top five movie soundtracks?

What are yours?

Here's my faves:

1. Stealing Beauty - terrible movie, great soundtrack (Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, Liz Phair, Portishead and Bootsy Collins, etc.)
2. Trainspotting - Really, who can resist Iggy Pop and Elastica on the same disc?
3. The Crow - Encapsulates the early 90's alt music scene for me
4. Blue Crush - Funky surfer music
5. The Mission - Ennio Morricone at his best, IMO.

1. Grease (gotta love it!)
2. Sound of Music (songs to sing to your babies)
3. Eddie and the Cruisers (actually my DH's, but I love to hear him sing along)
4. 13 Going on 30 (Ahhhh! Brings back so many memories!)

Hmmmmmm....will have to think on this some more.

I don't think I can come up with 5...Here goes:

-Trainspotting
-Natural Born Killers
-About a Boy--I love Badly Drawn Boy!

And honorable mention has to go to Romeo & Juliet only because it has "Talk Show Host" by Radiohead. That song is reason enough to buy an entire album!

I just mentioned this to dh, and his picks are:

-Donnie Darko
-Garden State
-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I am sure there are many more, but I'm tired and I've eaten too much birthday cake today.
