The soundtrack to 'Garden State' is incredibly good. On that soundtrack, the cover of The Postal Service's 'Such Great Heights' by Iron & Wine is powerful enough to stop you in your tracks and hold you fast and make you remember those things about your past that it took you years to forget.

One favourite doesn't come to mind, but the best film composer has got to be Ennio Morricone, whose list of credits is too long to mention. Maybe most famously known for his work on "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly".
The song "New Slang" by The Shins is also a great song that is on the soundtrack to "Garden State".

Originally posted by StarrmanI must admit I purchased this album too. Combining sci-fi and opera was a delight for me. The mad lucy aria just fits so well in this movie.
Surely Star Wars has to be right up there, as do Flash Gordon, More and of course Jaws, but strangely my favourtie is probably The Fifth Element.

Originally posted by dfm65I recently bought a double pack of their albums (Soundtrack and Made In America [I think]), great songs. Minnie the Moocher is great.
Blues Brothers s/t: Ray Charles, Aretha, Cab Calloway doing 'Minnie the Moocher' (my fave scene from the movie - well, one of them...), James Brown and of course the BBs themselves...
Trying to find the DVD now.

Originally posted by D43M0NCC's stage performance of the song is great. and how could i have not mentioned the BBs performing as the 'Good Ole Boys', doing the theme from Rawhide behind chicken wire in a country and western bar? (we have both kinds of music. country AND western)
