#86. Film Soundtracks

I am not talking about the latest bland blockbuster tie in. I'm talking about the soundtrack to those smaller/cult/cool pictures that unearth tracks that you have never heard and quite frankly; blow your mind. Scorsese is a genius at the perfect soundtrack, Tarantino is brilliantly idiosyncratic and Mann marries the image perfectly to the ambience of a track. Three examples why you should watch films more (purely from a musical standpoint):

Deathproof O.S.T (Quentin Tarantino). How foot tappingly awesome is this:

Raging Bull 0.S.T (Martin Scorsese). Nothing short of movie perfection:

The Insider (Michael Mann). Sorry I have posted this in a comp but ex Dead Can Dances' Lisa Gerard is an amazing soundtrack specialist.
