Romeo + Juliet volumes 1 & 2 (2 for When Doves Cry)
Michael Collins
Nowhere
Pink Floyd "The Wall"
Dark City
Dancer in the Dark, under the name: Bjork "Selmasongs"
Private Parts
South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
My So-Called Life

Eh, there's some more, but that oughta be enough.

My favorite composers of film scores are Angelo Badalamenti (does music for David Lynch, among others(and he's the dude who spits out the espresso in Mulholland Dr.!)) and Eliot Goldenthal (The Butcher Boy, Michael Collins...).

How about soundtracks featuring Morrissey/Smiths songs, original or cover?

Off the top of my head, there is:

Boys on the Side
Airheads
The Craft

What else??
 
And...best soundtrack of the year? Rules of Attraction?

My favorite soundtrack of the year, so far, is Rules of Attraction.
That movie totally bombed, somehow, but I kinda liked it. It had some
sex, drugs and rock and roll, which is sorely lacking in many movies
of this PG-13 era. It was also great to see James Van Der Beek trying
to shed his Dawson's Creek image! In one scene he tries to hang
himself, then slash his wrist, then OD on pills, only to wake up
in his own pee.

And it had pretty good music. From The Cure to Blondie to Donovan.
They don't have everything on the soundtrack which was in the movie,
but they do have the European Vacation bit from the movie, which is
hilarious.

I also liked the soundtrack for Not Another Teen Movie, mostly for
Goldfinger doing "99 Red Baloons." Never did see the movie though.

Good to see plenty of David Lynch films in your list.
 
Re: And...best soundtrack of the year? Rules of Attraction?

Oh yeah, duh...Not Another Teen Movie is another one with a Smiths song.

> Good to see plenty of David Lynch films in your list.

David Lynch made my favorite movie of all-time: The Elephant Man.

And he and Angelo put together really good music. I also like the two
Julee Cruise albums Lynch wrote the lyrics for and Angelo wrote the music for.
(Julee Cruise has a brand new album out, I saw at Borders. Has anyone heard it?
I'm assuming Lynch and Angelo aren't involved.)
 
Julie Crusee

Yeah, I've heard it...Sadly enough, she is nothing without Angelo, so I wouldn't sell my wardrobe to get hold of it...
