it's hard to just pick a best; i'd have to sort through that
question through months of reflection upon reflection

i'll just say what first comes to mind: fight club

did you know, the dust brothers recorded the tenacious d
album? they actually produced an album, too, but then some
other producer re-did it with lots more distortion, and they
were all "oh, yeah, that sounds better" and the tenacious d
album that the dust brothers recorded 'n' produced never got
released... but, they did do the studio sessions for that
album. to this day, i'd really like to hear their version.
it was apparently more towards a tenacious d live experience
(two fat guys with acoustic guitars) vs. the released
production that blew them up into a full rock sound

Fight Club soundtrack is ok, it's like 50% great and 50%
shite.

Captain Marvel is among my favs at the moment. The best I've
heard since Black Panther

i guess part of it was where i was at the time: a freshman
in college (uni for brits) and just starting to write proper
music myself. i remember buying the CD on a school-sponsored
trip to be on a robot TV show; i got a full-course credit
and an automatic A. we got something magic i'd never heard
before, called a "per diem" -- which i remembered from my
latin as meaning "per day" -- to buy whatever the fuck we
wanted. being in college, it went to alcohol and a blender.
i bought an ownership stake in the blender, and i did feel
sort of strange when they opened my luggage in security and
i had a blender, along with half a handle of bacardi,
especially given i wasn't yet 21 at the time. they waved me
on

but, yes, it sounded good in the movie. the first time i saw
fight club, i wandered in 1/3 through, and i was asking
questions about what was going on. my college roommate says,
"you're like a child wandering into the middle of a movie"
but i hadn't yet seen the big lebowski either, so it was
lost on me

it is mostly bad when films have soundtracks

i don't really agree. a movie is naturally an escapist,
immersive fing, and anything that adds to the effectiveness
of this adds to the experience of watching a movie. if you
don't want to have a whole team of people trying to move
your emotional rods around like that green velvet video, then
you're more or less not on board with the concept of movies
in and of itself. perhaps you'll find a documentary more
tolerable, though undoubtedly it will still poke some of
your sore spots

i saw both "Avatar" in 3D (which was lovely). then i few
years later, i saw Gary Busy's "Bulletproof," which is
mostly known for spawning the puerile word "Butthorn." i
noticed that scenes in Butth- er, Bulletproof were clearly
split between externals of a tank and scenes shot on a stage
mocked up to look like the inside of a tank. it was was
incredibly obvious to me what had to be done

i got into the emotion of avatar. but i'm not being having a
laugh at it/meself later for the corniness of it

Choosing one is impossible. So I will list 16 films with
decent, if not really good soundtracks:

Life Aquatic
Aquire the wrath of god
Giulietta degli spiriti
Scusi facciamo l’amore?
To ride a white horse
The Wicker man
The Virgin Suicides
Zombi 2
Electric Dreams
Me and you and everyone we know
Moon
Office Space
The infiltrator
Barry Lyndon
Broken Flowers
Full Metal Jacket

nah man, extradiegetic music is what's abstract!!
to be fair i'm not actually against music in films, it's
just the act of actually composing a score in this day and
age strikes me as a bit strange. i like it when the music is
jarring, creates a distancing effect, or is otherwise in
conversation with the pictures, but the usual loud hollywood
or soft plink plonk pads of indie films are rather
unpleasant wallpapers.

i liked the music in It Follows, not so much the music
itself but that it sounded chiptune-y, which is an odd
choice for a horror film and works very well along with all
the strange dateless set choices and seashell e-reader and
such

I thought of a few more (mentioned, not mentioned, original,
or not)

Lost in Translation
Motorcycle Diaries
Passenger 57
Barry Lyndon
Where the wild things are
The thin red line
Punch drunk love
Candyman
The hours
The darjeeling limited
Stander
Heaven’s door
Electric dreams
Drive (First time I saw this on a bus in china it didn’t
have a lot of the cliff Martinez stuff… for ex, in the
elevator scene they played Brian Eno An Ascent - whereas in
the later version I saw they used new incidental music…the
former working better imo)
