I was recalling a Top 5 conversation recently with a group of friends talking about the best soundtracks of all time. Me, being a list person, put it to a top five situation. I don't recall what they said, because I am a music snob and they were all probably "wrong." However, knowing that I am in good company of music snobbery, I will put down what are in my personal top 5, in no particular order, and welcome your top 5's, critiques of mine, and so on...
1. The Harder They Come...what can you say about Jimmy Cliff. The guy is a Jamaican angel. His voice trumps Bob Marley's.
2. Pulp Fiction...I'm sorry, but this collection of hodge podge gels so well. Chocked with some great surf rock, coupled with other classics, and some killer dialogue.
3. Garden State...easily the best soundtrack of the last 2 to 3 years, and has set the standard for many would be indie movies as far as track selection. Say what you want about Zach Braff, but he's got a great ear.
