Films with unexpectedly good soundtracks?

[mildlymiffed]

Just that really!
Does anyone know of any soundtracks from films that are unexpectedly amazing?

We drove quite a distance yesterday to get to our UK holiday destination and listened to...

The Peter Rabbit soundtrack! It's such a great soundtrack, but really unexpected! Such variety of music- and some really good tunes 🎶🎵🎶🎵!

Does anyone have anymore to share?!

Forrest Gump as a stand-alone soundtrack album.
Baby Driver as an integral part of the film. We watched it a few days ago and as a Soul music fan I really enjoyed the first half. Then it all became a bit Grand Theft Auto.

Shooting Fish
Shaun of the Dead

and second previous mentions of:
Twilight
Trainspotting
Guardians of the Galaxy
Baby Driver

From Dusk till Dawn, seriously cheesey film but epic soundtrack.

Oooh where do people find these, Spotify? Particularly the actual score stuff?

@mogtheexcellent

I bloody love it when DD wants to watch The Pirates and Adventure With Scientists. Fab soundtrack including the jam.

Cant think of any adult ones! Apart from 9 songs which is quite saucy.

This is a spectacularly underaged film and the soundtrack is epic. My kidlets love it if the hear any of the songs on the radio like London calling etc etc

Lion King, Moana, The Blues Brothers

As said earlier The Pirates/Scientist film is awesome and the music choices are inspired. Lock stock soundtrack is like listening to a story unfold and should be listened to in order.
Trainspotting. Now we all know it was seminal and groundbreaking but when it first came out I don't think anyone expected what was delivered musically. A classic

Love actually
Bridget Jones
Probably because reminds me of younger years in London !
Guardians of the galaxy is one of our holiday playlists

O brother where at thou

@shartsi definitely. I'm gonna track that film down and watch again!

Armegeddon has a great sound track.

Desperado
The Lost Boys
From Dusk till Dawn
Phenomenon

Suicide Squad

Broken circle breakdown..be prepared to sob if you have not seen it.

Disney’s Hercules - totally underrated soundtrack

Guardians of the Galaxy
Frozen 2
Blues Brothers

For the old Farts amongst us:

The Highlander
Fried Green Tomatoes
Hunt for Red October

Another vote for the Drive soundtrack, and also not forgetting Blade Runner!

@everythingbackbutyou every time I see someone mention So I married an Axe Murderer I smile and start singing “There she goes” in my head. Awesome film, very underrated.
I love The Devine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood soundtrack, Love actually and the Bridget Jones movie. Also Moulin Rouge .

@7seven7 ah armegeddon - such a cheesy ballad 🤣

Baby Driver
Rock n Rolla
Cocktail
10 things I hate about you
