[@mattmcconnell2550]

I'm here for the Dumb and Dumber Soundtrack!

[@NovembersEnd]

I said it once, I'll say it again... THE CROW!

[@TheFellCloud]

How did you miss The Crow soundtrack?!

[@Danjoker.]

I've always enjoyed the Donnie Darko soundtrack too. Lots of great songs there.

[@bloodydominations992]

I had the Rocky IV soundtrack on cassette and listened to that a million times as a kid. The Crow soundtrack got me through my college years…

[@erikwaters6678]

Boogie Nights soundtracks for the win. Perfect use of "Hidden Tracks" to include the Dirk Diggler songs.

[@mojopin2000]

I can never stop listening to “Once Upon a time in Hollywood”. It is a stone cold Time Machine to the summer of 1969. And that’s because QT took an actual reel to reel recording of the L.A. radio station that a fellow nerd had recorded in the summer of 1969. Everything, the actual song audio, the local commercials, everything in the soundtrack is as it was in 1969. It’s the greatest example of QT’s obsession with the small details.

[@billanderson82]

I love the 80's. My 2 favorite soundtracks are The Lost Boys and Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

[@ryandavis5379]

Awesome video! I'd love for you guys to follow up with Best Scores! It's frustrating to me how many film reviews I'll watch and they will just pass by any discussion on the music.

[@ReinhardtCustoms]

Great list. The Crow is my favorite.

[@bh7622]

Been out of the country and just seeing this. I couldn’t give this a thumbs up fast enough. I’m leaving this comment before I watched. Friday better at least be an honorable mention!

[@russceasetheruss5360]

Oh yeah... throw your neighborhood in the air...

[@dajmasta94]

I admire Matt’s inclusion of Dumb & Dumber here. The Farrelly brothers’ films are chock full of great songs and they really capture the time period they came out in. Not saying they’re always full of the most iconic songs but that Dumb & Dumber soundtrack does ooze a feeling of the 90’s

[@4K_Kings]

Thank you, you captured my thoughts perfectly. I feel vindicated. Your move, Russ.

[@branscombe_]

Yeah, the dazed and confused volume two really took me to the next level of my classic rock in my early teens

[@russceasetheruss5360]

Summer Breeze makes us feel fine.

[@branscombe_]

[@JWickyJr13]

The two Schumacher Batman films had absolute banger soundtracks.

[@Adeniyidairo]

This was great next I would like to see the best filmscores. Good job guys

[@Danjoker.]

Pulp Fiction always comes to mind when I think of the greatest soundtracks. You cannot think Pulp Fiction without thinking of the soundtrack.

[@whiskeynightwithcandj533]

The Crow soundtrack is amazing as well!

[@MrBlue3rd]

I think your part 2 video should be of your favorite score soundtracks. Of the ones you listen Pulp Fiction is iconic to me and I think I had the Dumb and Dumber Soundtrack on cassette.😂

[@russceasetheruss5360]

Tangerine Dream has entered the chat

[@physicalmediaodyssey]

Love the Natural Born Killers soundtrack and all Tarantino related ones. I've always found humour in the weird kind of meta criss-cross of the Boogie Nights soundtrack with Mark Wahlberg singing "The Touch". The song was originally sung by Stan Bush for the animated “The Transformers: The Movie” released in 1986. Not only is the artists’ name very apt for a “Boogie Nights” character alias, but Mark Wahlberg then goes on to star in the later live action Transformers movies! If only he was credited as Dirk Diggler in it! As a lifelong Transformers fan, I still have a nostalgic childhood glow for the song!😀

[@branscombe_]

16:00 looks like you convinced him Matt, now all three of us agree!

[@enriquecabada8841]

damm the friday soundtrack takes me back when it released i had just got my first car it was a beater but it didn't stop me from putting 15" subwoofers and a cd changer in it the soundtrack was in constant rotation all year long

[@russceasetheruss5360]

Hell yeah... the bass on Friday, Keep Their Heads, Roll It Up & Superhoes alone...

[@burninator1983]

Some of my favourite soundtracks... Batman Forever Daredevil Guardians of the Galaxy Highlander The Matrix Mortal Kombat Pulp Fiction Spawn The Transformers: The Movie The Wedding Singer

[@russceasetheruss5360]

Interesting you have Daredevil on here... I grew up watching one of the bands on it locally (lead singer lived one neighborhood over) and my friend is close friends with the singer. It's boysetsfire, but I have no idea what song is on there, I just remember being aware they were on it.

[@burninator1983]

@@russceasetheruss5360 that's cool. Track 14, "High Wire Escape Artist" is their song on that soundtrack. I personally enjoy Daredevil, both the theatrical and the superior director's cut, but admit that it's one of those occasions where the soundtrack is better than the actual movie.

[@dajmasta94]

Really happy this channel seems to be growing!

[@4K_Kings]

Thank you! Our goal is 10k by the end of the year.

[@branscombe_]

Simpsons sing the blues and the South Park soundtrack were also very epic, true staples in my childhood

[@russceasetheruss5360]

Wow... you took me back with Simpsons Sing the Blues... had that on cassette...

[@netzer442]

Great show, Part 2 pls!!

[@oscarburrows-rangel3302]

I love "Dead Presidents!" WATCH IT ALREADY RUSS!!

[@russceasetheruss5360]

I've seen literally every other Hughes Bros. movie except the one that is my favorite soundtrack of all time 😂 I think it became a thing where I don't want the movie to influence how I feel the songs if that makes sense. But we're going on 30 years now lol, I'll watch it.

[@branscombe_]

4:15 i must have listened the first half of Born Slippy 100,000 times as a teen

[@russceasetheruss5360]

An odd one that's been overlooked and while not perfect, was better than it had any right being, was the Coneheads soundtrack.

[@AVoulgarellis]

Russ needs to watch dead presidents asap. he's gonna love it

[@Scottyguns]

Juice soundtrack and both House Party movies were great. Forrest Gump soundtrack is underated. Tons of great songs. The Wedding Singer with all the classic 80's songs. Goodfellas & A Bronx Tale for your Italian gangster needs.

[@russceasetheruss5360]

Let's see if Matt & Russ know the ledge... and the House Party II soundtrack is underrated. Tony Toni Tone's song is incredible and there's a gem on there called "I Lust 4 U" that is soooo perfectly early 90s R&B it's insane.

[@Scottyguns]

@@russceasetheruss5360 On Juice of course you got the heavy hitters with Naughty, Rakim and Big Daddy but I love the Teddy Riley is it good to you, Aaron Hall don't be afraid and Rahiem does your man know about me. Love the 90's

[@Bigtymer781]

Bloodsport has a good soundtrack. It's more mortal kombat than mortal kombat, before mortal kombat even existed. Of course, Pulp Fiction is one of the best. Another one of my favorite soundtracks not mentioned in your video is Kingpin.

[@christisdale9977]

Based on your review of the soundtrack of Dead Presidents ,I ordered my vol 1 and 2 and get them Aug 12th.Also ordered the movie on Prime video.

[@russceasetheruss5360]

I promise, they are phenomenal soundtracks in every sense of the word... One caveat, on Vol. 1, there is one song that isn't from the era and is a remake. "Where is the Love" is originally by Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway, where on the soundtrack it's a 90s version. Admittedly it's pretty good though, and for years I was only aware of this version and not the original. If you're familiar with Mary J. Blige's version of "Sweet Thing" compared to Rufus/Chaka Khan's, it's like that, where it's almost a beat for beat cover only updated by decade.

[@branscombe_]

5:45 what a great story. We don’t get to be surprised much anymore. As far as physical media goes eh boys? You guys keep me way too up-to-date!

[@4K_Kings]

We'll be back this week!

[@shanedarby6501]

American Psycho soundtrack is pretty good! I always listen to it to get my Patrick Bateman on before I go out for the night! Now if you'll excuse me I need to return some videotapes..

[@Thecatdrums3]

The best soundtracks I’ve heard are: 2001 a space Odyssey the exorcist tales from the Hood Spider-Man 2002 Manhunter true romance Bride of chucky Dangerous minds Guardians of the galaxy Don’t worry darling

[@russceasetheruss5360]

Whenever I hear "Living Dead Girl" I think of Jennifer Tilly walking in the beginning of Bride of Chucky.

[@mojopin2000]

“The Crow” “Spawn”

[@branscombe_]

12:40 it’s the greatest of all time, not sure how you boys missed “almost famous”

[@wil89098]

I wish Dead Presidents had a 4K.

[@NovembersEnd]

... or even a damn Blu-ray! 📀

[@davetaylor7520]

Love your show, guys! You are both around my age, so I wholeheartedly agree with your soundtrack choices. However, do we have bias because of our specific age? All these soundtracks came out within a 5 year period and it very much correlates with our ‘coming of age.’ Do you have any older or younger friends that you could bring in to give their opinions on best soundtracks…one coming of age in the early 80’s and one coming of age in the early or late 2000’s? That could be quite eye opening and may turn us on to some new options. Thanks!

[@russceasetheruss5360]

We did have a discussion that was edited out about this... and while our ages are an inescapable factor, the 90s really were the pinnacle of soundtracks (commercially). They figured out they could promote new artists, resell catalog hits, etc. without completely relying on familiarity with the movie. Mtv arguably being at its peak also helped promote them better, as they're a channel focusing on music with visuals. For instance, more people love Kiss From a Rose than have actually sat down and watched Batman Forever from beginning to end. Where in Saturday Night Fever's case, most people associate Staying Alive with Travolta walking down the street.

[@NUCLEARFUZEN]

Definitely need to do a part 2 of this which includes the following: The Crow Purple Rain Forrest Gump Rocky IV The Matrix Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy The Wedding Singer 50 First Dates Risky Business Mortal Kombat (1994) Watchmen The Bodyguard The Lion King Empire Records Dirty Dancing Kill Bill 1 & 2 Grease Batman Donnie Darko

[@Bigtymer781]

Oh, I almost forgot. Fight Club!

[@russceasetheruss5360]

[@garyberkowitz4603]

Some more great soundtracks: Repo Man Purple Rain So I Married an Axe Murderer The Big Chill Mortal Kombat (1994)

[@russceasetheruss5360]

Iggy did the Repo Man song for free, Alex Cox told me this personally. Said Iggy Pop is a great dude, and to this day calls Alex Cox on his birthday every year.

[@Quinn25]

Last Action Hero rocks.

[@GBFeb72]

Ennio Morricone; The Good The Bad and The Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West

[@sexymonkey-dr8cx]

Those are scores, so can't technically be included on a soundtrack list.

[@karstenquast7503]

Everything Hans Zimmer pretty much 😊

[@grievousangel1984]

Forrest Gump, American Hustle, and Watchmen are the 3 best soundtracks (in that order)

[@grievousangel1984]

Honorable mention to The Crow

[@WPorta1969]

Empire Records and The Crow soundtracks.

You Could Be Mine is my favorite G&R song

[@ricogomez4020]

Now why would you use songs that were not made for the movie as a soundtrack? These are like K-Tel music compilations.

[@karstenquast7503]

But if you only mean songs then i would say something like Desperado and Vanilla Sky 🎼

[@Lamont580]

Two Tarantino soundtracks, and you somehow left out Reservoir Dogs? …A soundtrack that includes the DJ radio narration by famous comedian Steven Wright? A movie that actually opened with one of the most famous discussions of pop music in film? A movie that managed to elevate “Stuck in the Middle with You“ amidst choreographed ear removal?

[@russceasetheruss5360]

I'll take it a step further... "Little Green Bag" (played in the opening credits and track 2 on the soundtrack) is the reason Matt and I bonded as friends when we were 15!

[@MrHorrorluvr]

No mention of The Lost Boys, deems this list irrelevant.

[@russceasetheruss5360]

Respectfully, I need this explained... I've come to believe it's the cover of "People Are Strange" that puts me off entirely (I was a kid who was obsessed with The Doors), but I just don't see this as being classic. Cry Little Sister is iconic, but the soundtrack as a whole? As someone who grew up on the movie, aside from the Doors cover, Cry Little Sister & Walk This Way being used, I can't even remember any other songs in it. I do say all this respectfully, I'm clearly in the minority here...

[@MrHorrorluvr]

All I can say is go listen again.

@@russceasetheruss5360 ... Ha-ha! Sometimes we all get sucked into it. Maybe I'm just older and only think of rock/metal when I hear "banger", like from MTV's HeadBANGER's Ball.
