Dumb and Dumber soundtrack is lowkey incredible
I just looked it up, and my only disappointment is that mockingbird isn't on there.
Mock.. SI!
I was coming here to say this and I didn’t think anybody else remembered! Such a good mix of mid 90s awesome.
I haven’t listened to it since the movie was popular but it used to be on regular play for sure. Think I’ll have to dust it off now…
She don’t eat meat, but she sure love the bone
MARY MOOOOOOOOOOON
Dude yes! I loved that soundtrack! I had it on CD but when I got smashed by a F150 my CD player wouldn’t eject it so I lost it forever so sad lol
Th Crow soundtrack was a big deal when it came out. Probably even more so than the movie itself.
Just a banger. Big Empty is my favorite STP song and I love that it's on there. RIP Weiland.
Little kid me BEGGED for The Crow Soundtrack.
I’d suggest The Big Chill and American Graffiti too
The Big Chill is the first album I ever remember listening to as a kid. My parents played it allll the time!
Good choices, also from that era: Animal House has a great soundtrack
Into the Wild was the first thing that immediately came to mind. So great.
It really is. If I recall, Eddie played most of the instruments himself.
His cover of Hard Sun is my favorite track.
Garden State
Upvote for The Crow soundtrack Still on my rotation
My man put into the wild first and that's all I had to see 👍 definitely one of my top 5 movies of all time
Haha...glad I could oblige you.
In addition to all other reasons, it's a great soundtrack for hiking in the woods (earbuds, not speaker), driving on an open road.
Great list, I would add Singles
Judgement Night - mediocre movie... awesome soundtrack
That Faith No More/Boo-yah Tribe collab
Stepped inside to look for this comment. That soundtrack was killer and I'd never heard anything done like that at the time. That was my introduction to the band Therapy? and I've been a fan ever since.
I only came in to find it, too. When I saw the movie in the theater and that soundtrack came out (I’m old), I had to get it and I played it so much. Still do occasionally. But I never got into any other rap/rock stuff. Can’t really stand the genre but that album is so great.
Absolutely agree with this one (though you might be being a bit generous with the rating in calling the movie "mediocre").
I used to go to a bar that still had a CD jukebox with that in it. Those tracks were commonly played by the regulars there. I still drop it now and again as a whole album play.
Love that album! It seemed so cutting edge at the time. I didn’t see the movie until about a year or two ago.
Hell yeah. https://youtu.be/YhTffL5-9d4?si=HnsRsjEgH3DfkVUq
Came here for this! Man… Pearl Jam with Cypress Hill? Faith No More with BooYah Tribe? House of Pain and Helmet? That album was a fever dream of collabs!
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
This soundtrack is bonafide.
But is it also the damn paterfamilias?
I detect, like me, you’re endowed by the gift of gab.
Had to scroll too far down for this one.
Alison Kraus and Union Station if you like that soundtrack. They did most of the songs on it
It's a geographic annomally, we're two weeks away from everywhere.
iiiiiiiiiiiiii ammm the MANNNNNN
Shrek 2. Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Eels, Joseph Arthur, Bowie & Butterfly Boucher, Lipps Inc. The only disappointment is the Buzzcocks’ exceptional “Ever Fallen in Love”, utterly mauled by pete yorn
I love blowing peoples' minds by reminding them that Tom Waits is on the Shrek 2 soundtrack!
Btw, I think you're missing somebody from your list...
Tom Waits is a fuckin legend. Also random but his cameo in Mystery Men is another “wait… Tom Waits?!” moment he’s had. He and his music make their way into the most random stuff 🤣
Frou Frou’s Holding out for a Hero sends me every time.
I love that they called Adam Duritz of Counting Crows to ask him to write an upbeat love song, and he replied, "You want what? Who gave you my number?"
And then he went and wrote Accidentally In Love, which is pretty close to perfect for that film.
The kids in my school always listen to garbage like cardi b and nicki minaj. I listen to good music like the shrek soundtrack and the shrek 2 soundtrack, the list goes on. They named me "the music defener".
Heavy Metal...
Mannnnn. Don Felder's Heavy Metal-Take a Ride is such a banger fucking song.
Every song on that album is a certified banger.
Open Arms...the heaviest of all the metals :)
That's some good soundtrack man!
Tank Girl
BioDome
Lost Highway
Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore
Romeo and Juliet (Talkshow Host might be the best Radiohead song)
Trainspotting
Rushmore is so great.
+1000 on Trainspotting
Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs, Singles, Dirty Dancing, Goodfellas
Gross Pointe Blank
Spawn
Posted spawn before reading the comments. Soundtrack was better than the movie IMO.
My guy. I loved the Spawn soundtrack.
Great soundtrack. I forgot all about it. Thanks for this trip down memory lane!
Spawn was the first one that came to mind. Great collaborations from the artists of that time. Also, Lost Highway.
I’m here for the dance / rock masterpiece that is the Spawn OST.
Taste the back of my crystal fist
I forgot about about the Spawn soundtrack. It was so good.
If Mirror in the Bathroom is not playing while you fight a Basque Nationalist and Algerian Separatist aligned assassin in a high school hallway, you’re doing it wrong.
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas
Forrest Gump
Forest Gump
Mortal Kombat
How are you the only one to have Forest Gump on here?
Tron Legacy. Daft Punk.
Perfect choice for the film. Hell, they even made a appearance in the film
As far as I’m concerned it wasn’t a film, it was a feature length Daft Punk video. When you look at it that way it becomes a 10/10
……wasn’t there a animated film that was pretty much a bunch of AMVs for Daft Punk songs?
Empire Records
Pretty in Pink
Some Kind of Wonderful
Perks of Being a Wallflower
+1 for Empire Records
Damn the man. Save the Empire!
Some Kind of Wonderful is my all time favorite soundtrack, hands down.
Surprised nobody’s mentioned Garden State yet!
I feel like Garden State is now at the stage where people are embarrassed about being too into it 20 years ago. But that soundtrack is still amazing.
Forever a go-to when the weather turns cold and wet
Garden State and Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind are two of my faves.
Tank Girl
Batman Forever (terrible move, great version of Smash It Up!)
Until the End of the World
Lost Highway
Dogs in Space
The Lost Boys
Heavy Metal
It also gave us Kiss from a Rose and the last good U2 song.
And the riddler by method man
Batman & Robin was a great soundtrack too. Moaner by Underworld for one.
Lost Highway sound track is awesome
Until the end of the world is awesome! Thank you for reminding me of it!
Tank Girl and BioDome are the best 90s soundtracks. Both are fun yet incredibly dumb movies, Tank Girl being much cooler though.
Lost Highway also reps the late 90s so well. That Lou Reed track is so fucking good.
The Lost Boys soundtrack is so good!
Last fire will rise
Behind those eyes.
Black house will rock,
Blind boys don't lie.
UTEotW is classic. Many other great choices!
Some others that I haven't seen mentioned yet:
Friday
Forrest Gump
Wayne's World (1 & 2)
Clerks
Angus
Mallrats
Reality Bites
SLC Punk
The Chase
Boomerang
Coneheads (mainly because it gave us Soul to Squeeze)
Black Sheep
