1. Tron Legacy – Daft Punk
The acting was meh, the visuals and cgi were beyond excellent, but what transformed this movie was the electronic stylings of Daft Punk. I think if anyone else did this soundtrack it wouldn’t have worked. It was seamless and heartfelt where needed and so memorable that listening to the soundtrack weeks later, I still remember exactly what was happening during that song. That…is the mark of a perfect soundtrack.
2. The Runaways – Various Artists
The 70’s LA rock scene is pretty notable and the songs used throughout the movie (not just from The Runaways), did a pretty good depiction of what the music was really like in that area at that time. Mix in a few Runaways songs here and there, and it was just going to be pretty great.
3. Black Swan – Clint Mansell
The music was pretty much as it should have been. While this isn’t truly original music, I firmly believe that any work that transports you to and makes you feel what is going on is what a soundtrack is supposed to do. The variations on the original Tchaikovsky ballet were amazingly done and to this day, the music of this ballet gives me chills. Combine the adaptations of the original work with the gritty direction of Aranofsky, and it was a combination that had a massive impact.
4. Let the Right One In – Johan Soderqvist
What made me really like this soundtrack was since there was little dialogue throughout the movie, it really fell upon the music and visuals to tell much of the story. The neo-classical feel to the music was perfect for the Scandinavian backdrop.
5. Inception – Hans Zimmer
Oh Hans Zimmer…sometimes he is right on the mark, other times he is just blah. I think that in all honesty, his compositions truly felt like part of the movie itself on this one. No themes to speak of, but part of the beauty of the actual film itself.
