Music is infinite in replayability. How many times have I listened to my favorite albums? Hundreds? That reason alone helps bolster watching a movie again.
I stopped (ok trying to stop) owning movies, because how is a guy with a job and 2 kids going to have time to watch something more than once?
Well there are 2 movies currently in my mind that have that exception. Fight Club and Scott Pilgrim. Well not only do the movies kick ass in their own right, it's the music thats the kicker.
Extra ++ for songs written for the movie too, rather than a compilation of existing ones.
I own both soundtracks! I do NOT usually own them unless there was some song from some band I had to have.
Examples:
Romeo + Juliet for Radiohead
Angus (did i even see that?) for Weezer
Ransom/Singles/Batman and Robin et al for Smashing Pumpkins (I'm a whore)
Let's thing of other movies with awesome soundtracks that I could easily watch again:
Any Tarantino movie
Trainspotting
Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels
Go
Adventureland
Hedwig
Star Wars and Indiana Jones (of course)
Almost Famous
Magnolia (those 2 Aimee Mann songs pretty much made that movie)
Full Metal Jacket
Stand by Me
Watchmen (Bob Dylan beginning with the camera flashs also make that movie. Times they are ah' changin..)
Flash Gorden (see earlier post)
Cheesy 80s soundtrack alert!
Top Gun
Ghostbusters
Back to the Future (huey lewis baby: thats the POWER of luuuv)
Karate Kid (your the best, there WAAAS!)
Revenge of the Nerds
Most if not all the teenage angst movies. (not going to cover them just seek a top 10 list on the net)
Wow did not expect to write that much. In conclusion theres nary a movie I'd watch again without good music.
