Wild Wild West got called for its historical inaccuracies, and it is a terrible movie but you know what? The song was pretty dope.

Listening to Wild Wild West makes me wish for a Sisqo comeback just for kicks

I always liked that they used the same song for all the Bourne Movies. Extreme Ways.

Also, Kiss from a rose was awesome, too.

I always liked the ending theme much more and it's sad it gets ignored when talking about the movie: U2 - Hold me thrill me kiss me kill me
It just fits so perfectly with the cut to black and credits roll

 

[GCX]

Oblivion - Susanne Sundfør

 

[Drencrom]

doesn't get any cooler than this

Quad City DJ's - Space Jam

 

[legacyzero]

The Matrix Trilogy also had great soundtracks, as well. Namely Rob Zombie

Dragula
Reload

Love this and I gotta add in their other original song for Back to the Future: Back in Time.

Also off the top of my head, any time I hear Oh Yeah I immediately think of Ferris Bueller. Such a catchy song haha

Edit:

The Scott Pilgrim songs
Threshold
We Are Sex Bob-Omb
Black Sheep
We Hate You Please Die

This movie is my favorite recent OST, both the score and licensed soundtrack. <3 Brie Larson covering Metric
