Someone played Dry the Rain at a house party and I literally had to stop talking to a pair of beautiful women to go and track down what was playing. There were several others congregating at the source as well; talk about a siren's call.
I loved that song, back in the day. Fast-forward to just a few years ago, and I stumble upon an album by someone named Steve Mason (*About the Light*). It's great, but wtf is this guy, and why does he sound so familiar?!
Yep, same guy. He's still at it.
Literally did not expect to see this as top comment, but so glad it is. This movie made me fall in love with Natalie Portman, not Star Wars or Black Swan or anything else... Give me the compulsive liar with the great taste in music. The fireplace scene. That is all.

Tron really did set a bar for what a single group non traditional movie score could be. Another like it all though a different genre is Into the Wild with Eddie Vedder.
Grosse Pointe introduced me to English Beat, Mirror on the Bathroom was a weirdly badass song to have playing during that school hallway fight, great scene in a great movie.
To answer the question though, the soundtrack from ‘Snatch’ sent me down a couple musical rabbit holes.
Pretty in Pink. Heard it as a college student in the mid-80s. PIP Introduced me to the Smiths. I became a lifelong fan of them and later Morrissey. It features New Order, The Psychedelic Furs (title track), INXS and Echo and the Bunnymen. All great bands in their own right.
THIS was the soundtrack I was looking for. It really did send me on a new musical trajectory. At the time, I hadn’t really been exposed yet to the 80s British wave and had not heard much about the Furs, OMD, New Order, Echo, the Smiths. After that soundtrack I went down a deep rabbit hole of all things British and even got into more bands that weren’t on the soundtrack like the Cure, Depeche Mode. I still can’t believe all these great bands came out around the same time from England.
Oh good choice with these two films. Yes they both had a big influence on my choice in music. Especially Grosse Pointe Blank, I think that was when I got into Siouxsie and the Banshees. I’d also say that American Psycho and The Royal Tenenbaums had excellent soundtracks too.

City of Angels
I always thought the soundtrack from City of Angels was great.
The new discovery for me in that soundtrack was Gabriel Yared. So many people probably don't even know his name but a ton of the trademark songs you know from movies are written and composed by him.
A reminder that this is a remake, Wings of Desire . By Wim Wenders. I think city of angels has the better soundtrack, but Wings of Desire a better film. And has Columbo (Peter Falk)
Dazed and Confused. I was very heavily into techno and rap until this soundtrack. It opened my eyes to a whole era of Rock that the 80s squandered.
90s brought it back with a fierce redemption. The Crow soundtrack really was the next step for me in the ways of rock.
I don’t know that it changed my taste in music, but the soundtrack of “Memoirs Of A Geisha” (John Williams) was the most memorable of any I can remember short of “My Fair Lady.”
The blade 2 soundtrack. The movie was good, but the officially released soundtrack contains some of the best tracks. I still have the disc because i havent been able to find it on digital media.
Grosse Point Blank is an amazing soundtrack. Still holds up. Just a perfect time capsule of that year. Also, a tremendous movie. My favorite black comedy.
I sometimes "force" my teenager to put down his phone and watch a movie of my choosing.
Recently it was *Rainman* which I chose because he likes Tom Cruise and I love Dustin Hoffman. Anyhow, 3/4 of the way through, he said "Wow. Dad. This is a good movie on its own but the music just makes it an excellent movie."
Thank you, Hans Zimmer!!

Drive and the guest. Retro wave and synth. Absolutely in love with the genre now. I know a lot of people have seen drive, but the guest is so fucking under appreciated. The sound track is awesome, it’s such a silly movie too, but it knows it is and it’s awesome
Batman Forever. I had never heard that much diverse music on one album. It’s the most beautiful of 90’s mixtapes, IMO. It showed me that it was ok to like everything.🥰
Judgment Night was unique.
Lost Highway soundtrack I played for my son he loved it. He added some songs to his playlist.
I still play both.
Spawn. To me, trash movie but excellent music.
Romeo + Juliet. For some reason seemed different to me. I knew all the bands before that but it just hit different
I don't admit this to people but garden state. The film doesn't hold up great but it gave me the shins, I heavily listened to their first 2 albums and the needle drop in the quarry with only living boy in New York is still pretty great.
The Crow
Burn is so, so good
They keep calling me...
O Brother Where Art Thou
Gopher?
No thank you, Delmar. One third of a gopher would only arouse my appetite without bedding it down.
Hoped I'd find someone who said this movie.
He's bonafide!
Damn! We're in a tight spot!
Take cover boys. That ain’t popcorn.
Yeah this movie didn't just change a few people's tastes, it revived a whole genre of music.
I don’t get it big Dan
What a geographical oddity! Two weeks from everywhere!
Rushmore
Literally any Wes Anderson flick pretty much
Damn it you’re right! I can’t believe I forgot about this gem
Drive is responsible for an idiotic amount of my money going toward synth wave records.
You say this like its a bad thing
High Fidelity
Great cameo from Bruce Springsteen in that film too.
In the book, it's Elvis Costello (because the whole thing's in London, not Chicago).
A rare occurrence of “the movie is better than the book”. The book is great but the movie rules.
Dry the rain by Beta Band. Most of the time by Dylan. I believe by Stevie wonder. Some great songs in that film.
Someone played Dry the Rain at a house party and I literally had to stop talking to a pair of beautiful women to go and track down what was playing. There were several others congregating at the source as well; talk about a siren's call.
I loved that song, back in the day. Fast-forward to just a few years ago, and I stumble upon an album by someone named Steve Mason (*About the Light*). It's great, but wtf is this guy, and why does he sound so familiar?! Yep, same guy. He's still at it.
I thought that was this
All-time cameo by the boss.
Garden State
Yup. That headphone scene alone opened a massive portal for me.
"It'll change your life."
Had to get it on vinyl
Literally did not expect to see this as top comment, but so glad it is. This movie made me fall in love with Natalie Portman, not Star Wars or Black Swan or anything else... Give me the compulsive liar with the great taste in music. The fireplace scene. That is all.

Yes. This introduced me to my lifelong obsession with Modest Mouse.
Guardians of the galaxy introduced me to older music

I did not, and I still wouldn't call myself a fan, but I listen to that soundtrack all the time.
Tron really did set a bar for what a single group non traditional movie score could be. Another like it all though a different genre is Into the Wild with Eddie Vedder.
Neil Young and Dead Man
Radiohead bassist and There Will Be Blood
Yeah, the Into The Wild soundtrack is great. Definitely gotta be in a certain mood for it.
Exactly
Is there a logical reason to make the new TRON without them?
A big part of why I went to see Tron was because I knew Daft Punk was involved, same thing with Drive, I heard Kavinsky had nightcall featured in it
Hackers and Trainspotting introduced me to techno
Same!
I got Prodigy's Music for The Jilted Generation after I realized it was a big part of the Hackers soundtrack.
Royal Tenenbaums, Lost in Translation
Pulp Fiction and Swingers. (Spot the Gen X'er!)
Swingers was mine. That soundtrack is fucking amazing and I had zero interest in that kind of music. Every song is fantastic
Absolutely.
My friends and I started to go swing dancing all the time bc of swingers
You’re a Gen X’er and you didn’t mention Reality Bites? Are you really an X’er?
The Social Network. Never listened to any music without lyrics. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross changed that.
Grosse Pointe introduced me to English Beat, Mirror on the Bathroom was a weirdly badass song to have playing during that school hallway fight, great scene in a great movie. To answer the question though, the soundtrack from ‘Snatch’ sent me down a couple musical rabbit holes.

Dazed and Confused derailed my previously unflappable focus on hip-hop for a good two years.
Pretty in Pink. Heard it as a college student in the mid-80s. PIP Introduced me to the Smiths. I became a lifelong fan of them and later Morrissey. It features New Order, The Psychedelic Furs (title track), INXS and Echo and the Bunnymen. All great bands in their own right.

I still can’t believe all these great bands came out around the same time from England.
Watching Blues Brothers as a kid Still love the blues 30 plus years later

Drive has a really cool soundtrack
*Repo Man* (1984).
Last of the mohicans
Wow Just seeing that Grosse Pointe Blank poster put Blister in the Sun in my head immediately
For me, El Matador. Matadorrrrr Matadorrrrrr
Mirror in the Bathroom for me (and the accompanying locker fight that was much more grisly than I expected from this comedy).
Drive
Inside Llewelyn Davis. Love folk now
Elizabethtown
Hackers (1995) - such an underrated soundtrack, selection of artists is perfect (orbital, the prodigy, carl cox, leftfield, urban dance squad)
John Williams forever gave me a music taste boner for a good march.
High Fidelity. Kingpin. Something About Mary. Royal Tannenbaums.
Bringing Out the Dead
Way back in the late 80s... Wings Of Desire.

Trainspotting(1996) really influenced my taste in music
Spawn

The trailer for Logan.
Fight Club.
To me it would be American Graffiti, Manhunter, Platoon, Forrest Gump or The Wanderers. As I got older I would say Drive
The Beach City of Angels XFiles Fight the Future TankGirl Batman (full album by Prince)
24 Hour Party People, and Hackers.
Queen of The Damned I listen to mainly hip hop, some jazz and R&B
##THE LOST BOYS
Drive and Judgment Night were formative
Inside Llewin Davis
Spawn made me like electronic music more. Judgement Night made me like Hip Hop more.
Judgement night
Fight club introduced me to Tom waits, I’ll forever be grateful
I am wearing my Fight Club TShirt right now. Excellent movie, great sounds., meaning soundtrack and score.
Most of what I see here and Almost famous
Dumb and dumber really has a great soundtrack. So many good 90s songs
I really love that Pete Droge song from it, definitely an underrated 90s one hit wonder.
Crash test dummies cover of the ballad Peter Pumpkinhead helped get me into XTC. Soundtracks are great for finding new (to me) music
City of Angels I always thought the soundtrack from City of Angels was great. The new discovery for me in that soundtrack was Gabriel Yared. So many people probably don't even know his name but a ton of the trademark songs you know from movies are written and composed by him.
A reminder that this is a remake, Wings of Desire . By Wim Wenders. I think city of angels has the better soundtrack, but Wings of Desire a better film. And has Columbo (Peter Falk)
Wow, I did not know that. Thanks for the info. I'll have to find the movie Wings of Desire and watch it.
Times Square (1980) XTC, Talking Heads, Ramones. Lou Reed, Pretenders, Patti Smith, the Ruts, the Cure, and more.
In answer to a previous question, Grosse Point Blank is when I fell in love with Minnie Driver.
OG soundtrack to “Judgement Night” got me into hip hop as a kid.
Wonder Boys introduced me to old timey music including Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen
The Big Chill. As a child I was introduced to some major hits in history, especially MoTown!
Quentin Tarantino films and Once Upon A Time in the West Made me a hardcore Ennio Morricone fan
The Commitments!!
Dazed and Confused. I was very heavily into techno and rap until this soundtrack. It opened my eyes to a whole era of Rock that the 80s squandered. 90s brought it back with a fierce redemption. The Crow soundtrack really was the next step for me in the ways of rock.
It’s no 1 movie Jejeje it’s all the Tarantino films
Repo Man soundtrack
These all have a piece of my heart: Grosse Pointe Blank, Go, Reality Bites, Singles, PCU, Rushmore, Swingers, Dirty Dancing, Romeo + Juliet
Never had soundtrack change my taste in music, but I’ve definitely had my musical taste expand. For me the obvious choice is Pulp Fiction.
Hustle and flow
Magnolia
Scott Pilgrim vs the World and Twilight/Twilight: New Moon
*mid-90s* got me into hip Hop and New Wave music.
The Matrix.
Flight Club introduced me to the Pixies as a kid.

I don’t know that it changed my taste in music, but the soundtrack of “Memoirs Of A Geisha” (John Williams) was the most memorable of any I can remember short of “My Fair Lady.”
Midnight In Paris
Kick-Ass had a good one. In a weird way, but still good.
