So I'm interested in what movies that you know of that have excellent postrock/idm/indie/classical soundtracks/scores.

Movies that jump immediately to my mind are:

28 Days Later (John Murphy/Godspeed You Black Emperor)
Zidane (Mogwai)
Friday Night Lights (Explosions in the Sky)
Angels of The Universe (Sigur Ros)
Sunshine (John Murphy/Underworld)
Requiem for a Dream (Clint Mansell/Cronos Quartet)
The Fountain (Clint Mansell/Cronos /Quartet/Mogwai)

Word.

Michael Andrews stuff is pretty awesome.

Donnie Darko (Score) - Michael Andrews
Me and You and Everyone We Know - Michael Andrews

and Ennio Morricone's soundtrack albums are tpr.

My vote is on The Proposition, although its not pure post-rock per se. Elements of it, maybe. Still my favorite soundtrack yet.

Most of those aren't really post-rocky regardless of how good they are.

thats what i was thinking and was a bit hesitant to post my selections.... but then i read:

idm? pi.

just watched the real dirt on farmer john.

i dont know if it counts or not, but pretty much every song used in it is from the dirty three.

so maybe it counts?

I quite like the Wicker Park soundtrack. There's some indie (stuff like Death Cab for Cutie, The Shins, The Postal Service) and some post-rock (Mogwai, múm).

So indie/post-rock/experimental/idm

Kronos, not Cronos. They deserve proper spelling

On topic, I heard a familiar track in a trailer for The Brave One. Don't know if it's in the movie though.

Thumbsucker (Elliot Smith)
The awesome Mysterious Skin (Sigur ros)
Children of men's trailer (Sigur Ros as well). Cold.

shit...
i was going through some movies, before i posted, last night and cronos (del Toro) was one of em...
brain drain.
oops...

Though, not quite a post-rock band, the score to "Stay" by Asche and Spencer is very post-rcok sounding.

Ravenous has a pretty cool soundtrack.

Ravenous is such a good flick.
the score's what makes it.

All the Real Girls had some Mogwai and Explosions in it

white light / black rain
mogwai

except for the mysterious skin ost is by robin guthrie.

also

Exactly, that track is the best sigur ros track too. I listened to it at the end and thought wow, and didn't even think it was sigur ros even though I had bought the album

The actual ost done by budd/guthrie is really good too, I find budd/guthrie boring on their albums, but that album is superb. A silh.. apprroaches is the best track I think.
