If I may what about Stewart Copland’s Rumble Fish soundtrack?

Hi Ktiranno,

For sure! I’m a huge Stewart Copeland fan and “Rumble Fish” is one of my favorite soundtracks. Originally, this article had 20 soundtracks, including this one, but it ran too long so I cut it. I’m going to publish a follow-up list of 10 more that includes “Rumble Fish” next week.

This and the soundtrack to Michael Mann’s Thief by Tangerine Dream are two of my favorites .

Yes, "Thief" is a great soundtrack. In fact, all of Tangerine Dream's soundtracks are all great. I especially like their scores for "Miracle Mile" and "Sorcerer." And, speaking of Michael Mann, the soundtrack to "Manhunter" is one I play all the time too.

Yes! Sorcerer and Manhunter have great soundtracks. As does HEAT! Michael Mann really knows what vibe he wants in his films.
