25 Of The Very Best Action Movie Soundtracks
Collateral (2004)
Any fighters out there looking for inspiration for some entrance music? It won’t often get cooler than the above.
As far as Michael Mann movies go, Collateral is a weaker entry, but its soundtrack is a cut above. The compilation alone is probably the best that has accompanied a Michael Mann film, an awesome selection by him.
A great look for Tom Cruise in that movie as well, it’s a pity he didn’t return to it and bad guy/anti-hero roles more often in general.
GoldenEye (1995)
GoldenEye in my estimation had the best soundtrack for any Bond movie. It was a slick modern take on the franchise and came in when things needed a reboot, sort of, License to Kill was a good predecessor.
There is just something cool about GoldenEye’s soundtrack. We may not be able to put our finger on that percussive and badass allure, but it’s there alright. However I do think the side was let down by Tina Turner’s pedestrian and forgettable into song. License to Kill was by far the best entrance song for a Bond movie.
We need another GoldenEye style reboot. Bond, in an effort to shake off its cheesy invisible car cartoonish era, has become too dull.
