Does it start or end with a lone whistle of "Farmer In The Dell" echoing through the alleys, followed by a chain of kids' voices whispering "Omar comin'! Omar comin', yo!"? If so, I'm ordering it. Hell, I want Omar's whistle as my mobile ringtone.

I always liked the Apocalypse Now soundtrack because it had just enough snippets of Martin Sheen and Brando to transport you to the whole feel of the movie, not just its individual songs.

"Omar comin'"

from Ry Cooder's Paris Texas soundtrack is a thing of beauty. And utterly pointless to those who haven't seen the film.

...has elements of dialogue on it. Enough that if you dim the lights and maybe have some origami strewn around the place, you can imagine that you are living in the dystopian future portrayed in the film.

Is there a version of the Jaws soundtrack with Quint's USS Indianapolis monologue on it? I would tentatively stick my hand into the mouth of a freakishly large Great White Shark to retrieve such a thing. Annoyingly the version of the soundtrack I have contains the orchestral score that accompanies the speech but none of the actual dialogue.

as kids me and my siblings always thought the "king and I" soundtracks were a chiz as they we just the songs not the soundtrack with the words etc.
Good examples I've got the Patton OMS which includes " we grease the tracks of our tanks speech" the "Jungle book" has loads of the dialogue. Apart from that there's the Tarrantino ones. You can make you own using the variouss movie clip sites!
isn't it to avoid giving any money to the actors?

I thought the joy of getting the soundtrack CD was to hear the music without the dialogue and sound effects on top. I think technically it's so that the makers of the soundtrack only have to pay the film composer and not the actors, sound editors and scriptwriters.

For sheer interest value I'd buy a copy of the Star Wars soundtrack if it had tracks with some of the sound effects on it, but I'm just that kind of person.

If you really wanted clips from your favourite films you could always record the audio from the DVD (or even VHS) for your own personal enjoyment.

bits of dialogue from the show or film are great. I put them between tracks on Mixtapes. Ghost Dog is great for this.I'm all for it

is good. Saves you having to watch the film all the way through too.

especially the soundtrack for "Out of Sight" which has lots of Don Cheadle's dialogue and Steve Zahn's hilarious "I have been sitting here for half an hour...." speech.
There was a version of the "Taxi driver" OST with bad Bob De Niro's demented mumblings, if it comes up on the iPod while driving down Kentish Town High road you can't help but give moody looks to all and sundry!

As a child, one of the family's favourite records was Mikis Theodorakis's soundtrack to Zorba the Greek. Each track was led in by some dialogue from the film. I still don't know if the best part of my memory of the record was the music or the voice of Anthony Quinn.

I recently saw the film again, which was an oddly disturbing experience. It is a much darker film than the OST album suggests, and some of the snippets of dialogue were in fact located in completely different parts of the film from the music presented with them on the record.

Also has a Cd soundtrack which includes some dialogue from the film. Very good it is, too

Three other soundtrack albums that have at least snippets of dialogue within them:

- Reservoir Dogs
- Pulp Fiction
- Control

The Wire may or may not be the 'swearingest' show on television but it has no scene as funny as this one which is included in abbreviated version on the soundtrack of Deadwood. The rest of the soundtrack is quirky, evocative and 'of a piece' and has another couple of snippets of Al Swearengen's philosophy.

Some years ago I was in a restaurant where - for some reason - the owners put on the soundtrack to Pulp Fiction, which opens with the Roth-Plummer dialogue that turns into a holdup.
I'm far from a fan, but I knew what was coming, and so I took great joy in watching the family at the next table to see their reactions. As the air turned blue with swearing, the parents frowned and looked at each other with horror, though the two children remained utterly unphased.

has dialogue.

has snippets of dialogue in sequence with the movie.
