BSIDERIFF O.S.T.

February 10, 2025

There are films that marked our lives, that played a role in shaping our personality, that changed our perspective or that simply hardened us and inspired us to face the outside world because we realized that there are others like us. From these movies BSIDERIFF.COM has selected 20 songs for your holiday soundtrack.

1.George Baker- Little Green Bag
Starting with the track heard in the opening credits of the film Reservoir Dogs, with which Quentin Tarantino was introduced to us as a director.

2.Sqürl — Funnel of Love
I don’t know if Only Lovers Left Alive is Jim Jarmusch’s best film, it is certainly the film that managed to get the most shocking performances from Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston.

3.La Haine – Cut Killer “Nique La Police”
It is the film that fell like a molotov at the Cannes festival in 1995, the best non-English film of all time that always manages to be relevant. Mathieu Kassovitz joins the pantheon of great creators by introducing us to Vincent Cassel in the best role of his later great career.

4.The Cure – Burn
Hollywood’s most haunted movie, during which its star Brandon Lee was shot dead. A movie the definition of Gothic with a comic book hero that haunts you and one of the most imposing villains in the history of cinema. We are of course talking about The Crow by Alex Proyas with one of the best o.s.t. of all ages.


5.Underworld – Born Slippy
Can the best British film be Scottish and the best track on a soundtrack with all stars names like Iggy Pop, New Order, Lou Reed Pulp, Blur belong to Underworld? In the world of Trainspotting anything is possible.

6.Cowboy Junkies – Sweet Jane
When you and me against the whole world became 100% action. One of the most dangerous, cursed and elusive serial-killer pairings in film history can be found in Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers.

7.Q.LAZZARUS – Goodbye Horses
A cursed artist was destined with her only known song to haunt the best thriller of all time. We’re talking about the movie The Silence of the Lambs and Q.LAZZARUS’s Goodbye Horses, one of the most covered songs of all time.

8.Pixies – Where Is My Mind?
I can’t say much about Fight Club because the first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club.

9.Connie Francis-Siboney
The best film about unfulfilled loves, repressed passions and their aftermath is of course from Asia. 2046 by the great Wong Kar-Wai.

10. Bauhaus – Bela Lugosi’s Dead
When the image and music create the most chilling scene to open a movie. The vamp couple Catherine Deneuve-David Bowie watch BAUHAUS perform BELA LUGOSI’S DEAD live in Tony Scott’s The Hunger.

11.Under Your Spell – Desire
Is Drive the Taxi Driver of the 21st Century? However, before getting involved with Barbie, Ryan Gosling managed to give us 3 unique performances (Drive, Blue Valentine, The Place Beyond the Pines).

12.Boy George-The Crying Game
Once upon a time there were no big reviews and spoilers for the movies that came out in the cinemas with the result that after 45 minutes, when Dil undressed we were all frozen like Stephen Rea was left…One of the most surprising pairings with a song from the most controversial performer Boy George in the biggest outsider ever to invade the Oscars. The Crying Game won Best Screenplay for Neil Jordan and was nominated for Best Director, Best Actor for Stephen Rea, Best Actor for Jaye Davidson and Best Picture.

13.Yann Tiersen – TheChiefEmperor
The question that arises is not whether women like Amelie exist today, but whether they even existed once.

14.Franka potente- Believe
About women, I’m always very jealous of Lola’s chick who in every version would run to save him without a second thought.

15.Girls Against Boys – Kill The Sexplayer
What is the film that for the rights to the songs used in the soundtrack was given more money than the total money for its creation? Kevin Smith’s surprise hit DIY comedy Clerks.

16.Clint Mansell – Lux Aeterna
Are there cinematic masterpieces that have blown you away but you can’t bear to watch them again because you get sick? Of course not, unless we’re talking about Requiem For A Dream…

17. NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS – From Her To Eternity
In my opinion, if there was no La Haine and the Sweet Bunch of Nikos Nikolaidis, Wings of Desire would be the best European Film of all time.

18.Brian Kelly – She Is Dancing
Awesome movie, awesome actors, awesome o.s.t. Basquiat immediately comes to mind and overpowers the song I snorted.

19.The Jesus And Mary Chain – Just Like Honey
Alienation, lack of happiness, platonic loves, the need to be loved for who we are, the unbearable lightness of modern big cities
better delivered than ever by Sofia Coppola in Lost in Translation.

20.David Bowie-I’m Deranged
Funny how secrets travel, in a movie where the only certainty is that Dick Laurent is dead and we’re trapped on the Lost Highway.
