Favorite Movie Soundtracks

[Tui]

When I watch a movie, one of the first things I notice is the soundtrack, if the soundtrack isn't good, then I really can't like the movie as much. My first comment walking out of lord of the rings wasnt, "wow what a great movie!" it was "man, I gotta get that soundtrack" and ever since that I have loved Movie Soundtracks. What are your favorites?

Here is a list of mine from memory

Pirates of the Caribbean
All 3 Lord of the Rings
A Beautiful Mind
Lemony Snicket
Anything by Danny Elfman
Finding Neverland
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Kill Bill Vol.1 and 2

There's others but I just cant think of them right now.

[J.B.Opie]

I agree with your list Tui. I'll add:

Anything by John Williams, Alan Silvestri, and Bernard Herrmann.

Harry Potter 3-Awesome soundtrack

[Tui]

To this day "The Empire Strikes Back" is my most favorite soundtrack ever.

I saw that soundtrack being sold in the Warehouse (NZ equivalent of Target or Wal-mart) for 9.99, pretty cheap. Especially if you figure in the exchange rate, I might by it when I actually have money to indulge myself.

Ennio Morricone's scores to The Good the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in America, Howard Shore's LOTR trilogy of scores, Maurice Jarre's Lawrence of Arabia, John Williams various scores, Danny Elfman's Nightmare Before Christmas, Yann Tiersen's Amelie, MANY MORE

For ten bucks....go for it (but only if they've reproduced it with all four sides of music that were released in 1980). It really is the crown jewel of soundtracks.
