What's your Favorite Movie Soundtrack??

[MaulFan]

I know people love some of these and deserve to mention them, but listing star wars, lotr, etc for the 15th time on the list doesn't fill me in on any new stuff to look into. I hate that about these lists most everyone echos each other.

Well if you're looking for new stuff, I'd suggest starting a recommendations thread or something, with a post your favorites, there's bound to be repetition.

I'll have to listen more closely to the Ratatouille music next time I see that. Thanks for the recommendations.

 

[Balsquat]

Man on Fire
Leon ( or the professional )
Jurassic Park
The Dark Knight
Aliens
Alien Ressurection


Favorites anyway but theres many more I like

Man on Fire!
I heard the soundtrack is absolutely awesome!
Whats on it?

Well, from the ones that were not mentioned here:

The Village and Lady in the Water are two beautiful soundtracks by James Newton Howard

El Cid by Miklos Rozsa is a superb epic score. I recommend the three disc re-recording released by Tadlow Music ( https://www.pragueorchestras.com/elcid.htm) - great performance and sound quality.

Cherry 2000 is a short but fun to listen to western-sci fi score by Basil Poledouris.

Some of the less known Williams scores like The Witches of Eastwick or A.I. are among my favourites.

Someone already mentioned Ratatouille but I'll recomend it again.

 

[Gutz]

The Beach (Score), The Bourne Trilogy, The Pride and Prejudice (Desplat), Face/Off, The Dark City, The Crow 1,2...the list goes on.

Assault On Precinct 13 by John Carpenter
Dirty Harry and Enter the Dragon by Lalo Schifrin
The Insider by Lisa Gerrard and Pieter Bourke
The Mist by Mark Isham
Transformers by Steve Jablonsky
The Strangers by Tomandandy

Unbreakable
The Island
Romeo and Juliet - most recent one (the actual score)

Theres some really emotionally stuff on it.
You have to be really thinking about the movie though.
My favorite track has to be the last.
This one.

I bought the soundtrack after watching the movie instantly.
Its very powerful. Ecspecially from 03:00 + .

4:47 is probably my favorite part but you have to listen to the whole thing really.

This is my fave from Leon...

Nobody loves The Mummy Returns score as much as I do.

 

[abadguy]

Actual soundtrack with songs...definitely The Crow soundtrack! I've had that for over 10 years now. NIN, my first exposure to The Cure, STP, Rage Against the Machine!

As far as musical scores...I have the Lost soundtracks, X-Files and Millennium, but my favorite is Raiders of the Lost Ark.

 

[CelticPredator]

We're talkin music scores here.

They are also called soundtracks. Or Original Soundtracks.

 

[Gutz]

Bicentennial Man James Horner, Spider-Man 3 (not available on CD), Hellboy, PREDATOR (duh), Batman Returns, Commando, Robocop, Starship Troopers, A.I. and

HELLRAISER by Christopher Young.

 

[Darthrazz]

I know I started this thread and it's about movies, but the Hulk TV series theme is damn good too.

 

[Kratos]

I love the Fellowship of the Ring Soundtrack and the Braveheart Soundtracks

 

[manowar]

My Favorite Soundtrack is

The Witches Of Eastwick (also my favorite Movie)

 

[EVILFACE]

How could I forget

I'd love for some official scores to be released. I have some fan spliced ones and the Part 7 and 8 scores, but they don't compare to the Harry Manfredini music.
