What's your favourite movie soundtrack?

My all-time favorite soundtrack is "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". I can listen to this over and over, and it simply thrills my soul.

YouTube - Harry Potter: Theme Song (Hedwig's Theme) :love:

Another worthy mention is the soundtrack to Jurassic Park. I still get the chills whenever I hear the theme playing somewhere.

In addition to these and whichever movies I'll inevitably forget to mention, I like the soundtracks for 8 mile, (500) Days of Summer, I'm Not There and Juno.

Uh, and some of the tracks from Dreamgirls. :blush:

(500) Days of Summer
City of Angels
Cold Mountain
Cruel Intentions
Garden State

I'm a fan of Gabriel Yared's simple but lovely instrumentals (hence the 2nd and 3rd on that listing).

I forgot about 500 Days of Summer, that's definitely on the list. Also add Man on Fire and Kill Bill (both volumes I think, although I saw 2 more recently so maybe 1 wasn't as good), they had pretty awesome soundtracks.

Williams is definitely up there for me.

Yann Tiersen has also done some great stuff (Amelie, Goodbye, Lenin!).

You, ma'am, are my kind of people. :heart:

The Fellowship of the Ring

How to Train Your Dragon

Star Trek: First Contact

Jurassic Park

To name but four...

Also add Million Dollar Baby to my list. Clint Eastwood consistently puts together good sountracks but that one is the standout for me.

Into The Wild

Also Hans Zimmer composes some good music for some movies.

I also really like O Brother, Where Art Thou?'s and Blade Runner's soundtracks, and Underworld and John Murphy's soundtrack for Sunshine is pretty good.

John Williams is the man.

A lot that have already been said. Star Wars, obviously. Indiana Jones, LotR trilogy, Tron Legacy.

O' Brother Where Art Thou had a good soundtrack. Jurassic Park as well. Others I'm probably over looking...

Blade Runner by Vangelis: uplifting, nostalgic, furturistic and heartbreaking.

THIS TIMES INFINITY

I wasn't a huge fan of the movie but the soundtrack is incredible.

Others that come to mind: An American Tail, Antz, The Horse Whisperer (and pretty much anything else by Thomas Newman, including Finding Nemo and Wall-E).

Man on Wire
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
The Shawshank Redemption
The Deer Hunter
Lost in Translation
