Favourite Film and TV Soundtracks?

[pictsy]

Threads subject says it all.  What are you favourite Film and TV soundtracks.

I personally think there are some great Film and TV soundtracks, but the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack has always had this strange effect on me.

Especially these scene:

oOooOOoo chills

Mmm....pretty much anything by John Williams.  But for a soundtrack that is made up of existing music, then 'The Business' has a very apt and pretty awesome soundtrack.  Games wise, I always turn off the music.  Well, except in GTA series, where I usually have the rock channel on.....

Ennio Morricone - Once upon a Time in America always sends shivers down my spine.
For a collection of music I have always liked the Kill Bill soundtrack.

Another Williams fan here, as well as Jerry Goldsmith.

You can't beat a bit of Morricone, similarly Vangelis.

I'll listen to any of John Carpenters's scores.

Recent favourites include Daft Punk's Tron:Legacy and of course Paul Leonard-Morgan's fantastic Dredd score.

Ah yes forgot about Daft Punk's Tron...see also M83's soundtrack to Oblivion. Similar but different.

My favourite film soundtracks in no particular order;

Maurice Jarre - Lawrence of Arabia; moving, majestic, enthralling. Stirring stuff indeed.
Ennio Morricone - The Mission, Once Upon a time in the West; his music makes you feel like your soul is ascending to heaven!
Peter Gabriel - The Last Temptation of Christ; brilliant. A really middle eastern flavour, thanks also to a Morrocan group who contributed
Vangelis - Blade Runner; magnificent. Mesmerising. It transports you to Los Angeles circa 2019!
Jerry Goldsmith - Alien; a superb score which makes the experience so enriching
John Williams - The Empire Strikes Back; one of Williams best, the moment when Yoda lifts the X- Wing, the music still sends shivers down my spine!
Pietro Mascagni - Raging Bull; beautiful. Absolutely beautiful, and in stark contrast to the brutal character of La Motta. Scorsese sure knows his music.

Conan the Barbarian (1982) - Basil Poledouris.
The score, probably more than anything else, sets the tone of this film. Simply fantastic.

[Zarjazzer]

The UNtouchables 1987 has some lovely tunes. Still like alot of gerry anderson stuff inspired stuff even the incidental music is just um Fab. Star  wars and a bit of music as harroison ford goes into a tunnel in the fugitive.

[Dandontdare]

I never notice soundtracks unless they are overbearing and intrusive (eg Murray Gold's in dr Who) or have become classics like Star Wars or Superman.

I used to live with a bloke who collected soundtrack albums however - he had hundreds, even from films he'd never seen or didn't like. Always thought this was a weird obsession as he never seemed to play them.

Oh yeah, that Oblivion soundtrack is great!

As for a Basil Poledouris' Robocop score, I've got this release from Intrada and it's a work of genius!
