Whats your best movie soundtrack(s)?
Angel by sarah mclachlan in city of angels(foreign) and Treasure by kate henshaw in a million tears(local) are my favourites.

My all time favorite music track is the 21 guns, The lyrics of that song is just so amazing,

eye of the tiger soundtrack for rocky

iice:

Hard to say. Really love scores and songs.

For the moment though, top of my list is Prologue/The Healing ~ James Newton Howard (The Lady in the water)
Followed closely by Road to Perdition ~ Thomas Newman (Road to Perdition)
I also love Angel and Iris (City of Angels) as well as Hero by Chad Kroeger and Josey Scott (Spiderman)

Frankly i could go on and on but let me limit myself

I thought i was the only one that likes "angel" in city of angels. It was perfect for that scene. I still replay that scene three to four times before i continue with the rest of the movie.

I'll say movie so close soundtrack so close i just love d song and alice in wonderland soundtrack alice underground

Naija movie-Tango with me
l love, love the soundtrack-Ebisan=Suru

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly (Original Soundtrack) by Ennio Morricone

Mehn those "kingdom of heaven" soundtracks are still classics any day. Another classic is the berwoulf animation "hero has come". I think our very own modenine used it in one of his album.the chorales on "borgias" are still blood chillers too

Gladiator by Hans Zimmer

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly (Original Soundtrack) by Ennio Morricone

simply d best

Everything in "August Rush" just softens me up., till date. i am a sucker for soundtracks/scores in movies. enjoy them better, i loose a tear or two in some really touchy scenes purely as a result of the blend of visuals and audio,

Doff my heart for Hans ZImmer, that guy stands out. 2 all time best Hans Zimmer "muziqed" flicks r the holiday(Jude Law, jack black winslet & diaz, brilliant) and the dark night.

Lord of the ring part 1. I love the solemn soundtrack

Enya 'Now that we are free' (Gladiator)

Epic:
GUNS OF NAVARONE,       music by Dimitri Tiomkin.
THE THORN BIRDS,               ,,       ,,   Henry  Manchini
GONE WITH THE WIND,         ,,      ,,    Max Steiner

Be Prepared-Disney(Lion King)
I See You-Leona Lewis(Avatar)
Love Before Time-Coco Lee(Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)
The Lord is My Shepherd-Whitney Houston(Preacher's Wife)
etc

I agree with the posts above- that zimmer guy,enya and eScala are too good on any movie they touch. I believe eScala worked on "kingdom of heaven"

My favourite soundtracks are :
Gladiator
Lord of the Rings
Pirates of the carribean 1,2&4
The Last Don
The Rock
Transformers
