I love a great film, but I also love me a great soundtrack. The good thing about soundtracks is that they can be great even if the film isn't, so I don't love all these movies, some of them I only like.

I'll be listing only some of my very favorites from each soundtrack.

Enjoy.

I care about your thread Blue Lion.:D My problem is I notice the score while watching a film but rarely remember it long after. There are a few exceptions for me Star Wars and Punch Drunk Love come immediately to mind. I do remember songs more often. That is why of you first few sets, Rocky would be my favorite by far.

Maybe it does, but I honestly didn't pay that much attention to the order. With music it all depends on the mood for me, it's difficult to even compare some of them

12-03-14, 07:54 PM
I love Simon & Garfunkel from The Graduate and Rammstein from Lost Highway. I don't remember that song from Lost Highway, but I'm like Seanc in that I forget a lot of the music used in movies.

The Halloween score is awesome too. That used to be my ringtone but it's not fun to hear that when your home alone. I freaked myself out too much and changed it.
