2001 A Space Odyssey (1968) - who can fault Johann & Richard Strauss?
The Cowboys (1972) - this rousing John Williams theme captures the feel of adventure and old west Americana. I like to listen to this on my way to work - it gets me going!
Superman (1978) - As Director Richard Donner said, "You can hear the name in the song!" I love just about any themes from John Williams.
Star Trek the Motion Picture (1979) - the theme by Jerry Goldsmith was so good that it was adopted by Star Trek the Next Generation (but for my money, the Klingon theme music in the movie was truly epic.)
Batman (1989) - Danny Elfman's score captured the feeling of the Dark Knight perfectly (and was later adopted by Batman the Animated Series). And as far as what Prince's music (which was made for the movie) had to do with Batman remains a mystery to this day.
Glory (1990) - a fantastic score by James Horner that incorporates the Boys Choir of Harlem!
Independence Day (1996) - a truly inspirational theme by David Arnold.
Amistad (1997) - yes, I have a John Williams collection and this is one of my favorite soundtracks off the album! This wonderful theme contains native African harmonies that make for an uplifting listening experience & the music captures the spirit of the film.
