Best Movie Soundtracks

I personally liked the following soundtracks

The Queen of the Damned
Good Morning Vietnam
The Lost Boys
Dirty Dancing
Flashdance
Pretty Women
and finally Speed

I'm not sure if I would call it a soundtrack, more of a musically but Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds". The movie/s I found rather disappointing but I love this album

Clark Kent knows what he's talking about! John Williams is the MAN when it comes to soundtracks! He's done over 186 of them. He is the reason we have the theme to Indiana Jones, Jaws, and ALL of the Star Wars movies. You have to give props to him. E.T., Jurassic Park, Pearl Harbor and The Patriot, all thanks to John Williams. Hans Zimmer is also very good, he has done Crinson Tide, The Rock, Black Hawk Down and Gladiator. All very powerful. The last one I'll mention is James Horner: Braveheart Titanic (crap of a movie, but good soundtrack), Legends of the Fall, and Glory. Soundtracks are so awesome to listen to! Moulin Rouge and Braveheart are two of my all-time favorites.

Sorry I have such a long post!

Terminator 2 Judgment Day

Brad Fiedel composed the music in that movie very well. The main title in Terminator 2 is excellent and the T-1000 song is just incredible. You got to love it when you see the T-1000 in T2 because you know that cool song is going to start to play.

Are we talking score or soundtrack here?

I think of soundtrack as the songs, could be any songs, that were used in the movie like say for example American Graffiti.

Score I think of as music written and inspired by the film itself, say for instance the aforementioned The Last of the Mohicans.

For score, I would have to say Mulholland Drive, as Angelo Baldamenti's work on this film is just amazing. Kind of minimal synth stuff like he usually does but it just moves me in so many ways through-out the film that it came to mind immediately when I saw this topic. Especially the track Love Theme. The Winky's donuts scene also comes to mind as it's just this visceral grinding synth that builds and builds and just gets under your skin!

For soundtrack, There are many that come to mind but I would have to choose Donnie Darko just because I saw it recently and I love that film. The score is great here as well (I am still wondering where I can get a copy of the theatre scene music, which just doesn't exist on a recording outside of the film as far as I can find.)

Honorable Mention goes to Mohicans as the score is stellar in this film.

I am giving rep for this topic as well, because music in movies isn't talked about enough
