movie soundtracks

hello, i thought it would be great to have a thread talking about movie soundtracks, what ones you like, the ones you dislike, and also if you have any questions about soundtracks, which i do. so to start it off i have found a genre of music that i really like. i call it epic-classical but you really only hear any of it in movies. some examples are Carl Orffs - Carmina Burmina (or something like that) or many song from the conan the barbarian soundtrack. probably the best example you all have probably heard of is John Williams - Duel of Fates for starwars episode one. now my question is does any one know of other songs that would fit into this type of music? the lord of the rings soundtracks have some good ones and i have heard a lot of them in commercials but i havent found them any where. any one know more?

i love the music in requiem for a dream, donnie darko, sweet hereafter, braveheart, american beauty, glory, signs.

ya i actually have requiem for a dream (two towers remix) and brave heart and glory, but i will have to check those others out thanks. also would you know about the song that they play for the commercial for the PS2 game medal of honor? that sounds like a pretty sweet song.

Ameliè soundtrack

The Rock
Black Hawk Down'

1) Armageddon (that music is amazing!!!)

2) Bad Boys

3) Enemy of the State

4) Unbreakable

5) Pearl Harbor

6) Gladiator

7) Face/Off

8) Reindeer Games/ Deception

9) The Rock

Armageddon had a great soundtracK!

Pulp Fiction was a cool soundtrack.

ya john williams and howard shore have some great stuff. i just purchased the matrix 2 soundtrack and x-men 2 score, so i will let you all know how they are once i get a chance to listen to them.

LOTR and STAR WARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! except the old ones haven't gotten around to them yet

well heres a word of warning. i am sure some people will like it but i was severly dissapointed in the matrix soundtrack. avoid that purchase if you can.

One of my alltime favorite soundtrack is Gladiator. Hans zimmer and Lisa Gerard were amazing together. Titanic is also one of the best. Sissels voice is amazing.
Trevor rabin has also done goog with Armageddon and American Outlaws, The terminator 2 theme is perfect.
The tomb Raider soundtrack was laso good

Hans Zimmer is one of the best ever!!

One movie that has an awesome soundtrack, but doesn't really have an original score is, 'Trainspotting.'

Wasn't Hans Zimmer the bad guy in 'Die Hard'?

No, you idiot, Hanz Zimmer is a music composer. Hanz Grueber was the villian in Die Hard.

Hey, wait a minute, aren't you me?
