Best Movie Soundtrack

Gotta go with "Gladiator" at present until I give the "C-Tiger,H-Dragon" a longer listen.

Any Morrocone fans: Get "Once Upon A Time In America" (or if not a fan/ you will become one). Not a bad movie either;Sergio Leone/ De Niro. Made in 1983. As good as "they " get.(the duo or the movie) Haunting and captivating themes.

Many of the better soundtracks have already been listed, so I'll just mention a few I like that could be overlooked:
1. "I Want To Live" -- jazz soundtrack by Gerry Mulligan for the movie starring Susan Hayward
2. "Chariots of Fire", with music by Vangelis
3. "'Round Midnight", jazz soundtrack by Dexter Gordon and others jazz greats
4. "Star Wars", soundtrack written by John Williams
5. A personal and sentimental favorite of mine: soundtrack from a 1957-58 Cinerama movie called "Windjammer". A variety of music, mostly vocal, with a strong Caribbean flavor.

Not real big on soundtracks, but "the Horse Whisperer" excellent

Music composed originally & specifically for a movie qualifies, in many opinions, as a "soundtrack"....rather than a collection of artists singing their songs. "Horse Whisperer" is kind of in between, Winoguy17, since I have not heard, for example, Iris Dement perform "Whispering Pines" anywhere else. This collection of songs used for Redford's fine film production is a delight...especially on HDCD...(one of the best realizations of the HDCD subcode to surface)....and I'm pleased that you posted it...RECOMMENDED!
