Soundtracks and Film scores, your favourites


 I love the cinema and some of my favourite albums are from films, TV and shows. There seem two basic variants, a score written for the film and compilations of existing tracks, used in the film. So what are your favourites? I'll start.

 Original scores:

  Hard to avoid Hans Zimmer and why would you want to.

   Hans Zimmer, "The thin red line"   Not his best known, but a great score.

   Honourable mention:

    Korngold, "The Sea Hawk"

Compilation scores:

   "Dead man walking" A really great film too.

    Honourable mentions:

      "Philadelphia"

      "The Sopranos" That's the original from the first series

 I am sure you can all think of better ones.

I've only seen it available as a download, but the final season of "The Leftovers" had a killer soundtrack.

Not certain about the previous seasons.

"Police" - the film score was the only vinyl recording of Gorecki's Symphony of Sorrowful Songs (#3). One of the most important pieces of modern, serious music, IMO.

"Rocky Horror", a guilty pleasure.

Some great ideas here. I agree with

Paris Texas

The Mission

Gladiator

Crouching Tiger

A lot of the others are new to me, next call Amazon.
