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.

The soundtrack that Richard Thompson did for the "bear guy"

"Almost Famous"
I am not a movie fan but David Lynch has the same taste in music as I. 
1492 by Vangelis is my favorite Vangelis effort
The Killing Fields by Tangerine Dream
Body Love, vol. 1 & 2 by Klaus Schulze: never watched the movie (some German porn according to Google) but love the music
Gladiator with Lisa Gerrard wailing finally pushed my favorite band, Dead Can Dance, into the mainstream



John Carpenters "Vampires" has an excellent soundtrack. Really good stuff.....

"The Hot Spot"  Nice!

"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" 2013 Soundtrack is pretty darn good too....
