Most involving and thrilling moviemusic?

Here's two:

-"Such a Long Journey", Jonathan Goldsmith (Red Sky LTD)

-"Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon", Tan Dun -w- Yo-Yo Ma (Sony)

You should also try to rent "SALJ" on DVD/VHS.

Like everything except the title track on "CTHD".

Well--I'm not sure it makes most involving and thrilling, but I like Danny Elfman soundtracks. This is kind of one of those guilty pleasures, but in truth this guy really captures the feel (usually dark mind you) but music is to inspire and bring out the emotion that the visual is trying to protray. I think Elfman really hits it on just about everything he's done.

IMO it's defenitely Sakamoto's soundtrack for Bertolucci's "The Sheltering Sky".

Try Men in Black II soundtrack (second movie not the first) by Danny Elfman. It is an orchestral tour de force, much better than even Mr. Elfman's many other soundtracks. Sonic and recording on CD are excellent.

I just bought Men in Black II from Danny Elman ofcourse and so thanks "Cjfrbw" or whatever your name is! Great soundtrack! wow! And now guys: this great soundtrack gave me an appetite for more soundtracks. Please fill in!
