what are your favorite movie soundtracks.

John Williams is great:

Star wars, Indiana Jones, Clone Encounters, etc.

John Barry has been mentioned, my fav being Dances with Wolves

Vangelis has some great ones with Blade Runner being my top choice.

For some more modern and subdued ambient works, almost anything by Philip Glass works or Cliff Martinez. Martinez has modern classics with Solaris, Traffic and the recent Drive soundtracks at the top of the pops.

Some sleepers are the Crow composed by Graham Ravel, Waterworld, Signs and the recent Game of Thrones.

I can list more if desired.

Black Hawk Down

Another vote for "Bladerunner". Also like the track from "The Godfather". The original Bond films too; a tad (?!) cheesy but fun.

See if you can find one from the film, "Mike's Murder"; good Joe Jackson track from that.

Not necessarily a favorite of mine but worth considering, "2001: A Space Odyssey" (funny how time flies).

I watched Hangover 2 on a flight after a lot of wine and thought is was a brilliant movie with a great soundtrack. I saw about 5 minutes of the very same movie a few months later and all i can say is you need a LOT of wine.

Lawrence of Arabia
Bridge on the River Kwai
Doctor Zhivago
High Noon

My favorites.
