Post subject:  soundtracks
I love listening to soundtracks, in fact, the majority of the music on my computer is soundtracks. What's everybody's favourite composer/soundtracks? I must say that John Williams is probably the greatest composer of our time--not just for writing film music, but for anything--plus I like Howard Shore and the music from The Shadowlands, Pride and Prejudice, and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Ooh, vikingmaiden, which P&P soundtrack is it? I liked the music on both movies.

I don't have that many soundracks, but of course I have all 3 LOTR. I have the Shrek sountrack as well, which is fun.

I found the P & P soundtrack for the recent film on the internet (actually, the official website, of all places) and I really, really like it. But then, it's very classical, and I like classial music.

I've also got LOTR, both Shrek, The Blue Planet, The Princess Bride, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and a collection (I believe it's called John Williams Plays the Movies - the guitar player, not the composer) and it's got things like "A kiss from a Rose", "Everything I do" and "The Mission"... and I think I have stuff from the Lizzie McGuire Movie - don't ask me why, because I've never even seen it.

I like soundtracks (I want the King Arthur one!), but I'm no where near as obsessive as Erulissë - that's one impressive list! :)

The King Arthur soundtrack is simply breathtaking! I'm listening to a song from it right now :) Just to clarify: I do not own all those soundtracks on actual CDs (I have maybe 30 or so soundtrack CDs) most are downloads from the Internet.

Oh my god. I'm addicted to soundtracks! On my Launch Cast radio station - that's basically all it is. When I started learning more about music and stuff I became more interested in the music in movies. I've got SO many, and not enough! I couldn't list them all . . . most of you have said the majority of composers.

The old one. I love all that classical sounding piano music :) I haven't listened to the newer version's yet, but I'm sure that's a good one too.

So far I have the 3 LotR, Star Wars (PM, AotC, RotS), Pirates of the Caribbean, Master & Commander, Van Helsing, Phantom of the Opera.

I'm getting the Kingdom of Heaven one soon and hopefully the Pride and Prejudice. And I'm pretty sure Narnia will be amazing too. : )

I'm listening to the Revenge of the Sith Soundtrack and I realized that I REALLY REALLY need to go out and buy all the Star Wars soundtracks. I mean seriously, they're all AMAZING. Yay for John Williams! If nothing else, I need THIS one, because it's so powerful. :blush: I'm not too sure about Episode II's soundtrack - a little too corny....but everything else! God, I LOVE Star Wars...
*dances around conducting like John Williams*

Yes, I also like PotC's soundtrack. Anyone know who composed the score to 'The Last Emperor'? That's a great soundtrack too--a lot of beautiful, traditional-sounding Chinese music.
