David-West -> RE: Film scores/soundtracks..what're your favorites? (7/3/2007 4:56:59 AM)

I don't even know if I could pick a favorite. Here's all the soundtracks that I own:
Batman Begins
Braveheart
Dinosaur
Halo: Combat Evolved
Halo 2 Volumes 1 & 2 (not a movie, but still an excellent soundtrack)
Forrest Gump (The original music, not all the songs used in the movie)
All 3 Lord of the Rings soundtracks
Mission: Impossible: III
All three Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks
Serenity
The Bourne Identity
The Chronicles of Narnia
The Island (I only own the track "My Name is Lincoln", which is one of the most powerful tracks I've ever heard.
The Postman
Wyatt Earp
Out of all of those, I'd say that Wyatt Earp, The Postman, and the POTC soundtracks ("Dead Man's Chest" and "At World's End" in particular) are the most solid soundtracks overall. The other soundtracks have songs that I normally skip, and I rarely listen through the entire thing. Those soundtracks, however, have very few lulls in the music. The first half of the Wyatt Earp soundtrack is one of the best listening experiences you'll ever have. James Newton Howard is easily my favorite composer. I own 4 of his soundtracks and have a bunch more on my to-get list.
For those of you who really like movie soundtracks, you should look into the trailer music composed by companies like X-Ray Dog, Immediate Music, and Brand X music. There's some incredible stuff in there.
