Lord of the Rings is probasbly the one that i listen too more than any other

The Mission always evokes an emotive response

last of the mohicans has its moments

chariots of fire

It was on again yesterday (13th January)

James Horner's "Glory" soundtrack is a great piece of motion picture music.

Just for the battle at the end.

The Mission is one of Morricone's best, just pure beauty tho set with a tragic story.

Anything involiving Vangelis is genius, i was listening to "The Bounty" soundtrack last week and that is still haunting 20 or so years later. Blade Runner speaks for itself.

Morricone's work on John Carpenter's "The Thing" is also another masterpiece. It proved that he could do anything when it came to music and genre.

Again Morricone did master work on "The Untouchables". The list is endless as far as he goes and need I say more about his work on Leone's movies.

But for me my favourite soundtrack right now is Nick Cave's The Proposition. He wrote it also, hot stufff.

Current listening:

Bernard Herrmann - Beneath The 12-Mile Reef
Cliff Martinez - Solaris
Roy Budd - The Black Windmill
Vangelis - Blade Runner
Bernard Herrmann - The Day The Earth Stood Still
Paul Giovanni - The Wicker Man
John Williams - The Long Goodbye

[Pervert]

One day I will spell Bernard Herrmann's name correctly and the shock will kill me.

And somehow, in spite of my best intentions, I always leave a major name out. Morricone should be in the top five of every list of film composers.

[The Last Word]

Adding to what's already been mentioned:

The Music of Candyman (Candyman 1 & 2) - Philip Glass

Rumblefish - Stewart Copeland

Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence - Ryuichi Sakamoto

Prince of Darkness - John Carpenter (an underrated film too)
