| Do you have a favorite or more than just one soundtrack you love? Does it hold up as a stand alone or is it excellent only when with the film?
As for me I love the soundtrack from Drunken Master II. I listen to it fairly often when not watching the movie | Cinema!

| #2 | For original score, it's tough to beat stuff like Basil Poledouris' score for Conan the Barbarian or Morricone's Ecstasy of Gold (TGTBATU). They are mightily impressive.
As for compilation soundtracks, I am of the opinion that the first Crow movie has one of the best ever assembled. Rollins, Pantera, Rage against the Machine, NIN, Stone Temple Pilots, The Cure, Helmet etc... | TheDenizen

| #6 | Cinema, the soundtrack for the Crow and the score for Conan are both available on CD. Not sure about Morricone's TGTBATU score, but I would imagine that's available too. | TheDenizen

| #7 | Rebooted. A random few of my favorite original film scores in totally random order...
"North By Northwest" and "Psycho" by Bernard Herrmann
"A Shock To The System" by Gary Chang with the Turtle Island String Quartet
"Cinema Paradiso" by Morricone
"Shawshawnk Redemption" and "Unstrung Heroes" by Thomas Newman, and his old 80s stuff was classic stuff too, like "Real Genius"
"Narrow Margin" by Bruce Broughton
"The Hitcher" and "The Beast" by Mark Isham
"Miracle Mile" by Tangerine Dream, classic 80s synth stuff (and an underappreciated film too IMO)
My head is swimming, I don't even know where to go from here. I LOVE film music, I think it's most often been the most enjoyable, creative, effective music made in modern times. | Choco

| #8 | All y'all don't know good music when you heard it, son. J/K
Drats I was gonna due a Top five best original score music thing-a-ma-bob but Cinema! has out-witted me. Curses. }:|
Well I'll do one regardless but my favorite track that's not original and done by a band is "Goodbye Horses" By Q Lazzurous from "Silence of the Lambs".
Original score, BY FAR is the "Halloween Theme Song" from Halloween By John Carpenter. Then song always gets me choked up in tears everytime I hear it. That's when I know a song is good is if my reactions are numb and my minds is euphoric and I'm crying like a ninny. | XslaveX

| #9 | I was trying to keep this within reason :) but everyone else is doing multiples however when I added up my list I was up to 62 and growing....
Perhaps this was not a good question.
(Choco I saw the film and have the soundtrack "Miracle Mile" for Tangerine Dream.) | Cinema!

| #11 | Oh, and Slave, yes. Halloween? Brilliant. I love all Carpenter's scores, but that's clearly his most iconic. | Choco

| #12 | Cinema!, were you talking about Soundtrack albums in particular?
If so, I like the Natural Born Killers soundtrack the most with NIN, Leonard Cohen mostly. Hated the movie however cuz I'll hate anything directed by Oliver Stone, period.
I also liked the Conan The Barbarian soundtrack as well, mostly anything by John Carpenter like Assault on Precient 13 theme, Escape from N.Y., Halloween or Big Trouble in Little China.
I like a number of Italian horror music as well. | XslaveX
