So then, what`s your favourite movie them/score? I`m influenced to write this thread after listening to a compilation earlier, and I`m still pretty much undecided. In my opinion some of the scores written for films are by far the best classical music around. So anyway...
My Top 6:- LOTR - Fellowship Gladiator The Green Mile Forrest Gump Star Wars Indiana Jones

Let me just check which CD`s I actually shelled out for...
Blade Runner (Vangelis) never strays far from my CD player so that has to be my fave.
Other soundtracks that I`m impressed by
Heat Sneakers The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Star Wars: Episode V Fifth Element
Basically anything by John Williams, James Horner or Ennio Morricone is always impressive.
For sheer eightiesness I like
Beverly Hills Cop Bill & Ted`s Excellent Adventure Ghostbusters Footloose Top Gun
And for some strange reason, I like the Titan AE soundtrack. Sorry about that. :-)

Anything that used a srong strings/wind section always gets my vote. Braveheart and gladiator always bring a tear to my eye. There are just too many to mention.
But my favourote opening track has to be Jay and silent bob strike back. Apologies to the purists, but that creases me up every time

Ahh, good call ironduke, I loved that soundtrack. Just a pity you can`t buy the full thing on cd though. They said on the dvd commentary that they`d never be able to afford all the rights to each track.
