My favorite is the soundtrack from Gettysburg. I used to listen to it a lot for motivation when I was wearing out the gym's NordicTrack a few years ago, before I started listening to audiobooks, instead.

I confess I'm not much into soundtracks - although in the past I have owned copies of The Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, and Godspell.

Take out soundtracks from movie musicals, and I would go with:

Not a great movie, but a fantastic score: Backdraft.

Score that always makes me tear up: Dances With Wolves.

I love The Lion King soundtrack, and on a roadtrip, somehow Top Gun always makes it into the rotation, if I'm not listening to a book.

Hands down: Once Upon a Time in America and after that, any other soundtrack by Ennio Morricone.

I also have Sleepless in Seattle - You've Got Mail - Dirty Dancing - Titanic - Forrest Gump- Lawrenceof Arabia - Dr. Zivago - The Sound of Mucus and many more.

Did I mention that I love soundtracks? :lol:

I loved The Lion King soundtrack.

My favorite, though, remains Purple Rain.

I'll go for The Commitments and Elizabethtown.

I'm not usually much on soundtracks but I went out and bought those and listen to them all the time.

I used to have Queen's Logic but I seem to have lost that. Slightly unusual in that I never saw the movie but I like the songs.

For jukebox soundtracks, I'd go with Forrest Gump. As much as I hate the movie, the soundtrack is fantastic. Good Morning Vietnam is a close second.

For originals, I absolutely love the soundtrack to Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

And I second Amadeus.

I'm so glad you didn't ask about Broadway...it would be soooooo hard to choose between Wicked, Avenue Q, Rent, Ragtime, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and Les Miserables (and probably 20 or 30 others). But if Woody Allen held a gub to my head, I'd go with Ragtime.

I was going through albums as we clean out TLAF's house (although it will probably not go on the market now until the spring).

I found a couple of wonderful multi-album sets I'd forgotten about. Both came out YEARS ago in conjunction with Warner Brothers' 75th anniversary.

One was all Warner Brothers musicals -- the Ruby Keeler-Dick Powell-Joan Blondell things with 100 beautiful Busby Berkeley chorines in weird and wonderful kalidescope shapes.

The other was non-muscial soundtracks and has all this splendid Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Max Steiner scores for Errol Flynn movies and the like.

Among CDs, I love both Sleepless in Seattle and When Harry Met Sally.


NOTE: For those who do not know, TLAF = The Lovely Ann Ferrante, my mom.

Movie soundtrack

2001: A Space Odyssey for best use of previously written music.
For contemporary music, can't beat To Live and Die in L.A. (mostly by Wang Chung)

I happen to like listening to the three CDs from Lord of The Rings. I can envision the movie (since I have seen them so many times) as the music is playing.

One of my guilty pleasures, My Cousin Vinny.

I too love the Ennio Morricone soundtracks and wish I still had them -- except I still wouldn't have them, they were LPs.

One of these days I'll track them down on a CD.
