Movie Soundtracks worth buying

What are some of your favorite soundtracks and scores?

I personally like the soundtrack to Resevoir Dogs better than the movie.

As for scores, I'm a fan of Henry Mancini's "Moon River" and the score to Braveheart.

Fifth Element Soundtrack is UNSTOPPABLE IMHO.
Return of the Living Dead - Great Goth Punk.
The first two Hellraiser Scores. And the one done by Coil if you can find it!
Until the End of the World Sndtrk.

There's probably more but I can't think of more right now.; ▶ Reply to This

I was able to download it, but I would never be able to remember the name of the song off hand. (I can try to find the name if anyone is interested.); ▶ Reply to This

I have a bunch of anime scores (called BGM's - BackGround Music) that I picked up in college. I listen to AKIRA and URUSEI YATSURA Movie 2 all the time.

I think I'm going to slurge this weekend and order both VERTIGO discs off Amazon this weekend. I've been debating about doing so for a while.; ▶ Reply to This

Another good one is from the movie "Singles".; ▶ Reply to This

Saw a few other people from my showing of the movie at the record store too which was pretty funny. I also have the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, 'cause I was on a Tarantino kick at the time, and it's got a great soundtrack as well.

I also have the Fantasia soundtrack, which is suprisingly good driving music :]; ▶ Reply to This
