Movie Soundtracks

i really really really like movie soundtracks. the good ones, anyway.

a few of you have probably purchased or at least listened to the Leon: The Professional soundtrack (Eric Serra is a genius, he's done a LOT of work for Luc besson), the Saving Private Ryan soundtrack, the Road to Perdition soundtrack (Thomas Newman is another genius, he did the plastic bag theme for American Beauty), and of course many of us know Harry Gregson-Williams' work on the Metal Gear Solid tracks.

so... yeah. the ones i listed are my favorites. and they're all fabulous and awesome, indisputably.

does anybody else know similarly-awesome soundtracks i could look into? christmas gifts for myself <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    He composed:
    1. Gladiator
    2. Crimson Tide
    3. The Rock

    Just to say that this piece has been retaken by the finnish group Nightwish who has it on their concert DVD/CD. It's of course really good.

    Lucky finns, good connections (the other day I saw this guy with FOUR of latency. That's less than me on my LAN), great chicks and great music bands. I know I'd go there if I spoke a single word of it


    Oh, and I agree with Agent. Requiem music = owns.

    big up da john williams massive.. uhh... or somthing.

    on the subject of Requiem, I cant stand that bloody Kronos Quartet track, it must be technically the most annoying boring melody ever.

    Dancer in the Dark is bjork, yay. (i think thom yorke may also appear in the soundtrack version of one song, even though he wasnt in the films version, hes in one of the versions anyway.)

    dont really know many pumping action soundtracks, sorry, just wanted to comment/**** at other peoples answers <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'd suggest the Matrix: Reloaded soundtrack. Two disks of some pretty nice stuff; first one contains Linkin Park, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Oakenfold, among others, while the second disk contains all of the orchestral stuff done for the movie.

    I actually liked a lot of the music from Amelie.

    The artist was Yann Tiersen if I'm not mistaken; a lot of neat tricks with the piano.

    Vagrant Story soundtrack. Get it. The best game music I can remember.

    Vagrant Story is also one of the best psx games around, so if you're looking for hours of cheap quality entertainment, just go for VS. It won't let you down.

    That should be enough.

    Agent, The Kronos Quartet did all of Requiem's soundtrack. I think your referring specifically to the piece Winter or Summer Overture, which I have playing right now.
