I am not talking about movie scores like Top Gun, Dirty Dancing, Officer and a Gentleman or Footloose – these are conglomerations of other songs by various artists. I am looking for original movie scores. Some of my favorites to listen to in no order:

The Avengers
Avatar
Conan the Barbarian
Jurassic Park
The Mummy Returns
True Lies
Thor
Titanic

My vote goes to Howard Shore's score for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

And while it's not a score to a movie, I also love Jeremy Soule's score for the older Icewind Dale PC game.

Jeremy Soule would go on to do the score for Skyrim, another outstanding video game score.

"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Honorable mention to Koyaanisqatsi. Soundtrack by Philip Glass




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

I kind of liked Woodstock, too. But the score WAS the movie. Or vice-versa.

The Magnificent 7. The Godfather. But my all time favorite is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Ennio Morricone was one talented composer.

Highly underrated, but the Aliens soundtrack deserves a mention.

I know it’s not what you are really looking for but......

O Brother Where Art Thou?

Is one of my favorites. Lots of great back ground music.

Edit to add: I also am partial to Isao Tomita's "Snowflakes are Dancing" primarily because of Arabesque No. 1 being the soundtrack to "Jack Horkheimer: Star Hustler/Star Gazer". I have a soft spot for the era of PBS when it wasn't quite so rabidly liberal; i.e., my formative years.
