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 _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

My vote goes to Howard Shore's score for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Link to original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SBQvd6vY9s And while it's not a score to a movie, I also love Jeremy Soule's score for the older Icewind Dale PC game. Link to original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSKGsmjbq2w Jeremy Soule would go on to do the score for Skyrim, another outstanding video game score.

Off the top of my head... Band of Brothers The Pacific Mr. Holland's Opus - An American Symphony Gladiator Braveheart GWTW "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 | |||

I kind of liked Woodstock, too. But the score WAS the movie. Or vice-versa. 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. NRA Benefactor/Patriot Member | |||

Crimson Tide Hunt for Red October Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back Star Wars: Phantom Menace Jurassic Park Saving Private Ryan E.T. The Rock Pacific Rim The Lord of the Rings The Incredibles Midnight Special (but I’m biased because a friend of mine wrote for that score) I could go on and on...I love film scores...and I’m fortunate to have conducted many of these in concert. | |||

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.

+1 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. | |||
