 | The Mission: Original Soundtrack From The Motion Picture by Ennio Morricone
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $3.94 When this movie came out in 1986, I was immediately drawn to the beautiful music. To this day, it remains my favorite soundtrack.
|
 | The Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring (The Complete Recordings)
Buy new: $53.99 / Used from: $42.00 OK, after "The Mission", this is a VERY close second. I love Howard Shore's score to "The Fellowship of the Ring". Outstanding music and worth every penny.
|
 | The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers (The Complete Recordings) by Howard Shore and The London Philharmonic Orchestra
Buy new: $71.99 / Used from: $61.90 An amazing score! If you're a big fan of the movie, this is a must have.
|
 | The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (The Complete Recordings)
Buy new: $69.99 The culmination of an outrageously-beautiful and compelling score. Howard Shore is a genious!
|
 | Dances with Wolves
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.57 I listen to this score often. John Barry creates some very tender and emotional moments here.
|
 | The Last Of The Mohicans: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Trevor Jones
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $6.33 This is AWESOME! Highly recommended.
|
 | Jurassic Park: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by John Williams
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $1.44 This is my favorite John William's score (even better than Star Wars, in my opinion).
|
 | The Patriot: Original Motion Picture Score (2000 Film) by John Williams
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $6.74 A great soundtrack by J. Williams. Some cues of this score are the most beautiful orchestra music that I've ever heard. It's just stunning in places.
|
 | Hook: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by John Williams
Buy used from: $11.11 Youthful,light, and just plain fun! Yet another example when the music is better than the movie.
|
 | Finding Neverland
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $6.00 This man completely deserved the Oscar for this music. It's so dreamlike and juvenile! It fit the movie perfectly.
|
 | Peter Pan by James Newton Howard
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $12.59 A whimsical look at Neverland. Good music, but not quite as good as "Hook" and "Finding Neverland". James Newton Howard is an amazing composer!
|
 | Batman: Original Motion Picture Score by Danny Elfman
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.74 The original soundtrack is incredible. Danny Elfman proves he belongs with the best of them! Highly recommended.
|
 | Batman Begins
Buy used from: $10.99 This was the first Hans Zimmer soundtrack that I bought and I quickly became a huge fan. Dark yet beautiful and stirring music.
|
 | Gladiator
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $3.82 Another Hans Zimmer classic. I love the vocals mixed with the ancient-sounding instruments.
|
 | Glory: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by James Horner
Buy new: $11.97 / Used from: $5.66 Rousing army music at its best!
|
 | Out Of Africa: Music From The Motion Picture Soundtrack
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $3.49 A beautiful soundtrack, even though it's a bit short and could have been expanded.
|
 | Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Buy new: $11.97 / Used from: $7.49 The worst of the three Pirate movies (in part, due to the horrible remix at the end), but still fun to listen to.
|
 | Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl
Buy new: $11.97 / Used from: $7.00 A very fun and entertaining soundtrack!
|
 | Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $7.97 In my opinion, the 3rd pirate soundtrack is the most complex and beautiful of all three (although I don't think the 3rd movie is the best). I highly recommend this score if you only want to buy one Pirate CD. Hans Zimmer (and company) are amazing.
|
 | The Civil War - Traditional American Songs And Instrumental Music Featured In The Film By Ken Burns: Original Soundtrack Recording
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $7.95 There are some great period pieces here.
|
 | Gettysburg: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

|
 | Pearl Harbor by Martin Tillman
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.75 The movie was so-so, but the music score is incredible. (I can take or leave the Faith Hill song).
|
 | The Da Vinci Code
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.55 Again, the movie wasn't so great, but the music is so interesting! I love this one.
|
 | King Kong: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $5.07 There is something about this soundtrack that is so special. While the really heavy pieces are complex and enjoyable, the slower pieces are simply stunning.
|
 | The Village
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $7.50 I love the violin work on this CD.
|
 | Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World by Christopher Gordon
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $3.00 This soundtrack has a great mix of modern drumming with classic string work. I REALLY love this one.
|
 | Pride & Prejudice by Caroline Dale
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $11.65 My daughter introduced me to this CD and it's one of my favorite movie sountracks when I want to totally relax. Very beautiful.
|
 | While You Were Sleeping: Original Motion Picture Score by Randy Edelman
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $4.78 Sweet and a bit jazzy, not unlike the movie.
|
 | Rocky: Original Motion Picture Score by Bill Conti
Buy used from: $2.94 The first movie sountrack I ever owned (on vinyl) and this music still stirs me. "Philadelphia Morning" is awesome.
|
 | The Mask Of Zorro: Music From The Motion Picture by James Horner
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $3.96 The Spanish/tap dancing sounds are unique. I love the score, but I skip the vocal by Marc Anthony and his duet partner.
|
 | Empire Of The Sun: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by John Williams
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.69 John Williams does it again! I love this CD.
|
 | Schindler's List: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by John Williams
