What are your favourite movie soundtracks?

What are some of your favourite movie soundtracks (and optionally, why)?

I have a lot, but I'll start with the march from Raiders of the Lost Ark. My parents used to get cassette tapes from the library to play on the long drives to the cottage when I was a kid. There was an album "Best of John Williams and the Boston Pops Orchestra" and that was one of my favourites. I probably heard the Indiana Jones theme before I even saw any of the movies. It was so much fun to listen to!

Lots...

• Brave (an absolutely underrated film and soundtrack in my personal opinion)
• Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (well worth checking out if you're a world cinema geek)
• The Greatest Showman (definitely an unsurprising choice when you think of it)
• Anything composed by Hans Zimmer (especially Inception and Interstellar)
• The Middle-Earth saga (though the films themselves aren't entirely my cup of tea)
• Any Studio Ghibli film (especially My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away)
• Star Wars (though again, I'm not as fussed with the films as I am with their music)

Brave (an absolutely underrated film and soundtrack in my personal opinion)

I agree with this. Brave is a great movie - kids & adults too. That is one of my favorite soundtracks. My first intro to Julie Fowlis.

My other favorite soundtracks are:
- Gladiator. Fun fact. Did you know 'Now We Are Free' is not in any real language at all?
- Braveheart. I liked 'For the Love of a Princess' before CW covered it. I think Tara plays it better than the original. 
Probably because these are 2 of my favorite movies, in general.

Lots of Disney.
O brother where art thou
Bounce
Shrek.

no...😁 Are you kidding me! \\ *

Haha! You're funny! 

Sad to admit, I didn't know for the longest time. I had to Google it.

Same as the chorus for "Harry's Game". (Asked about it in Name That Tune.) I had to Google it.
