Does anyone listen to movie soundtracks?

I’m referring to the instrumental scores that are composed specifically for the movie or TV show (even video games). I love listening to them, even video game soundtracks, but I don’t know anyone else who does, so I thought I’d ask the all knowing forums of GS to see if there are any other weirdos like me. If yes, do you have any favourites?

I remember watching the director’s cut of Troy, and the additional scenes messed up the synchronization of the audio and video (i.e. during the slow part of a battle, the upbeat part of the song would be playing). It annoyed the hell out of me and it was the first time I really started paying attention to how important mus

**Some of my favorites:
**Inception

Ice Age :hehe: Seriously, it’s really good

Is it just me or do soundtracks sound better when you REALLY like the movie too?

Re: Does anyone listen to movie soundtracks?

I listen to those too and there’s nothing weird about it, those who have love for music like listening to these soundtracks. They sound better if you have watched the movies.

here are some of my favorites i found on youtube:

For A Few Dollars More (Theme by Ennio Morricone) - YouTube

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Theme - YouTube

08-Ennio Morricone-Cockeye’s song (1984).wmv - YouTube

Young Guns Soundtrack - YouTube

JAN HAMMER - Miami Vice Theme - YouTube

Re: Does anyone listen to movie soundtracks?

Some of my favourites are, in no particular order: Braveheart, Kung Fu Panda, How To Train Your Dragon, Lord of the Rings.

Ah yes, that’s a famous one. I like it too.

I’ve listened to the Tree of Life soundtrack but I can’t recall any track that stands out to me. It was good though. Love Game of Thrones. And Superman and Starwars is awesome as well. Gotta love John Williams.

Agreed. Finding a good movie with an awesome soundtrack is the best. I like Hans Zimmer as well. Also like John Powell and James Newton Howard. James Horner is good too, but he recycles his own work sometimes.

And animated movies usually have good soundtracks. Check out The Lion King, Kung Fu Panda, How To Train Your Dragon. As for Inception, I love “Mombassa” and “Time”.

Re: Does anyone listen to movie soundtracks?

I haven’t heard Conquest of Paradise. Will check it out. Titanic I’ve heard, and it’s decent, but the song just ruins it.

I’ve heard Ennio Morricone’s tracks and I like them, but my favourite Western theme is “The Magnificent Seven” theme. Love that.

Re: Does anyone listen to movie soundtracks?

Theme music, YES
Sound track NO.

My favorites are James Bond, Superman, Mission Impossible and Star Wars.

Re: Does anyone listen to movie soundtracks?

I loved the soundtrack for the movie "Drive" when I watched it in the theater.

Re: Does anyone listen to movie soundtracks?

Post some favourite **tracks **from your favourite soundtracks. I’m always interested in what people like, and sometimes a single track is awesome, even if the rest of the soundtrack is lackluster. I’ll start.

As mentioned above, The Magnificent Seven theme,

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Sunrise on Lake Pontchartrain, the rest of the soundtrack was ok, but I love this track.

Braveheart - A Gift of a Thistle, it’s really short but I like it. Skip to 0:30

How To Train Your Dragon - Test Drive, honestly this soundtrack should have won at the Oscars over The Social Network. The flying scenes are amazing.
The Lion King - This Land, Screw pixar lol

Iron Man - Driving With The Top Down, first time flying the suit

AR Rahman - Bombay Theme, such a nice track. It was used in Lord of War as well.

Gladiator - Elysium, theme for the afterlife

The Last Samurai - Spectres in the Fog, Not sure what instrument it is, but I love the beginning.

Blood Diamond - Solomon Vandy, Powerful song.

I have a lot more but I think this is good for now.

Re: Does anyone listen to movie soundtracks?

So you just like the main tracks. Fair enough. Those are usually the best. Superman and Star Wars are classics by John Williams. Mission Impossible is also good (Hans Zimmer). I like the song "Injection" from MI2 as well.

Love Black Hawk Down!

I liked the beat that plays when he's driving in the beginning.
