One of my fav's is Peter Gabriel's "Last Temptation of Christ" soundtrack. I was hoping that the East on NEWS would be like that, but no. | |

Anyone bought this:-
"kingdom of heaven" soundtrack? Some of it is gorgeous. And it is not Zimmer, which makes a change for ridley. I love the first 2 ninja turtles soundtracks. They got some fun house tunes on there like the awesome david morales and cathy dennis track "find the key to your life" and dan hartmans "(thats your) conciousness" Also "land before time" "american tale" "lion king" "black rain" (zimmer again) "oliver and co."  "rocky iv and v" etc.....I got loads.
"forest gump" is odd. Whole collecton of oldies tracks. Oh well.... Where is dirty dancing? I like "hungry eyes" and "shes like the wind". | |

Grease hasn't been recertified since the 80's. Its re-release version for the 20th anniversary of the movie has sold around 5 million copies, according to Nielsen Soundscan. Finally, some are missing there, such as The Sound Of Music. | |
