More a fan of "soundtracks" utilizing the work of classic orchestral film composers.


Being a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock films...



...Psycho




...Vertigo




...North By Northwest

Tension-meister Bernard Herrmann might be my favorite film score composer.


The classic...



...Citizen Kane





...The Day The Earth Stood Still




...A medley of other Bernard Herrmann scores
(Cape Fear, Obsession, Twisted Nerve, The Wrong Man, On Dangerous Ground, Farenheit 451, The Night Digger, The Kentuckian, Sisters, Battle of Neretva, Mysterious Island, Jane Eyre, The Man Who Knew Too Much)

He also scored a few Ray Harryhausen stop-animation films.
(Jason and the Argonauts, Mysterious Island, The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad)

Hey "The Audience" there's tons of orchestral compositions in Carlito's Way, here's one of my favorite ones. They really blend the pop/disco/salsa and the orchestral compositions well in the movie. Again, sorry that I can't figure out how to paste the youtube with the frame showing:

Dimitri Tiomkin scored a few of the early Alfred Hitchcock films but he was better know for Westerns



...Dial M for Murder


Quincy Jones...



...In Cold Blood


Duke Ellington...



...Anatomy of a Murder


György Ligeti's contribution to the film 2001: A Space Odyssey...



...Lux Aeterna



Music for adventurous listeners

The orchestral soundtrack for the last Star Trek movie was most excellent.

Yes, the USA version. It's the 1st one I had and I like the George Martin instrumentals which are not on the British version.

Yeah,I'm gonna have to go with this one I can't think of a bigger,more powerful movie soundtrack than this one.The Bee Gees' songs are just as important as the actors in the movie.The songs practically steal the show! This is not only the soundtrack to an extremely successful film,it is the soundtrack of an entire era.The impact of this soundtrack was unlike anything I had ever seen.

me too.

I have to sneek a lil' jazz in here.... tho' I see theAudience has already posted it, "scary".

I love:

The Preacher’s Wife- I listen to TPW from Oct to Nov but still play, ‘I believe in you and me’ and ‘Joy’ throughout the year

Waiting to Exhale- every single track is great

The BodyGuard- love this but many of the songs are overplayed. I love the live performances.

I'm a big fan of the music written by David Raksin.

To post a YouTube video:

1. Write "[ youtube ]" (without the spaces)

2. Paste the entire URL or just the section after v=

3. Write "[ / youtube ]" (again, without the spaces)

Simple.

My favorite score will forever be Batman Returns. Simply put, it is brilliant.

I completely agree. I love this soundtrack. I'm also a big fan of Purple Rain, The Color Purple and A Hard Day's Night.
