Soundtracks and Film scores, your favourites


 I love the cinema and some of my favourite albums are from films, TV and shows. There seem two basic variants, a score written for the film and compilations of existing tracks, used in the film. So what are your favourites? I'll start.

 Original scores:

  Hard to avoid Hans Zimmer and why would you want to.

   Hans Zimmer, "The thin red line"   Not his best known, but a great score.

   Honourable mention:

    Korngold, "The Sea Hawk"

Compilation scores:

   "Dead man walking" A really great film too.

    Honourable mentions:

      "Philadelphia"

      "The Sopranos" That's the original from the first series

 I am sure you can all think of better ones.

I was listening to Leonard Cohen this afternoon and thought of Natural Born Killers.  I am late to a lot of parties, and I did not discover Leonard Cohen or The Cowboy Junkies until Natural Born Killers came out on VHS.
