Soundtracks/OSTs/Scores.

What are some of your favourite ones & why? What element does it add to the film?

For me, Clint Mansell is my favourite composer. The Fountain is a brilliant sountrack and adds so much saddness and drama to the movie and the story. It ties everything together perfectly. I think Mogwai, another one of my favourite bands, helped them compose it which makes it that much better!

Requiem for a Dream was also a good soundtrack, but it didn't hit as many chords with me as The Fountain did.

Alexandre Desplat (The Painted Veil) and Cliff Martinez (Solaris) get honorable mentions as amazing scores as well. Cliff Martinez makes amazing ambient music as Alexandre Desplat just captures the scenery and the imagination of the story perfectly.

Stranger Than Fiction's soundtrack was composed entirely of Spoon, which was AMAZING. I love Spoon and I was

ing the whole time cause it was an amazing movie and had Spoon!

Anyway, yours?

I own all the OSTs to all of Quentin Tarantino's movies, and they all rock my socks off. Brilliant music all the way.

Howard Shores Lord Of The Rings OSTs are, obviously, masterpieces. (along with Williams' Star Wars)

Lost in Translation - Kevin Shields, My Bloody Valentine (with the peerless Sometimes), Girls by Death in Vegas is a great opening to the film, and there's Air and The Jesus and Mary Chain to go with it too. It's a hazy concoction that matches the film's disconnected feel perfectly. Sofia Coppola always picks great soundtracks.

I doubt anyone here did not see this coming, but I like the soundtracks to anime (particularly The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Chobits, Tsukuyomi -Moon Phase-, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and Rozen Maiden) and video games (particularly and quite majorly the Project Touhou soundtracks, Final Fantasy OSTs (the only good part of FFVII IMO) and just random game songs over all). Movie soundtracks, not so much.

I have too many favourites but i think Enio Morricone is above them all.
He is a living legend.
