I've never been in this part of the chat boards and decided that my first post should be to ask you all what your favorite movie soundtracks are (EXCLUDING MOVIE MUSICALS GUYS!!!). 

Here are my favorites:

Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix, Vol. 1

Wonder Woman (2017)

Star Wars (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

I have tons of favorite motion picture scores, but two that automatically come to mind are from the films, "Steel Magnolias" and "Crimes of the Heart" - both composed by the brilliant Georges Delerue.

I also love Elmer Bernstein's score for the film, "Far From Heaven".

Another soundtrack favorite, while not technically a traditional musical - but one that features excellent songs and performances by Sissy Spacek as Loretta Lynn and Beverly D'Angelo as Patsy Cline is the soundtrack to "Coal Miner's Daughter".

Halloween 1 and 2 (plus "Silver Shamrock" from Halloween 3)

Song scores from movies:
Velvet Goldmine (double disc version)

Digimon the Movie (many a millennial kid's first Rough Guide to 90's alternative pop: Fatboy Slim, LEN, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, etc.)
Genesis Live 1973 (concert film but still)

Philip Glass isn’t for everyone but I’m fond of his scores for The Hours, The Fog of War, Notes on a Scandal, and The Truman Show.

I also like Racheal Portman’s scores for The Cider House Rules and Grey Gardens (for HBO).

The Lord of the Rings movies are beautifully scored.

I love the scores to “A Streetcar Named Desire”, “The Heiress”, and “Gone With the Wind”.

”Jackie”, from last year, had a phenomenal score.

The soundtracks to “We Bought a Zoo,” “127 Hours,” “Brother Bear,” and “The Help” are all so beautiful and have helped me through so many hard times. Especially WBAZ. That soundtrack is AMAZING. Listening to one of Jonsi’s songs is like flying.
