Which are your favorites? Which just didn't cut it? Do you buy soundtracks, or do you prefer to listen to them along with the film?

The Lord of the Rings, of course is brilliant. Here are some of my other favorites:
-I Capture the Castle (this isn't sold on CD, but the music is nonetheless wonderful) -Rob Roy -Master and Commander -The Patriot -Gladiator -Kingdom of Heaven -Little Women -Garden State
Hmm... I've only just realized that almost all of them are military/action films. I find that strange, since that is by far not my favorite genre of film. Ah, well...

LOTR (obv!) Blade Runner the Fifth Element Matrix Tri Ghost in the Shell Akira Star Wars (Empire has the best music, but I'm loving episode III right now) The Graduate Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
There's a big dystopian sci-fi thing going on if you notice. Well excluding The Graduate anyway! I recommend all the above for viewing too.

How could I forget The Graduate?! Apparently "Mrs. Robinson" was originally going to be "Mrs. Roosevelt", but the music director for the film heard the beginnings of the song and asked S & G to rewrite the lyrics for the film. By recording time though, they hadn't finished working on the lyrics, which is why you never hear the full song in the film. Just a fun bit of trivia!
