The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - Ennio Morricone
It is, in my opinion, the greatest music ever recorded. It's beautiful and it's epic an I love it.

Koyaanisqatsi - Philip Glass

Minimalism at it's finest.

The Harder They Come - Jimmy Cliff/Various Artists
It fits the film perfectly, and it is one of the finest reggae records ever made. I love this soundtrack, and it's one of the few times where the score outshines the film itself.

Lord of the Rings Series - Howard Shore
I own the complete editions of all three soundtracks.

Fight Club - Dust Brothers
A damn fine trip-hop album, this score set the tone for the film, and it stands alone very well. I wasn't a huge fan of the film, but I am a huge fan of this album


The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Nick Cave/Warren Ellis
It's simple, but it's very and emotional and damn near perfect.

North by Northwest - Bernard Herrmann
This is my favorite score by Bernard Herrmann. It's the best representation of his works. It's very suspenseful, with a dash of comedic feeling.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind - John Williams
This is John William's best score, in my opinion.


There Will Be Blood - Jonny Greenwood
This music is really unsettling. If fits the film perfectly, and matches the emotional turmoil in the film and in Danile Plainview.

Blade Runner - Vangelis
