I just have John Williams awesome SW Ep 6: ROTJ soundtrack on, one of my favourite pieces being the later scene involving Luke and Vader's fight in the Emperor's room, and it still stirs me. But then John Williams was always such a master, both in incidental / story driving stuff, and coming up with unforgettable themes (superman anyone?).
What film soundtracks do you guys like?
- Another poster, from another forum.I'm commenting on an internet forum. Your facts hold no sway over me.
System as shown, plus: Microsoft Wireless mobile 4000 mouse and Logitech Illuminated keyboard.
Sennheiser RS160 wireless headphones. Creative Gigaworks T40 SII. My wife. My Hexus Trust
Amelie - masterful french folk style
Pans Labyrinth - one of the most haunting melodies around
2001 - great use of two strausses
Shrek - fantastic pop collection
oops, how could I forget: Moulin Rouge! Wonderful tapestry of musics.

I love pretty much everything Hans Zimmer has worked on. And the work Bear McCreary did on Battlestar Galactica was awesome.

I have to agree with Kal on the Amelie soundtrack. Also, are game soundtracks allowed here as the Halo 3: ODST soundtrack is probably the best I've heard from a game outside of Final Fantasy.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
Edit: Double post.

Conan the Barbarian (Basil Poledouris) and Gladiator (Hans Zimmer) are two of my favourites.
Edit also the Thomas Newman American Beauty & The Shawshank Redemption soundtracks - unusual but lovely.

To name a few I quite like:
Shindler's list
Matrix
Requiem for a dream (Slightly ruined by over use of a certain track from various people)
Old Boy
Can.Not.Stand.Hans.Zimmer.
Seriously, I can't even tell the different tracks apart. The Rock sounds like Pirates of the Caribbean which sounds like Gladiator and everything else he's done.
Gattaca - Michael Nyman
O Brother Where Art Thou? - I gained a whole lot of appreciation for bluegrass after watching this movie
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - beautiful, sometimes melancholy
Pirates of the Carribean - always feel ready to swash some buckles when listening to this
Disney's Aladdin, Lion King, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, The Jungle Book - classics, all of them
And John Williams' tunes, natch :)
Blade Runner
Crouch Tiger Hidden Dragon
Captain Corelli's Mandolin
Apocalypse Now
Heat
French Kiss
Good Morning Vietnam
Platoon
37 Le Matin
Until the End of the World
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
True Romance
In the Mood For Love
Romeo & Juliet (Baz Luhrman)
Il Postino
The Big Blue
Walk the Line
Saturday Night Fever
Once Upon a Time in the West
etc
One can never stop saying Thank You

Anything by Clint Mansell is good, and totally agree on the Oldboy OST.
The theme tune for The New York Ripper is class too.
Huge Zimmer fan here, also Newton Howards stuff is pretty good.
To be honest I love the production involved with their work, film is one of the few avenues where serious money can be put forward to get a complete orchestra in a studio along with electronic production. It rarely happens elsewhere.
The Batman soundtracks, Inception, Da Vinci Code/Angels vs Demons - they're brilliant tests for your AV system.
