[Amerigo Vespucci]

3. I watched "Serendipity" last night...that's one of them.

The other two that immediately come to mind are Martin Scorcese's soundtracks for "Goodfellas" and "Casino," with the major gripe being some of the songs from the most memorable moments of both didn't make it onto the CD.

:toast:

[Richardo]

4. Scorcese is good with a soundtrack that's for sure.

I'd add Goodfellas to my list.

13. Can't think of ten

but Easy Rider comes to mind so it may be my favorite :)

[targetpractice]

14. Star Wars (the original) and Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan

[Brother Buzz]

15. Rockers, The Big Easy

Two Soundtracks that really stand out in my mind. 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' is on my list, too. Is that ten?

[cemaphonic]

16. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

The soundtrack is practically a character unto itself.

The Empire Strikes Back - The Wagnerian leitmotif idea applied perfectly to cinema. All the Star Wars movies do this to some extent, but this is the best one.

Raising Arizona - Carter Burwell did lots of nice scores for the Coens and others, but this is my favorite one.

from your list, I like Amadeus and The Mission a lot.
