In reply to the discussion: Does anyone here like movie soundtracks? What are your favorites? [View all]AnneD
(15,774 posts)16. Not counting Musicals........
Office Space, Titanic, French Kiss, Edward ScissorHands, Braveheart, StarWars, An American Quilt, Little Women, Schindler's List, the list goes on and on. I have a big selection in my house. No on sweetens a film track like Americans. Small wonder my daughter is going to school in LA to become a sound engineer. My fav composer....her of course. She is so good she makes it seem easy. My next fav...Danny Elfman, John Williams. Yes I watch the credits to the music and have been known to just buy the soundtrack and not the movie.

When they came to my little town, I knew I had to go when I found out Ted Neeley would be there.

The music was the only part of that movie I could understand. Darn it was complicated.
