Vangelis, OST from 1492 - Conquest of Paradise.

Picked up a Charles Gerhardt tape of the "Lost Horizon" film score by Dimitri Tiomkin. One of my favs and just a beautiful recording.

I love the films of Jacques Tati and the soundtrack music is always fun and witty.

I bought an album of music from his soundtracks called Extraits Des Bandes Originales Des Films De Tati Jacques.

As the OST of Once Upon A Time In America (Ennio Morricone) has already been cited, I'd like to add my two other over the top favourites: Blade Runner (Vangelis) and Back To The Future (which contains also not "original" songs...)

 

[Steve Williams]

Anyone remember growing up the OST to Summer Place by Henry Mancini

Absolutely, Exodus also rings a bell....particularly the F&T version, lots of air play....

 

[Mary]

The Mission (1986) - Ennio Morricone

 

[MylesBAstor]

One of my favourites is the soundtrack from "Duck You Sucker" by Ennio Morriconi.

When it comes to film music, there is Nino Rota for Fellini. Then there is Nino Rota for others. Then there are others for others.

Yesterday, while visiting my local dealer, he played the soundtrack to The Hot Spot on vinyl - with John Lee Hooker, Miles Davis, Taj Mahal, among others. WOW! The CD is available on Amazon for not very much.... but I'm hunting for the vinyl.
