I saw the thread about classical music so I thought I would add one about film scores. Possibly to find some I can later add to my collection as well. :popcorn:
I will go first. :p
My current favorite, well worth a listen! Tori No Hito (Bird Person) by Joe Hisaishi. The ending track for Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (風の谷のナウシカ, Kaze no Tani no Naushika).

Also I love the works of Basilis Konstantine "Basil" Poledouris.

Star Wars has always had an epic film soundtrack...lol
But seriously, I enjoy the music from Pan's labyrinth.

Director - Wim Wenders
Music - Madredeus
The band are from Potugal, I have no idea what she is singing about, but her voice is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

Pretty much every piece of music in "Conan the Barbarian" rules :)

I agree. The whole movie just plows forward with the leitmotifs. I recently got my hands on it, and I have been enjoying that very much.

Not actually a film score but definitely worth a listen - the music from the anime Tsubasa Reservior Chronicles (music by Yuki Kajiura)
The music is hard to describe, kind of classical with a techno edge. Lots of beautiful violin throughout.

I still love the music from Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Rings, too. Great stuff.

kill bill vol. 1 is a bunch of fun music beautifully used.
paris, texas without the ry cooder score, would be totally worthless (except for look at what's her name).

My favorites: John Williams' "Yoda's Theme (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yoda%27s_Theme)" and "Princess Leia's Theme (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Princess_Leia%27s_Theme)" from the Star Wars movies,
the Farewell Suite (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kUl5ItfVoM) from Free Willy (I love Basil Poledouris too :) )
Alan Silvestri's "Forrest Gump Suite (http://www.last.fm/music/Alan+Silvestri/_/Forrest+Gump+Suite)", from Forrest Gump.
I'll probably think of several more after I post this.
