Another really great track I've become particularly fond of from Far From Home:

[Walter Kittel]

Once Upon A Time in Hollywood has kind of sparked my interest in Paul Revere and the Raiders. Apparently they toured with the Beach Boys and that influence is (IMHO) heard on this track that is part of the OUATIH soundtrack...

"Mr. Sun, Mr. Moon" is another great Paul Revere song from OUATIH.

 

[Edwin-S]

I'm not a big soundtrack person and buy only the occasional one, because soundtrack albums often omit the very songs that I bought the album for. Case in point: CROSSROADS. I bought the album specifically for the Head Cuttin' duel with Steve Vai. It was completely missing from the album.

I only have a few, so I guess I would have to say they are favoured because I bothered to buy them in the first place.

The Long Riders soundtrack by Ry Cooder is good.
Daft Punks soundtrack for "Tron Legacy" is decent.
The soundtrack for "Sucker Punch" caught my ear, but I haven't listened to it in quite awhile. May have to give it a spin one of these days.

That is about it. The biggest disappointment was CROSSROADS for the aforementioned omission. The rest of the album was okay.
I almost forgot to mention the soundtrack from " O Brother, Where Art Thou?". That soundtrack was topnotch.

Mark Lindsay was no Brian Wilson though. Hence The Beach Boys get whole chapters devoted to Pet Sounds while the Raiders have to settle for a footnote.

All Nino Rota themes from Fellini films.

MainTheme from "Ben Hur" by Miklos Rozsa

Main theme from "Lawrence of Arabia" by Maurice Jarre

I wanted to bump this older thread for this track from Black Widow. I think this is Lorne Balfe's first time composing something in the MCU, and I think he really did a great job ith this score. Maybe they'll bring him back at some point for some other project. It's a shame there's no physical CD release of Black Widow from Disney but I did buy the digital download.



And this from James Newton Howard's exciting score for Raya and the Last Dragon earlier this year:

 

[70 Millman]

Anything by Miklos Rozsa, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Bernard Herrmann, Dimitri Tiomkin etc.
- classic composers from the Golden Age of Film Scoring. I have re-created pieces from
several of my favorite scores by these greats using the best orchestral samples and MIDI technology.
They can be heard here...

Crossroads is legendary in my family as "The worst movie ever made". Personally I think Waiting for Guffman is way worse.
