Conclusion: For really interesting soundtracks/film scores we don't need to resort to Morricone, Mancini, Zimmer and the like...
Best fegards!

I didn't know about that movie featuring Zamfir's music.Thank you!
Cool Babe Ruth too! Never heard of them until now.
Brits used a lot of electroacoustic guitars , i like them more than the cold electric guitar usually used by the americans.
Besides I could never get over Black Sabath Paranoid in rock tastes...I stopped there a long time ago...There's somthing I can't explain but while I'm just 45 and myfirst 13 years were under complete ideological and art darkness , I couldn't get m9dern enough for the 90's music...My tastes kinda stopped in the mid 80's.Then got back on track with the music made after 2010...probably because there was a lot of revivals of the old 60's tunes in it.I could never be a complex listener with fine polished tastes...

I like soundtracks because they are orchestral recordings that tend to be less boring than classical music. 😉
Unfortunately, while it is easy to find classical music recordings that were made with two microphones, soundtracks are invariably multi-miked. Soundtracks sound impressive, but they are less honest than classical music recordings.

Why are all the coloured members silent on this? This list makes it seem soundtracks are English speaking background thing except Star Trek next generation off course. Reality is that our so-called ethnics "world movies" is where the real musical energy and variety is. As an example, such lists about our favourite Indian feature film soundtracks would be hundreds of titles long, if not thousands. This is an observation and commentary on a thread on this international forum. Looks like I am the only 'ethnic' on here that loves Bollywood! Bollywood is soundtracks!!!! 🙂
One thing with cinema is that it gets you in touch with cultures from far away! 🙂
Here is Clint Mansell before he got into scoring movies doing vocal duty with Pop Will Eat Itself:
As DIYAudio is hosted in Houston, TX, USA, I'm also what you call »ethnic« 😉 , but not aware of Bollywood movies.
Best regards!
I have enjoyed "The Commitments", both the film and soundtrack.
Found the film accidentally due to a mix up at the video rental store back in the 90's.
Then bought the soundtrack on CD.

Lots to agree with here... and lots to investigate.
Wilhelmenia Fernandez singing the aria from la Wally at the beginning of Diva was a powerful attention-getter but the rest of the music wasn't too shabby either.
And I remember suspending my suspension of disbelief part way through Until the End of the World with the realization of how well the beautiful found-object songs fit what was happening in the story. (so that worked... and it didn't). I have lots of favourite songs in movies but that's a slightly different topic.
Korngold's rousing swashbucklers are favourites too.
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir music is great.
My favourite, though, is Elmer Bernstein's score for To Kill a Mockingbird.

of course there was English(uk) sound with cheesy guitars most notably Queen ,the movie highlander with Micheal Kamen composing which i probably watched over 10 times was enjoyable fantasy but the soundtrack is still cheesy,and don't forget they also did the original Flash Gordon
as for bollywood i actually saw Lata M play with the kronus quartet live at carnegie hall playing her husbands soundtracks was probably in my top 10 concerts of all time
my first taste of japanese film music was Furyo with Ryuichi Sakamoto and david bowie
i do have the can film music but its more background sound effects
and never forget this masterpiece

My favorite 'soundtracks' are actually compilations.
"The Best of James Bond 30th Anniversary Collection" - A collection of 18 James Bond title themes.
"Sleepless In Seattle" - A collection of classic songs from over the years, including (among others):
"As Time Goes By" - Jimmy Durante
"A Kiss To Build A Dream On" - Louis Armstrong
"Stardust" - Nat King Cole
"Bye Bye Blackbird" - Joe Cocker
"Stand By Your Man" - Tammy Wynette
🙂
On Youtube, I listened to a very good compilation of all of the Star Trek theme music. I am not posting a link because it was pirated. 😉
