[Michael Bergeron]

Hmmm...

Depends on my mood but a few of my favourites are:

Last Crusade
Empire Strikes Back
New Series Doctor Who
BTTF
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Really I love the tunes from all the series mentioned here. I usually throw together tracks from all the POTC films for instance, or all the Star Wars films (for music, even the prequels have some nice tracks).

The Rock, Children of Dune, and the Metal Gear games are also filled with good stuff.

 

[christrom]

1. Star Wars Trilogy
2. Robocop
3. Bodysong
4. Fargo
5. 2001 a space odyssey

I think the Robocop soundtrack is genius. Basil Poleduris is more known for Conan, but I have yet to hear a more effective soundtrack.

The Good the Bad, and the Ugly (truthfully anything by Morricone)
Raiders (Williams as well)

Flash Gordon
