Here I will start everyone back to normal
"Star Wars SE: A New Hope," "Star Wars SE The Empire Strikes Back," "Star Wars SE: Return of the Jedi," and finally "Star Wars: Episode I" (or at least when the second CD comes out, if it does)

I'd have to say either "Murder in the First", by Chris Young or "Conan the Barbarian", by....well...you know who.
Both these scores have almost no skip-over music (as I like to call it).

All time favorite full score: E.T., with The Peacemaker, Raiders, and (eventually released) Superman following closely. There are so may others- but most have already been mentioned- why be conforming?[This message has been edited by Widescreen (edited 06-15-99).]

Days of Thunder by Hans Zimmer! But as all of you know that it is not released and only a two(or more?) suite tracks were released.

Well, the best FULL score would have to be, The Phantom Menace. I also love The Last Crusade and Raiders.NP: Batman

Braveheart is good, but the other CD is stuff with dialogue, the one you want is the normal soundtrack. More music from Braveheart is good after you have the normal one. If you don't have it yet, I strongly recommend Schindler's List, one of the most beautiful and depressing scores of all time.
NP: Austin Powers: SWSM

The Wind and the Lion by Jerry Goldsmith.I can listen to this cd over and over and never tire of it.At one moment it is Lush and beautiful, and the next moment it is heart-pounding action music.One of the greatest compositions of all-time.

Under Fire is my favorite score, it's 95% complete, unfortuneately leaving off one very good chase cue.

Since Braveheart was mentioned, there is one thing I did notice when the movie was on broadcast TV a few months ago; and that is how predominant (I mean that in the most positive sense) the score is. There is a lot of the score used in virtual entirety and it's played at a volume which brings it to the forefront with the scenery, characters and action. I was pleased to see this, having missed the movie at time of theater release and having bought the soundtrack within days of its release (and this was before I was really into film scores).NP: Medicine Man / ****

Well since everyone has mentioned all the scores I was GOING to list, the 3 SE Star Wars, Superman, Raider, The Phantom Menace, Cutthroat Island, etc., etc., I'm going to list one of my favorite Elman scores that hasn't been mentioned...yet. So you can put me down for A Nightmare Before Christmas. Cute songs with a little touch of that Elfman dark side.
