Lou Goldberg Oscar® Winner	You already have a pretty good collection. I have to second Beyond Rangoon. It's one of his best in my humble opinion. Rocco recommended Power of One--I liked it, but it's all Africal chorals, much different from what you'd expect from Zimmer.

Will Oscar® Winner	Try Days of Thunder if you could get your hands on it. And Andre Lux sux NP American Beauty (Thomas Newman)

Hasta Oscar® Winner	I cannot BELIEVE nobody has recommended Prince of Egypt, Zimmer's second best score to date (behind TTRL). Beyond Rangoon is indeed excellent as well.

HadrianD Oscar® Winner	How about this. Since you're a fan already (right? right?), why not just get all the available Zimmer CD out there and judge for yourself. You wouldn't be disappointed. And when you do, just give it all to me. I'll be satisfied with extra copies Try to find Regarding Henry. One of his nicest score.

Quill Oscar® Winner	"Hanzimmer suck!" Poor Andre...caught in yet another angry moment with nothing intelligent to say. Chris, That's pretty strong Zimmer collection...I'll second those that have mentioned the following: Beyond Rangoon The Lion King Prince of Egypt House of Spirits (This would be my first pick!)

Big Bear unregistered	The Power Of One Rain Man Nobody ever mentions these. And congratulations to Andre for recently breaking 1000 posts. That is one thousand little nuggets of Brazilian wisdom. We should all feel privileged. [Message edited by Big Bear on 06-29-2001]

[Message edited by Big Bear on 06-29-2001] Somehow I expected a big wink icon at the end of the message. Power of One is great but it rarely end up in my CD tray. np - Neon Genesis Evangelion

Lancelot Oscar® Winner	And if you like Power of One, checking out A World Apart wouldn't hurt. (As the anecdote goes, it's the score that inspired Rain Man...or, at least, got Zimmer the job....)

ChrisScott83 Oscar® Nominee	Hey Guys! Thanks for all the suggestions. I think Im going to go with... The Lion King Beyond Rangoon Thanks Again! Chris

sabbey Oscar® Winner	Anyway, on to the original question of this thread. There have been some great suggestions. Though, you seem to have quite a few of the must-have scores already. Out of what I have heard, I would add the following... Beyond Rangoon Muppet Treasure Island The Prince of Egypt Regarding Henry The new Wings of a Film compilation is pretty good too. It leaves a lot to be desired in places, but it is rather nice otherwise. Regards, Sean Robert Abbey
