	ESB SE is not merely my favorite soundtrack ever, it is my favorite album ever! :-) After that, I'd say Raiders of the Lost Ark and the other SW movies.

	Gotta say, Shane is very nice too. I love the pounding bass as Shane rides into town at the end, and then when the orchestra comes in, sheer heaven. -----signature----- I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.

	I just watched Glory. Must say, James Horner did a magnificent job with that theme. Sends chills down my spine. Great music, great movie. -----signature----- I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough Without having ever felt sorry for itself.

	ESB at #1?? ESB might be everyone's favorite SW film but is the score better than ROTJ's?? ROTJ has original scores PLUS ESB and ANH scores. The best of all four most definitely. I agree with Nathan's list to that extent. 1. ROTJ 2. ANH 3. ESB 4.

	Ooh, Mast ranked Conan as #1... I just got the DVD and the friggin' audio is in MONO! Good God allmighty what were they thinking. Still a great score. Although my choice for best soundtrack ever goes to ESB:SE. I was just listening to it today at work. I've never heard something so complex, delirious, disturbing, magnificant, beautiful, enlightening, and epic as the music for this movie. If you can compare something like this to Sgt. Pepper's(ie. the best of a certain group), the ESB soundtrack is John Williams' Sgt. Pepper. It could fuel a rocket to Pluto and back. -----signature----- ¤TheForce.net staff My TFN & JC Banners...before the dark times... • http://www.geocities.com/lord_mall/TFN_graphics.html . mobile site: http://www.geocities.com/lord_mall/index3.html The irony was not lost on him.

	ESB - Best film soundtrack ever. You can listen to it and see the movie in your head. ANH - almost as good, especially the opening titles, Ben's Death and the Imperial Attack theme (the pre-Imperial March Imperial theme). ROJ - not so hot. Only the Vader vs Luke snippet really does it for me (with the possible addition of the unused Funeral for a Jedi theme - best use of the Force theme ever - even better than Luke staring into the Suns), but it's the best piece of music in all of the movies. You listen to that and you have no doubt that Luke is the Man. Cutthroat Island - superb soundtrack, absolutely superb. Even little bits of Force theme tucked in there (track 3 I think). Go get it! John Debney (and the whole Davi Arnold thing). Raiders of the Lost Ark - the Map Room - ooh. TPM - it's weak, I think (I especially despise the main fanfare of Panaka and the Queen's Protectors, although parts of it are cool). This soundtrack shows how JW has developed away from a theme and leitmotif style (probably just used for SW anyway). Not as sucky as Jurassic Park though. Superman - fairly bland action music, but the love theme (not the narrated one), the main theme and the Krypton bits are so brilliant that they all belong in a Star Wars movie - and how I wish they were in there somewhere. I quite like Stargate, although the main theme is weak. Starship Troopers has a few good marches and really makes you want to join up - Basil Poledouris should get more work. Why are soundtracks so flippin' expensive?
