Favorite non-SW tracks
I was thinking of starting a thread to list your all-time favorite tracks from film soundtracks. Since eight or nine of mine would be Star Wars tracks (and we already have a
thread for that
), I decided to make a list excluding SW tracks.
1. The Enterprise - Jerry Goldsmith (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
2. The Breaking Of The Fellowship - Howard Shore (LOTR: The Fellowship Of The Ring)
3. End Credits - John Williams (Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade)
4. Isengard Unleashed - Howard Shore (LOTR: The Two Towers)
5. Theme From "Schindler's List" - John Williams (Schindler's List)
6. James Bond Theme From Dr. No - John Barry/Monty Norman (Dr. No)
7. Love Theme From "The Godfather" - Nino Rota (The Godfather)
8. Escape/Chase/Saying Goodbye - John Williams (E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial)
9. Battle In The Mutara Nebula - James Horner (Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan)
10. Exultate Justi - John Williams (Empire Of The Sun)
HM: The Medallian Calls - Hans Zimmer (POTC: The Curse Of The Black Pearl) ... for Jack Sparrow's introduction
HM: The Map Room/Dawn - John Williams (Raiders Of The Lost Ark) ... not as good on its own as it is brilliant film score
