The Dark Knight

I can't explain why, but I think Howard and Zimmer's score to the Dark Knight is the best original soundtrack. Rightfully so, it won the Grammy for best film score in 2008.

UP!!!

UP is one of the best movies ever made. Naturally, I bought the soundtrack and cannot stop listening to it. Okay, I may be stretching the truth a little. I don't listen to it all the time, but it's one of the few albums I can listen to without ever growing tired of it.

Anything by Thomas Newman

It's impossible to pick just one original film score... but if I could pick a composer, it would certainly be Thomas Newman. Finding Nemo, Little Women, Shawshank Redemption, Wall-E... I love them all!
