Basically anything Hans Zimmer (Gladiator, Inception, The Da Vinci Code, Backdraft etc etc)

Dirty dancing

Armageddon

Top Gun

I'm sure there are loads more - there is another guy quite similar to Hans Zimmer in style who has done some great films as well but I can't think of his name?

Middleoftheroad · 11/06/2018 22:26

Not a film, but love the Stranger Things soundtrack.

Purple Rain
Withnail & I
24 hour Party People
This is England
Soundtrack from American Horror Story (disappointing hotel one with Gaga in. Soundtrack sublime).

I still recall the sheer excitement of the gatefold Grease double LP in 77

Also, Dirty Dancing albums on cassette

Middleoftheroad · 11/06/2018 22:27

Actually I think it was 78/79. Getting mixed up now!

HugMeTight · 12/07/2018 17:28

My fave is Indecent Proposal. The instrumental music (especially at the end) is lovely.

annandale · 12/07/2018 17:33

The Big Easy is a fantastic accessible Creole soundtrack.

I love the soundtrack to Prospero's Books so another Michael Nyman fan, especially as I hated the film with a passion.

The Adjustment Beaurau has a great bit of "emotional music" called Four Election.
