I just recently watched Schindlers List again and was reminded of how great the music is in that movie. I ordered the soundtrack CD from my iPad as I was watching the movie. That music always almost brings tears to my eyes. It's very moving--in the best possible way!

This is another one that was widely panned, but I LOVE it.  I'm a huge fan of ABBA music anyway and, of course, Meryl Streep.

Sound of Music

West Side Story - also great dancing

A lesser known musical that some may not have seen and might like is The Bandwagon - famous for "That's Entertainment" but has other good songs too. It is a comedy song and dance musical with Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse

Movies that I think have great soundtracks include:

The Big Country - opening track with wagon wheels is really good

The Magnificent Seven

Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back - Episodes 4 & 5

Harry Potter & the Socerer's Stone

The Lord of the Rings trilogy

Somewhere in Time

The Story of Three Loves

Out of Africa - my all time favorite!!
