[InRelativeTime]

It's a pretty nice list, but I personally think that it's a crime not to have The Lord of the Rings on it. That was an absolutely brilliant score by the ever amazing Howard Shore. :)

[1RadicalOne]

I was not even aware of the score; I only find out by either knowing of the composers or seeing the films, and neither of those is true for that series.

[AdrianAir31]

You've got some great picks here! Some odd choices as well, but, it's purely opinion :) I might have figured a couple more Alan Silvestri pieces that have gone relatively unnoticed like the themes from both 'Contact' and 'Cast Away'?

Three pieces from 'Pirates...' seems a little much...

[1RadicalOne]

I ran out of space in this video; I was limited to 11 minutes. Now that I have unlimited upload times, I may well make a video some 25 minutes long with everything.

But the reason I have three Pirates scores is because there are three films and two composers, so one is insufficient.

Oh...

[jybh012]

Ah, no Thomas Newman! To each his or her own, I suppose. Nice collection nonetheless, I can tell you're a huge fan of Hans Zimmer and his ilk; there are many imposing, majestic scores listed here.

[PrismLightwave]

Nice collection. The only thing I might have done differently is move the first one to the end, even though it breaks the alphabetical order; it's just one of those pieces that's just a really good piece for a finale to a collection like this.

É* brutta autocorrezione

[snowboardrock7]

Sei bellisima questa melodia

[InRelativeTime]

@1RadicalOne All three films have a wonderful soundtrack. I think you should definitely watch them. :)
