Boom Chicka Boom
I love movie and TV soundtracks. If I lollygagged through my music collection, a majority of what I own, besides Enya (it was a phase), Vangelis, and Pink Floyd are soundtracks. There is an inner drama-queen not buried too deep, I realize, and the dramatic swell and emotionally charged crescendos of soundtrack music, specially designed to heighten and exploit the moods of a particular scene, get me every time. Not only am I a marketer's dream, I'm an emotional sucker for overwhelming and awe-inspired thrusts of music. Of course my favorites include a lot of Vangelis (BladeRunner and 1492), but I listen to "Lord of the Rings", "Gladiator", and a constant favorite for a few months, "Solaris". Chances are, if you ran up to me on the street while I had my iPod running, one of these soundtracks would be playing.
Such is my need to share this right now because I'm listening to the "Gladiator" soundtrack again after some time apart and finding it as powerful and moving as the first time I heard it.

If you like the female vocalist in Gladiatior, I dunno if you know who she is so please forgive if you already do. That's Lisa Gerrard whose done solo work as well as part of Dead Can Dance.
Ah, Gladiator--I bought that soundtrack purely on your recommendation, Beau (my gosh, how many ages ago was that?) and I still bust it out on occasion. Much like the guy who recommended it, it never fails to make me feel better. :-)
Lisa Gerrard is also prominently featured on the "Whale Rider" soundtrack I found out. I think that is on my list to pick up.
Thanks Max. It's completely mutual.
Surprisingly waaaaay ahead of its time is the soundtrack to Get Shorty (remember that film with Danny Dvito, John Travolta and some other girl?). Meh to movie, but oh Yeah to the soundtrack.
