Which Three Movies Have the Best Soundtracks?

[bobkater]

Some memorable music has been written for movies, and some movies have become memorable due to their music (mainly songs).

So, which three movie soundtracks did you like most?

I kick off with my unlikely choices, many members may have not even heard of them:
Never On Sunday (Greek songs by Hadjidakis)
Aan (Indian songs by Naushad)
The Third Man (haunting zither of Anton Karas)

Strictly speaking, the specs ask for movies or films. But let's accept the TV show as a temporary patch-up till you think of the third movie.

The theme song from the movie, The Good, the Bad & the Ugly by Enrico Morricone is iconic!
My newest favorite is the soundtrack from the movie, Nobody - my husband and I can watch it over & over again
Last but not least, Saturday Night Fever

 

[IndyJones]

Indiana Jones (any of speilburgs movies really)

Titanic

Lord of the Rings

 

[Jem]

For original music/scores I do love Moana and How to Train your Dragon

For mainstream songs in movies

Too long ago to remember. I love the singing on The Enchanted

 

[nurseangel]

OMG! Stop the fort! I forgot about Willy Wonder and the Chocolate Factory! Who could forget Gene Wilder's beautiful, off-key rendition of Pure Imagination? What is really wrong with me? Hypothetical question. No need to delve into all that.
