A soundtrack really makes a film come alive, choose a great one and your film is filled with far more emotion. The outcome is that many songs become memorable if you feel a connection with the film.

So, with this in mind, I have proposed to find out what your favorites are, giving my own favorites as a starter:

1) Movie Soundtrack
As an album, most of the soundtracks by Thomas Newman are superb, including Pay it Forward, The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. The best of these is probably The Shawshank Redemption, a powerful set of instrumentals for a powerful film.

2) Movie Song
There are so many songs that are made famous by movies, most recently 'Mad World' from Donnie Darko, which is my current favorite, but worth a mention is The massive Queen song 'Who Wants to Live Forever' from Highlander and The spooky 'Burn' by The Cure from The Crow Soundtrack.

3) TV Soundtrack/Song
There have been so many TV themes over the years, but none stir up emotion like the Theme Music to The Incredible Hulk series. The haunting Piano will remain a classic TV Theme forever.

I so agree with in a heart beat and I wanna be your dog.
Cant think of anything better really. The piano music in Shawshank ruled. The duel of the fates from Star Wars episode 1 also was very good.

Agreed with everything you wrote in there, pb. Not very often that happens!

Thomas Newman is by far, my favourite composer. He does music for the best films! I was gonna put a few favourites by him, but the list ended up being almost all of them..

Donnie Darko soundtrack. Track 5, can't remember the name. A really 'mental' song. Makes you feel crazy inside. It plays everytime he sees Frank.
28 Days Later - In A Heartbeat

The Six Feet Under theme is catchy. Only favourite at the moment. Went through a stage of loving the Angel theme too. That's nice.
