Last Action Hero soundtrack was one that I liked back in college.

I may have mentioned this one before, but The Bride of Frankenstein had a good kind of eerie soundtrack.

By Franz Waxman. He scored a lot of big movies, including Rebecca, The Philadelphia Story, Sunset Boulevard, and Rear Window.

I guess he did quite a few movies. Another one I used to have of his a record albums of Crime In The Streets. It was kind of a 50's rock thing.

I'm absolutely hypnotized by the opening credits music theme for House of Cards by Jeff Beal!

My favorite broadway musical is The Phantom of the Opera--I love all of the songs!!! I'll also give the song "Memory" from Cats an honorable mention.

I'm not a big fan of movie soundtracks in general (mostly because my parents are and I grew up hearing so many famous soundtracks over and over and OVER again!!!), but I've always liked the music from the Star Wars movies. Brings back some good childhood memories.

I absolutely love the score for Imitation Game! It is just so soothing and it makes me remember the movie, which is really what a score helps you do. I also love ANYTHING John Williams.

Around Christmastime, Home Alone has one of the best soundtracks for the season.
The soundtrack to Fifty Shades of Grey is really good.
Lord of the Rings's music is magnificent and also Inception and Dark Knight (Hans Zimmer is a genius).
After that, I'm a sucker for nearly any Disney movie soundtrack.

The 1958 thriller I Bury The Living had an eerie soundtrack by Gerald Fried that went very well with the movie's punch lines.
