items I am a film score *nerd* of the highest order so these lists will probably get pretty long 😅. Movie soundtracks and scores are a character themselves.

My favorite movie scores.
Jurassic Park. John Williams. Classic. John Williams is the GOAT of film scores so he'll probably pop up a lot on this list
Jurassic Park [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
Much like the movie, the score is just as perfect. I love this if I'm feeling like I want a Gothic Halloween vibe.
Crimson Peak (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) - Album by Fernando ...
Words cannot explain how excited I was when they dropped this 6 CD expansion set. I love the movies and Marco Beltrami does a great job. I remember in an interview when he scored the infamous opening scene, he said instead of focusing on the horror o...
Scream: Original Motion Picture Soundtracks (6-CD Box Set)
This one is a classic and I tear up whenever I hear that theme. Another great one by John Williams.
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Soundtrack
You're always gonna have a good time with Jerry Goldsmith. Not only is this movie a fun adventure romp, Goldsmith's music is its own character in it.
The Mummy - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Album by Jerry Goldsmith
Another Jerry Goldsmith classic. Gremlins is a whimsical and creepy score. The theme is iconic.
Gremlins (1984) 2 CD Special Edition Score and Soundtrack
I always loved film scores but the first name I learned when I started to dive deeper at like 12 years old, was Danny Elfman. I remember thinking I need to learn who did the music for Beetlejuice and bought the cassette tape and I've been hooked to s...
Beetlejuice (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) - Album by Danny Elfman
While the original Batman score is great, Batman Returns has a special place in my heart. I watch it every year as part of my Christmas movie line up(yes I consider this a Christmas movie 😂) and the score is just beautiful.
Batman Returns (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) by Danny Elfman
John Williams is the king of recognizable movie themes!
John Williams "Raiders March" from "Raiders of the Lost Ark"
I know, I know. I don't really recommend the movie but when I tell you this is an absolute favorite that doesn't match the horror of the movie, you wouldn't believe me. But you have to because it's on this list 😝.
Cannibal Holocaust (Main Theme) - song and lyrics by Riz Ortolani
Max Richter has a habit of creating music that makes me cry. Not only check this out, but delve into his other work as well!
Mary Queen Of Scots (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) - Album by Max ...
I had stumbled across a clip of this movie on YouTube a long time ago and it made me want to watch the whole movie. It has a great whimsical score that has made its way into my top ten.
Orlando (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
I saw a 50th anniversary screening of Jaws today and it reminded me of how much I love, not only the movie (which is perfect btw), but the score.
JAWS (2CD)
I love listening to this when I want to relax. It's such a good score!
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - Album by Howard Shore
I never watched this show. But I stumbled across a track from the score and I loved it so I went back and listened to the whole thing and I'm obsessed. Track highlights: "Vision", "Love For Duty"
I Medici (Original Soundtrack) - Album by Paolo Buonvino | Spotify
I LOVED this Dracula series. It's only 3 episodes, each an hour and a half long but I was mesmerized the entire time. The music is perfect!
Dracula (Original Television Soundtrack) - Album by David Arnold | Spotify
I'm not allowed to play this in the car because when Test Drive comes on, I will most likely get a ticket. One of my favorite scores ever. This broke into my top 5 when it came out. Hasn't been knocked out yet.
How To Train Your Dragon (Music From The Motion Picture) - Album by John ...
Soundtracks
My favorite movie soundtracks.
Nothing really to say about this one except that it's my favorite soundtrack of all time. Every track is perfect.
Romeo + Juliet Soundtrack 1996 Movie
Hands down the best fake band album ever haha. This movie and soundtrack is so fun!
Josie And The Pussycats Soundtrack: “The Best Debut Album By A Band ...
Hugely nostalgic for me. I wanted to work in a record store so bad because of this movie.
Empire Records (1995) - Soundtrack
One of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. The soundtrack is amazing as well!
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Music From the Motion Picture) New Sealed CD Digipak
I always walk away from a Tarantino movie wanting the soundtrack. This one is great!
Pulp Fiction (1994) - Soundtracks
This Tarantino soundtrack is stellar. 🤌🤌🤌
Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof Soundtrack CD
