Wow, no shout outs to Forrest Gump yet?  Classic soundtrack there :)  Blow is also quite a solid one...

I was just about to write something about Forrest Gump.

When you talk about great soundtracks in the
movies, I assume you mean music the accentuates
the mood or emotion of the scene in progress..

Many were aleady mentioned in posts..
Conan the barbarian,
The Blue Max,
Lord of the Rings,
And others etc...

Some I didn't see mentioned,
The Magnificent Seven, Elmer Bernstien, the best!!!

The Sting, The ragtime tunes were pure perfection...

True Grit, Saw it in the theater when released.. When
the Duke faces down the 4 badguys, and gives that
immortal line "Fill your hand, you SOB".. The crowd was
OUT OF THEIR SEATS, CHEERING!!! Don't see that often!
Thats what a great soundtrack will do... Wind up all the
emotion, then release it at he proper moment!!!

There are some others, but not many REALLY good ones..

Actually, I find I like Randy Edelmann's scores in general. Dragonheart had some GREAT music, and you've already heard my thoughts on his Gettysburg score, and Last of the Mohicans has come up as well.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
