I’ve only got a few such as [ul][li]_Pulp Fiction_[_]Resevoir Dogs[_]_The Doors_[_]Man, I hate to admit it but Mortal Kombat [_]_Rush_[/ul][/li]
There is one that I **really really** want and that is the soundtrack to _Easy Rider_, but AFAIK it’s been out of print with no timeline for re-release. But man, what a killer movie with an awesome score. Sure wish I could find it anywhere…
What do you own?

I own _South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut"_, and that’s it. I do own 2 Broadway soundtracks, _A Chorus Line_ and _Evita_.
I need to boost my soundtrack collection.

I own about 300. Very few song compilations, most are original scores. Impossible to pick my favorite, but I’m partial to the ones I have that are out of print or that I bought in Europe and aren’t available commercially in the U.S.

I’ve got quite a few. But the crowning jewel would have to be Genghis Blues, autographed by Kongar-ool Ondar.

I only have two: **Ten Things I Hate About You** (I LOVE Letters to Cleo’s version of “I Want You to Want Me”) and **William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet**. I HIGHLY recommend the latter even if you hated the movie. Des’ree’s “Kissin’ You” is a gorgeous love ballad, Radiohead’s “Talk Show Host” is sultry and angry at once, and it just rocks 😃

That’s pretty funny, because Paul Pena gave me my copy.
Of my ~300, here’s a rundown of the composers I have the most of:
**Bernard Herrmann** : _Citizen Kane, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Ghost & Mrs. Muir, Taxi Driver, Farenheit 451_ (collection), _Cape Fear_ (collection), Hitchcock collection (_Psycho, Vertigo_, etc.), Fantasy collection (_Jason & the Argonauts_, etc.), _The Twilight Zone_ (w/Goldsmith)
**Jerry Goldsmith** : _Under Fire, Logan’s Run, The Blue Max, Alien, Patton, Planet of the Apes, The Omen_ (2-disc collection), _Star Trek_ (collection, w/Horner), _The Twilight Zone_ (w/Herrmann)
**Franz Waxman** : _Bride of Frankenstein, The Spirit of St. Louis, The Nun’s Story, Sunset Boulevard_ (collection), Legends of Hollywood (2-disc collection)+ lots of bits & pieces in other collections
**Ennio Morricone** : _The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Cinema Paradiso, The Mission, The Untouchables, Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion_, Legendary Italian Westerns (collection), A Fistful of Music (2-disc collection), The Singles Collection (2-discs)
Needless to say, I’ve also got Steiner, Korngold, Newman (Alfred, Randy & Thomas), Barry, Tiomkin, Bernstein, Horner, Williams, Elfman, Prokofiev, Poledouris, Zimmer, Delerue, Mancini, Legrand, Jarre, Nyman, Young, Arnold, Walton, Webb, Rozsa, Rota, North, Auric, Rosenman, Copland, Schifrin, Portman, Friedhofer, Shore, Goldenthal, Isham, Howard, Takemitsu, Bernard, Burwell, Theodorakis, Grusin, Stothart, Deutsch, Glass, Jones, and others.
Add to that the musicals (stage & screen), song compilation soundtracks (_Big Chill, Pulp Fiction_, etc.), and TV soundtracks.
And there’s still so much more that would be so great to own…

Really? And I was thinking of adding it to my collection.
I’ve got 120+ CDs and a few LPs. I don’t know about the rest of the hoarders here, but my collection grew while I was doing a movie soundtrack show at the college radio station. In fact, I might have acquired more if I hadn’t been using the station library, which had titles like “Pulp Fiction” et cetera. Also, I gave my sister a lotta juicy stuff, like all the Disney albums, and the Menken/Ashman “Little Shop of Horrors.”
Some of my prizes:
-as complete a Danny Elfman collection as you’re likely to find, including “Wisdom,” “Big Top Pee Wee” and “Nightbreed.” Also “Summer School” – a song compilation with one Elfman track – and the Oscar sampler of “Good Will Hunting.”
-AKIRA
-Terminator: Definitive Edition (and also the version with the songs)
-Transformers the movie (absolutely rotten music, but it brings back memories)
-The Muppet Movie on LP
-Young Einstein (a “Serious” motion picture soundtrack). I snatched this from a trashcan, and have never listened to it.
-and Orgy of the Dead starring Criswell, complete with dialog.

Notting Hill
Moulin Rouge
That’s all I think! I used to live with someone who had the Interview With The Vampire soundtrack, which wasn’t too bad - oh, and one of these days I’m going to buy me a new copy of The Little Mermaid soundtrack! And maybe Pleasantville.
