Like others, I have too many soundtracks to list. Offhand, I can think of the following that I have: Footloose Flashdance Grease Anastasia Tarzan Beauty and the Beast Pinocchio Grosse Point Blank Almost Famous Reservoir Dogs Pulp Fiction An American in Paris St. Elmo’s Fire Stand By Me I am dying to get the Nightmare before Christmas, and I also have a couple box sets - one of songs from MGM musicals, and one of Disney movies. Some of the soundtracks I listed above will always be classics to me, although probably not to others. Susan ---

Jeez, you guys. Besides Beatles albums (Let It Be, A Hard Day’s Night, Help!, Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine), I think I own one–Singles. Oh, wait; I think Dr. LindyHopper has the soundtrack to Dirty Dancing around somewhere. And Purple Rain (hmm…maybe we have more than I thought). Jeez! On preview (looking at other people’s), I can’t _believe_ I forgot Dazed and Confused. OK, so I have more than one. But I think that’s all of them. ---

Hmmm… Seems I’m the only one with all three Indiana Jones soundtracks. I even have an original one from germany that I got for a few bucks at a used CD shop. They used to go for 40 bucks or so. I think I’ve got all the Rocky soundtracks, Eye of the Tiger comes off of Rocky 3 but is on 4. I also have Red Dawn and one I wish I could find on CD Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. I’ve got plenty more but most are on tape, not that I ever listen to any of the these though. ---

I own: **Pump Up The Volume Empire Records The Big Lebowski Rob Roy Playing God Dirty Dancing More Dirty Dancing The Matrix Great Expectations City of Angels** I’ve always got my eyes open for a good compilation disc, and soundtracks are one of the most fun ways to achieve that aim. I didn’t used to care about the orchestral “soundtrack” to a film, but I’m getting more into that lately . . . not enough to have bought any yet, though, obviously. ---

I love soundtracks, and most of mine have been listed here. So I’ll just put in my "me too"s for the **Romeo + Juliet** soundtrack (both disks). I love the “You & Me” song. It’s just so…so…exuberant. And “Little Star” is a great one too. And “Angel.” Okay, now I now what I’m listening to on the way home. Actually **Moulin Rouge** is in my player right now. I love it…I think I’m going to have “Come What May” somewhere in my wedding, if only at the reception. ---

“Bringing Out the Dead” is a great soundtrack with songs I hadn’t heard since the 70’s. I’m a recent jazz convert. Does anyone have the Naked Lunch soundtrack and if so, is it worth buying? ---

I really don’t go in for soundtracks and don’t own a single one. But I can think of one recent example of a film that I thought had noticeably great music that really contributed to the whole: _Gladiator_. ---

I have too many to get into, but I’d like to mention two that always come with me on road trips: _That Old Feeling_ and _When Harry Met Sally…_. If you like show tunes you will love these soundtracks. Well, maybe a few more. _Desperado_ is a good Latin one. _Hedwig_ is power-chord brilliance, and everyone I’ve turned on to it has asked “This is cool what is it?” I can’t WAIT to do the same with the DVD. Try and tear me down! ---

Color me jealous **Fibonacci** I love my **Genghis Blues** sountrack even though I haven’t seen the movie yet. I’ve been a fan of Tuvan throat signing for years. Mix in some blues and you’ve got one hell of an album. Also: Ennio Morricone’s **The Good the Bad and the Ugly** and **The Mission** Vangelis’s **Blade Runner** ---

I don’t have a big music collection, but from what I recall… Star Wars (original vinyl, man) The Spy Who Loved Me (I was just a kid!) Clockwork Orange (still cool to listen to) Amadeus (my favorite) Passion (awesome) Pump Up the Volume (eh…) Crow (eh…) oh yeah, and that Queen album that has many songs from Highlander. ---
