The title pretty much says its all. What is your favorite soundtrack?

I would have to say Garden State is really damn good. But films that have great scores are also up there...basically John Williams is a god

Definitely the best OST with non-orchestral music, but I quite enjoy the soundtrack for A Beautiful Mind by James Horner, Band Of Brothers by Michael Kamen, and Gladiator by Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard.

John Williams a god? Hmm, right. I mean, there are plenty of decent movie soundtracks, Gladiator comes readily to mind, but none that I remember are masterpieces.

Not an actual god...but you know what I am getting at. He has written so many soundtracks..and they are all excellent.
