The soundtrack of my life..

If there is one thing I love there has to be movie soundtrack/score. It brings the right mood to a movie (or even make a terrible movie tolerable). It can be sad or scary, funny or give you that feeling of anger. Where would the movies be, if it werent for the lovely composers making the perfect sound for it? or the men/woman putting together old songs to fit so perfectly into a new movie?


It's hard to choose, but here is some of my favourite scores/soundtracks (represented by one song from each movie):



Farväl Falkenberg by Erik Enocksson



The Lord of the Rings by Howard Shore



Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain by Yann Tiersen



Pirates of the Caribbean by Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt

Pride & Prejudice by Dario Marianelli



Atonement by Dario Marianelli

Elizabeth the Golden Age by Craig Amstrong & Ar Rahman




Love Actually by Craig Armstrong and various artists

Jeg syns Gosford Park-soundtracket virker bra også jeg. Han som sang og spilte piano, var så fine sanger:)
