Top 50 Favorite Movie Soundtracks (20-11)

Getting near the end now and this next ten will probably make a few people go, "what, really?!"  Even as I put this post together I second guessed myself a few times, but I did not change the order from what I originally had(for today at least).  I will be giving a one sentence praise for each too, since they are in the top 20 and all.

20. To Kill A Mockingbird: Elmer Bernstein

The main theme to this movie makes me think of a exhale of relief, followed by a smile.
Listen to This: Main Titles, Boo Who?, End Title

19. Field of Dreams: James Horner

I don't think I can get through the last scene of this movie without crying, and the music does not help me hold in the tears.  
Listen to This: The Cornfield, The Drive Home, The Place Where Dreams Come True

18. Naqoyqatsi: Philip Glass, featuring Yo-Yo Ma

Philip Glass always delivers and this soundtrack is one of his best with songs that I have trouble not finishing.
Listen to This: Naqoyqatsi, Primacy of Number, Intensive Time

17. The Silence of the Lambs: Howard Shore

 This music makes my spine tingle and it is one of the first soundtracks I became obsessed with back in middle school.  
Listen to This: Main Title, Lambs Screaming, Finale

16. Batman/Batman Returns: Danny Elfman

I prefer this soundtrack to The Dark Knight Trilogy, and I may prefer the first Batman to The Dark Knight...
Listen to This: The Batman Theme, Descent Into Mystery, Selina Transforms

15. Donnie Darko: Michael Andrews

Most people don't come away from Donnie Darko thinking that it has a great soundtrack, but I'm not really like most people.
Listen to This: Carpathian Ridge, Liquid Spear Waltz, Time Travel

14. Moon: Clint Mansell

When I heard the first few piano notes to the soundtrack I knew this movie was going to be great.  
Listen to This: Welcome to Lunar Industries, Memories (Someone we'll never know), Sacrifice

13. The Shawshank Redemption: Thomas Newman

Thomas Newman has received ten academy award nominations for best score and has not won any, even for his masterpiece, The Shawshank Redemption.
Listen to This: Shawshank Redemption (Stoic Theme), Zihuatanejo, Shawshank Redemption

12. Once Upon a Time in the West: Ennio Morricone

Ennio Morricone's best score, to Sergio Leone's best film, which is also the greatest western, ever.
Listen to This: Once upon a time in the West, Man With A Harmonica, A Dimly Lit Room

11. Braveheart: James Horner

Gift Of a Thistle is relaxing, Sons Of Scotland is inspiring and 'Freedom' / The Execution Bannockburn gets my heart pumping.  Greatness.
Listen to This: A Gift Of A Thistle, 'Sons Of Scotland', 'Freedom' / The Execution Bannockburn
