I Hosted / Produced a film soundtrack radio show for about 8 years. I played rare, unreleased, bootlegs, studio tapes, composer promos, limited editions and anything most people can't own.I have well over 2,000 film soundtracks. My show won local people's choice awards, and even DICK CLARK sent me a personally signed photo (He started in radio).Too many for me to name.

Wow,that's cool,Coop!2,000?I guess you don't have to worry about not having music.I mostly buy soundtracks myself because I like to get the exact music I want,rather than buy a cd where you get the song you want and 15 or so terrible songs.I also like Giorgio Morolder,I found the Scarface soundtrack,which is okay but lacking.Of course I like Jan Hammer as well.

Rather than listing individual songs (which would take too long for me to even start to think of), I'll instead say:-The entire Top Gun soundtrack is nearly flawless. One of my favorites to play in the car (though I may have to turn "Playing With The Boys" down a bit if the windows aren't up).-Giorgio Mororder's 1984 soundtrack for the 1927 film "Metropolis" is awesome. I believe it only went out of print fairly recently, but it should be easy enough to find used cheap online.
