    I had high hopes for the 300 OST, but I felt a bit let down with the overall production.

    I play trumpet, and for concerts my friends and I play Star Wars music for our special piece. My favorite from the book is "The Throne Room"

    Of course there's classic stuff like William's Star Wars but the first score that comes to my mind and is probably my favorite is Bernard Herrmann's Taxi Driver.

    Only one I have ever bought on cd was 1992's Bram Stoker's Dracula...(Coppola version)

    I love it!

    Other than that, I like the Star Wars, Superman, & Indiana Jones themes.

    Absolute, top of the top favorite: Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan. The fanfarish power of James Horner's seafaring-style music throughout that film just made it sooo much more fun. This is a symphonic score that really completes the film; I don't think anyone could have done as fantastic a job putting together the score for this film.

    Other favorites:
    -The Star Wars scores (all 6, lumped together), John Williams
    -The Rocketeer, James Horner
    -The Matrix trilogy (again, all 3, lumped together), Don Davis & co.
    -The Battlestar Galactica series music, Bear McCreary
    -The more recent 007 soundtracks (including work by David Arnold)

    I have to agree with you there... And for any of you guys who chose or just enjoy anything from James Horner, the FF12 soundtrack has a lot of Horner-inspired tunes, hell there are even cues from Wrath of Kahn and Krull.

    The Phone Coast music in particular is fantastic.
