It's difficult to narrow down the list to just 10, but I'll try. These are not necessarily the "best" out there, but the ones that have played important roles in my film score journey and I keep revisiting most frequently. 1. The Lion King (Hans Zimmer) 2. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Howard Shore) 3. Jurassic Park (John Williams) 4. Dinosaur (James Newton Howard) 5. Titanic (James Horner) 6. Spider-Man (Danny Elfman) 7. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (Hans Zimmer) (the complete version, not the OST) 8. Enthiran (A.R. Rahman) 9. Up (Michael Giacchino) 10. Aladdin (Alan Menken)

An EP containing score tracks from the critically acclaimed film Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life has been released today. It's just 15 minutes long but the music is really exquisite. I really like this track in particular:

Many happy returns of the day, respected maestro Williams. Stay blessed and be happy always.

Signed.

The full score album for Ponniyin Selvan has been released. It is an excellent blend of orchestral/choral material with classical Indian music. Looking forward to @Thor's opinion on the album. 😊

The first album for A.R. Rahman's score for Mani Ratnam's epic film duology Ponniyin Selvan (PS 1 and 2) has been released today. I haven't seen the films yet, but really liked what's been released so far. Just listen to that opening orchestral action cue. 😎

Dead Man's Chest is actually my #2 most favourite PoTC score, right behind At World's End. The official release is rather short and has a really poor selection of cues from the film. The full film score has great variations of all the themes and some really cool action/dramatic material.

I really like the unreleased music from the angler fish and seagull chase scenes from Finding Nemo. Would be cool if they do release a Legacy Collection edition this year or sometime in the future.

That's so much better. 😎

Maybe one CD will have both English+Japanese songs and the other CD will be a proper score album? We'll have to wait and see. Dunno why Disney is not properly releasing Mr. Menken's scores now.

Apparently a deluxe edition is scheduled to be released in June - https://vgmdb.net/album/129448 Hopefully it will have additional score tracks and not just more pop songs.

In the comments section of the Disenchanted score suite on Disney Records' official YouTube channel, soneone posted this track list: Disenchanted (Original Score) Music By: Alan Menken Tracklist: 32 Length: 1 Hour and 23 Minutes 1.

Disenchanted Score Suite Could this be genuine? Maybe a planned official release or an FYC?

It has to be Warriors of Heaven and Earth, I guess. All of his older film soundtracks I can think of had only one or two score tracks on them at the most. His first Indian soundtrack to feature a significant amount of score (around 30 minutes) has to be Bose: The Forgotten Hero (2005). (And personally I hate it when they refer to film scores as "background music" here!)

1. John Williams 2. Hans Zimmer 3. James Newton Howard 4. Alan Menken 5. A.R. Rahman 6. Danny Elfman 7. James Horner 8. Alan Silvestri 9. John Powell 10. Michael Giacchino

I actually visit here almost everyday but only post occasionally. 😊 Looking forward to your views on the score!

The newly released score album of Kochadaiiyaan (A.R. Rahman). A powerful orchestral/choral score that I highly recommend to everyone.

A.R. Rahman's score to the 2014 epic film Kochadaiiyaan has finally received an official release today. It is a rich, thematic orchestral/choral score and really a dream come true for me. I had been waiting for this since 9 years. Highly recommended for everyone.

Watched the movie today and enjoyed it a lot, personally. The score was great too, especially during the action scenes. And the end credits cue (Hymenoptera on the album, I believe) was delightful to listen to in the theater!

Happy Birthday, respected maestro Williams. Wishing you all the happiness and good health in the world. 😊

It was disappointing that quite a few notable tracks from the second score were LP-exclusive. Hopefully this time Mondo will release the expanded version on CD as well.

I really like all of them (haven't heard Newsies yet, though) but my all-time favourite is Aladdin.

Both of them are up on Qobuz now.

Just came back after watching the movie, went through the soundtrack album for the first time. The score was alright and had some cool highlights. It's nice that the train attack cue will be included in the upcoming expanded album, I liked that one a lot. I was delighted when the Thanator Chase music from the first score played in one of the action scenes. I really like that cue personally. Hoping for an official expanded Avatar release mainly to have it in proper quality.

I've wanted the complete score, especially the film version of Parade Attack (with the alternate section not present in the leaked version) since I was 13. Cannot express how happy and grateful I am for this release. It is definitely one of my all-time favourites from Danny Elfman. I too hope this paves the way for an eventual release of the complete Spidey 2 and 3 scores.

I too hope there is a separate score album released. This was one of my most anticipated scores this year and I was very disappointed to see that it received only a score suite on the album.
