No society that feeds its children on tales of successful violence can expect them not to believe that violence in the end is rewarded. -Margaret Mead, anthropologist (1901-1978)

trollprincess: 1. Black Hawk Down Favouritest soundtrack ever. Wonderful blend of western techno with eastern beats and the despair and franticness of the instrumentals matches the tone of the film perfectly. Wonderful vocals done by Lisa Gerrard and others, and brilliant use of the track "Minstrel Boy" sung by Joe Strummer.
2. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Brilliant music by Howard Shore, once again capturing not only the tone of the film, but also the characteristics of the different races. The best soundtrack to listen to whilst doing homework (the track for the Bridge of Khazad Dum is brilliant for keeping students awake at 3 in the morning.) It also introduces most of the leitmotifs seen in the following soundtracks.
3. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King sees the maturation and completion of the leitmotifs. This one beats out Two Towers because of Billy Boyd and Viggo Mortensen's singing. Silly fangirl.
4. King Arthur A good strong soundtrack- no faffing about on this one. Captures the mood of the film, and has interesting beats. The drawback for me here is that it's lacking a proper version of Vanora's song, and has the silly "Tell me now" on it. Bah.
5. Pirates of the Carribean just makes me want to get up and dance like a pirate. Not that pirates dance, but you could do a neat little jig to this one.
6. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers <3 the introduction to Rohan on here. Has to be my favouritest track in the entire movie. Also the eerily haunting ending, sung my Emiliana Torrini (sp?)
7. The Faculty so much love. It's not really an outstanding collection of songs, but they work so well together and in the movie perfectly.
8. Les Triplets de Belleville Okay, the title track is awesome. So are the cariations and the selections from the movie. And it makes me sing along ever. Damn. Time. "je veux etres givres, triplements givres, givres comme une triplet de Belleville." Yeehaw.
9.Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? I love traditional/bluegrass music, and this is just a treat.
10. Moulin Rouge just because.
Neil Gaiman will be in Minneapolis, signing copies of Anansi Boys, the day after my birthday. I think that I should be there.
I'm having trouble typing, because my arm is still sore from yesterday. Needless to say, transcribing didn't go so well today.
Also, am I the only one slightly freaked out that The Weakerthans are on the Wedding Crashers soundtrack? I mean, yay for them and all, but still. Dude?
