TrampledUnderFoot Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Both Shrek movies have fab soundtracks. I suppose of I had to pick one it'd be Alleluia from the first one. Love that song. I like both the Shrek soundtracks too! But my favorite is I Need Some Sleep by Eels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Annabelle_ Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Annabelle, Wouldn't you agree that a rolling ten year period of music from 1963 - 73 would rank right up there. Definitely. I also like the jazzy theme and score of Bullitt (1968) by Lalo Schifrin, and Nino Rota's beautiful score from The Godfather (1972), especially "Love Theme".
