TrampledUnderFoot Posted March 6, 2005 Report 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.
_Annabelle_ Posted March 6, 2005 Report 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".
OLD 55 Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Thanks Edna. It's good to know that ONE person read it, and who could ask for a nicer person than you !
