[HPFGU-Movie] Movie soundtracks

[Karen Chuplis]

I only have PoA and GoF of the Potter movies. I really like the 
soundtrack for GoF. A LOT.  It saved my workday yesterday as I had to 
edit a very boring customer service manual. It made it an enjoyable 
task to have GoF in the background. I absolutely LOVE the Durmstrang 
music. However, maybe my two favorite tracks are The Black Lake and 
Death of Cedric. Hard to choose though because I love the Hogwart's 
Hymn too. Such lovely suspensions in the cadences.

Does anyone recommend the first two soundtracks at all? PoA is good, 
but its not as attractive to me as GoF.

I own lots of soundtracks and love listening to them, especially when 
working or working out. I just usually get more gumption from them. I 
actually love my Seabiscuit soundtrack almost above all others. I agree 
that Star Wars was the "breakout" soundtrack. I wore that album as well 
as Close Encounters OUT.  The key to recognizing themes, I think, is 
just to do a lot of listening. Then when  you go back to the movie, 
they will begin to pop out at you. I can't recommend an iPod shuffle 
enough as an inexpensive way to keep two or three soundtracks with you 
at all times :D
