This is a really fabulous collections of songs. There is a great balance of old and new. This isn't a collection from one single genre and the diversity keeps the mix interesting. It's great to hear songs that wouldn't normally be noticed while a movie is playing and it's also great to hear those easily recognizable tunes from popular movies.

a very nice CD filled with some of the finest film music ever produced. The Craig Armstrong piece is especially sumptuous and a real treat for the ears and soul. Nicely recorded with a wide detailed soundstage. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Stop looking. The absolute best collection of movie themes. Haunting, beautiful. I never tire listening. I only wish there was a sequel.
