2. Hello? Lord of the Rings! |

How can you skip that? I know Excalibur uses Tannahauser and other Wagner but what Howard Shore does in LOTR is really amazing.

It's just knights charging into battle to "Carmina Burana" gives me goosebumps.

You can't go wrong with Tangerine Dream and Bryan Ferry.

Yeah, I know, it's 'Science Fiction'... but if you call the Force 'Magic', and the lightsabers's 'Swords'...
Ben's Theme makes a great 'he's using magic, see' music... And the swordfight music in all 5 movies is quite good... And it's hard to beat Darth Vader's Theme (Imperial March) for the advancing of evil.

Now that I know Williams's influences, I can get all arrogant and snobbish and point out who he ripped off. :D
It's still a great soundtrack, though.
edit: And since there's sorcery and swordfighting, it may as well be a swords and sorcery movie.
