I'm talking about the ones commissioned for the movie, not the collection of songs slung together from the vast choice available from recording history.

Off the top, mine are:

Last Tango In Paris
Three Colours Blue
The Third Man

Philip Glass did the Illusionist? I had no idea. It's a shame that the end of the movie was so "Usual Suspects."

I never got around to seeing the Fountain, but I think Clint Mansell's work on Requiem was excellent. I also liked Yann Tierson's Amelie and Jon Brion's Eternal Sunshine.

Anyways, I agree with some of the abovementioned selections, so I won’t repeat them, but I will add:

Philip Glass: Anima Mundi
Danny Elfman: Batman

Jon.
