The instructed methodology (hitting "shuffle") in this very important question is blasphemous and insulting! Movie soundtracks and scores are far more important than this capricious question indicates!

First, one must identify the composer they most admire, or at least feel most comfortable with. For me, the top 3 are easy...Hans Zimmer, John Williams, and James Horner. Of course Thomas Newman, James Newton Howard, Jerry Goldsmith, Trevor Rabin, and many others are just as important.

To pick a movie soundtrack? Hmmm...with commercial songs, you can't get a much better soundtrack than Forrest Gump's eclectic mix of original and commercial tunes. If you're a classic rock fan, then perhaps just sticking with the soundtrack from Dazed and Confused is the way to go.

However for a purely original-score approach, I'd have to say that I would be more than happy to have my life themed to the ridiculously awesome original scores found in Braveheart, Gladiator, or the Bourne Supremacy. Few soundtracks are so good from beginning to end while also hitting on every level from romance to war.

Just hit shuffle.........BAH!

PS. Your answer to #15 I thought was pretty good!

Psst. 89th. It's a silly game! Get over it!

But yes, if I had to hire someone to score the movie about my life, I'd pick John Williams.

I know 89th. I probably should have thrown a smiley in there as well.

But I think as punishment you should do this soundtrack thing! :D

He's just upset, because he tried it and his end credits came up with Natural Woman by Diana Ross.
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.
