Yeah, I got ROTK on iTunes. It's the only one they had at the time. I didn't check again to see if they had the first two.

Got ya. I've got the CDs and then just put them into iTunes. I also have the theatrical edition OST. Then of course both for The Hobbit.
 
There's no denying that John Williams is a giant when it comes to soundtracks, so I'm going to pick a few of my other favorites.

Maurice Jarre's soundtrack to Lawrence of Arabia is truly epic.

Gerry Goldsmith's scores for Planet of the Apes and ALIEN.

The Akira soundtrack is fantastic.

And obviously, Blade Runner. I have 5 or 6 different versions of it.

Hard to pick my favorite soundtrack. Conan The Barbarian, First Blood, Batman and Tron: Legacy are up there.

My favorite soundtrack song would be Ennio Morricone's The Sundown/Il Tramonto from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It's a short but full of emotion.

Most of the 50's and 60's Godzilla films, including ALL the work from the 1954 classic Gojira, and others such as Kong's village music from King Kong vs Godzilla and the classis Godzilla march.

The Lion King
The Last Samurai

Jurassic Park theme
E.T. theme
Star Wars (especially Battle of the Heroes and the Phantom MEnace music)

Inglourious Basterds main theme

Awesome that Vangelis was mentioned. I actually enjoy his main theme from "1492"

Another great one of his:

My favourite part from 1:30 to 2:30 - real hairs standing up stuff.

Also like this one:

Superman The Movie

**** yes.

Also John Ottman did a great job on Superman Returns:

^0:19 onward is more inspiring than anything in MOS and its just a hint of the Williams theme and the following track is a triumph. Any Superman movie without this calibre of music is handicapped from the off.
