POTC- "Marry Me" - Hans Zimmer
This suite is a previously unreleased track from the POTC: Soundtrack Treasures Collection, and comes from the third film: At World's End. I love all the different themes that it encompasses from the film, and it is a perfect piece to listen to when studying. 
LOTR- "Lord of the Rings Suite" - Howard Shore
The Lord of the Rings is a favourite of mine, and I believe that Howard Shore created a soundtrack as diverse and enchanting as the films and books themselves. From the elven melodies to the sharp contrasts of Sauron and the orcs the music from this franchise has so much to offer to any listener.
My Best Friend's Wedding- "Garden Chase"- James Newton Howard
This piece captures the exciting end chase of the film adding to the humour and pace of the scene. It is sums up this film so well for me, and makes me want to watch it again and again! 
The Young Victoria- "Letters from Victoria"- Ilan Eshkeri
This piece captures the new and blossoming relationship between Victoria and Albert and is my favourite piece from the film. It is delicate and graceful, but has a sense of uncertainty at the end, reflecting both the purity and complexity of their feelings for one another which others are trying to control. 
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves- "Suite"- Michael Kamen
This piece is full of exciting music, capturing the action and adventure of this film. I love to listen to it as motivation before I start an essay or uni work, and it also helps me get out of bed in the morning. This piece has been used on many adverts and film trailers, most recently by Disney, and is one of Kamen's best works. 
Batman- "A Dark Knight"- Hans Zimmer
The score written for the latest Batman trilogy is full of adrenaline pumped themes and also softer and more sorrowful parts, both complementing the films perfectly. 
Romeo + Juliet- "Balcony Scene"- Craig Armstrong
Hauntingly beautiful, this piece perfectly captures the passionate but doomed love of Romeo and Juliet. It is atmospheric and soothing, but also full of explosions of romance: it is a true and beautiful expression of this emotional tale. 
Titanic- "The Portrait"- James Horner
This piece is one of my favourites to both listen to and play and its beauty is in its movement and flow. This is a great piece to listen to when you are drifting off into a pleasant daydream or going to sleep. 
Last of the Mohicans - "Cora" - T. Jones and R. Edelman
The music of this film enhances both the films setting and the stories of the characters, developing their emotions in a way that words can not. 
Peter Pan - "Flying"- James Newton Howard
This is one of those magical pieces that captures both the childhood fantasies of the listener and the excitement of the scene with the music reflecting the happy thoughts, and pinch of pixie dust, that Peter uses to teach Wendy, John and Michael to fly.
