I look forward to doing so. Have all the other movies on DVD. Do you have any of the John Williams' scores? They are all very nice. I can heartily recommend Prisoner of Azkaban as my favorite.
The immediately recognizable "Hedwig's Theme" (Harry's owl) is a beautiful and bewitching piece. "Buckbeak's Flight" transports you with Harry soaring in the clouds and skimming the water. "The Whomping Willow" begs to be cranked wide open. The dynamics are striking in this emotional piece.
Nice music!

Willimas did fine work on HP. I think POA is the best HP soundtrack and the best HP film, by far.
The first film's soundtrack is good too. COS was not actually composed by Williams, so it's not as strong IMO.
The last two films were scored by a different compposer.
I enjoued this latest film quite a bit. second best HP film so far.
I find anything by John Williams to be worth considering. Ever since the first Star Wars movie (Episode 4), I have found him to be a very gifted composer. I am a big fan of movie soudtracks anyway, and find that most people dont really appreciate them as much as they should. A great amount of excellent music is found on movie soundtracks. It really makes or breaks a lot of films.
Other current favorites of mine are "Memoirs of a Geisha" (also Williams) and "Lemony Snickett" from Thomas Newman. Both have some very tasty sonic moments.

I need a copy of the "Christmas Vacation" soundtrack....I understand it is quite rare.
I looked for it when that movie came out and have yet to find one.
Any ideas?

Usually Amazon can get most anything, but can only locate the soundtrack for the original movie.
