fauxfilm noir. Much credit for that aura of sensuality and danger goes to John Barry's use of sultry jazz flavorings over a rich orchestra to convey that crucial, albeit clammy, sense of sophistication and doom. This near carbon copy of the original soundtrack may allow listeners to suspend disbelief at times, but one senses that dreary blurring of instruments usually associated with many live-concert-performance recordings. Instead of sultry smoke, listeners may be frustrated to find their cinema memories lost in a sonic fog that a horny saxophone cannot clear.--Joseph Lanza

Advantages: Helps you re-live a fantastic series Disadvantages: Some tracks do end sharply or repeat others
...For anyone who is totally addicted to Doctor Who - this album is for you. If you thought Series 1&2 original sound track was good, then this will blow you away.
Murray Gold has excelled himself once again, delivering a soundtrack high in passionate imagination-capturing content that really will take you back to The Doctor and his adventures.
The Album begins with All the Strange Strange creatures, which is a compliation of all the generalised music used in many episodes in the series. There are also more episode-specific tracks like Evolution of the Daleks and Boe. But some of these do end sharply (as heard in the TV series) and over lap into some of the more general themes.
There is also a track called The Doctor Forever which is done in similar vain to All the Strange, Strange Creatures and covers all the "Doctor" music used...

Advantages: It reminds you of Patrick Swayze! Disadvantages: It reminds you of Patrick Swayze!!
...Hey I don't think that I actually need to write anything here for the people who have seen Dirty Dancing, as they will I'm sure have loved it (even if the guys pretended they didnt!). The soundtrack is fantastic, it takes you back to the film, lets you relive the emotions, and of course you know all the moves after the film! It includes the fantastic "bridge solo" Breakout and of course the classic 'I've had the time of my life' which will either make you dance or cry!
If you have never heard the soundtrack nor seen the film, my advice to you is to go find it, you wont have to look very hard as someone will have it! watch it, love it, relive it with the soundtrack...

Advantages: Every one can sing along Disadvantages: Chitty Bang Bang Repeated 5 Times
...Got this one fairly cheaply at HMV for £8.99 recently.
With Sixteen tracks on this Compact Disc sung by the original artists from the film including Dick Van Dyke, Sally Ann Howes, Lional Jefferies,Gert Frobe, Anna Quayle, this makes an excellent additional purchase to the film, if you haven't got time to watch the film again.
With timeless classics including Toot Sweets, Hushabye Mountain (Twice), Chitty Bang Bang (5 times) think that might be a bit of over kill and it does get a bit tedious towards the end of the compact Disc when it is played twice in sucsession, Me ole Bamboo, (which is my personal favourite), Truly Scrumptious (which by the way is Sung on a nudist beach in the South of France, near San Tropez !, which I have visited but kept my clothes on !!)
I put this one on for my 3 year old daughter when it is time...
