PS: u know of any pieces that get into that......tranquil, celestial mood? plenty of strings....i cant really explain it...here...on youtube, search up Way of the sword- Last Samurai ost, and journey to the line-Thin red line ost.....the thing im talking about is in the later half of these two songs.....any ideas?

Thanks a bundle guys, any help would be AWESOME. Thx ^^
- Nathan, uber soundtrack lover.

hey all, i've been collecting soundtraqcks for many years now...my fav tracks being those that have a sad/meloncholy tone. i've got soundtracks stretching from lord of the rings to white squall...a ton...however i am starting to run out of new soundtracks to find...(every movie i ever watch now, im listening to the score)...anyone able to assist? any soundtracks or songs you think i may have missed? (if its like a mainstream movie...something like gladiator, last samurai, or LOTR......i got it.........so probably stuff that comes out of less-known flicks, or b-movies...or just stuff you think is so good you need to share it ^.^) Some people have actually given my some tracks from anime cartoons which were absolutely 'superb'...some more of those would be AWESOME ^.^
Examples of a few (just to give you a flavor of what i mean):
- the way of the sword 2nd half- last samurai ost
- coffey on the mile- green mile ost
- end titles- lady in the water ost
- now we are free 2nd half- gladiator ost
- coryhinus (something like that)- batman begins ost

Thanks all, looking forward to hearing your ideas and opinions ^.^

Jussumdude--don't know if you're checking back at all, but here are some good ones:

Eleni Karaiandrou--Ulysses' Gaze ost. The 10th track is a nice suite of laments, but the whole disc is pretty sad.
Michael Kamen--Iron Giant ost. "No Following"
Akira Senju--The Mystery of Rampo ost. Love Theme, Main Titles
Ennio Morricone--Once Upon a Time in America theme, Gabriel's Oboe from The Mission
Clint Mansell--Requiem for a Dream ost. Winter: Lux Aeterna
Anne Dudley--American History X ost. Benedictus, Two Brothers--a lot of this soundtrack is lush sad strings work.

One that isn't a soundtrack, but has the kind of Thin Red Line strings you're looking for is John Tavener's Tears of the Angels.

Here are a few I believe you might like:
- First Snow - Clint Mansell (The Fountain)
- The Half Killed - Dario Marianelli (Atonement)
- Una Princesa and Ofelia - Javier Navarette (Pan's Labyrinth)
- The Poet Acts - Philip Glass (The Hours)
- Mathilde's Theme - Angelo Badalamenti (A Very Long Engagement)

There's also Chevaliers de Sangreal by Hans Zimmer (The Da Vinci Code) which I'm almost sure you're gonna like.

A few additional suggestions

These are all wonderful suggestions. A few others that may fit the bill of sad or at least reflective:

Ice Dance - Edward Scissorhands (Danny Elfman)
Carol Anne's Theme - End Credits - Poltergeist (Jerry Goldsmith)
Rain in Venice - Brideshead Revisited (Geoffrey Burgeon)
Sunrise - Stay Gold - The Outsiders (Carmine Coppola/Bill Hughes)
Ballroom Suite - Witches of Eastwicke (John Williams)

And if you really want to suffocate in the throes of realizing that time is fleeting and we're all here only a few brief seconds, and how magical your past has been and if you want to experience that almost child-like wonder of wanting to go back in time:
Peggy Sue's Homecoming - Peggy Sue Got Married (John Barry)
And of course, almost any track from Somewhere in Time, also by Barry.
