Now here’s a curious list from Entertainment Weekly magazine. Described as the best American soundtracks it includes music from A Hard Day’s Night, Once Upon a Time in the West, Oliver! and others which are really not American films. It’s good to see some entries here where the film’s not been that well received but the soundtracks are excellent, such as Morricone’s stunning work for The Mission and John Barry’s beautiful score for Out of Africa.
