Day 09 - A movie with the best soundtrack

Another hard one. Do I pick Angels in America? Little Women? Another movie with Thomas Newman music? He is my favorite screen composer, after all.



Once I thought about it, though, there's really no competition. In addition to being full of cello music (and Paul Bettany, playing the cello), this is the movie that introduced me to Ralph Vaughn Williams' Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis a.k.a. the saddest tune ever written (second place: Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings).
