Hmm, instrumental scores I've bought: Get Shorty, Ravenous and Crash are the only ones I can think of on CD off the top of my head. I've got a few more on vinyl.
Plus a whole bunch of song-compilation soundtracks in both formats.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I know that some are all emotion, others are all spectacle, but Titanic seemed to do both and I appreciate that.
The part that always gets me is a background bit, where a family from steerage is trying to decipher the signs that point to the boat deck, and Dad has the translation book and is trying to be calm and help his family. Then I remember how few people from Steerage made it off, and it makes me want to just curl up.

Is Tubular Bells the Exorcist score, or is it just music used a little in the movie?
There is a whole album called Tubular Bells, by Mike Oldfield, but I don't know if it was pre or post movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, Mike's credited under Non-Original Music.
Okay -- so I scratch that from my owned score/soundtrack list.

Pre-movie, I think, but--Mike Oldfield!!! The Tubular Bells albums kick all sorts of butt. There's an orchestral version of the original album, then a 2nd Tubular Bells album, which has a guest stint for Alan Rickman doing a bit of narration. The credit lists "Wandering Player".

Seriously, it's all the background bits that kill me. When the old couple clutches each other in bed, as the water rushes in. When the Mom in steerage recites Winken, Blinken, and Nod to her kids, trying to get them to sleep. Those are the parts that really just make me sob.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I also get sad when the mom is telling her kids the story of Tiernan-Ogg while the ship is going down. It must have been very hard for third class parents to keep a brave facade while accepting their fate and not scaring their kids.

That's why I never made it through the movie.
Not because Alibelle's crying, silly, but because the real story of Titanic is sufficiently upsetting that a romance tacked on front irritates me. Now, I wouldn't go see a dramatisation of it either. I can honestly make do with documentaries and imagination.

Yep, same here.
However, I am terribly, terribly shallow, because the few times I have felt like watching Titanic again, it was to look at the pretty pretty costumes, and I turned off the DVD before the boat hits the iceberg.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Alibelle, I believe that that couple are supposed to be the Straus's, who gave up their spots on the lifeboats.
