My brother bought the Paris Texas soundtrack and I listened to it for years before I actually saw the film. I pretty much knew the “these two people” verbatim by the time it came up in the film. Strange feeling when that moment happens.

I think most musical ones, I don’t like musicals at all but the songs are overplayed so you end up hearing them without watching the film or stage versions

Clint Mansell’s soundtrack for The Fountain.

The whole film builds to the song Mogwai play on. It was like watching a really expensive visualiser.

There’s probably loads of films Morricone scored which I’ve never seen even though I know the music. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly being the leading example.

Riz Ortolani’s score for Cannibal Holocaust. The score is much better than the film.

Peter’s Friends - my parents had the soundtrack CD, and that was my introduction to songs like The King of Rock ‘N’ Roll, What’s Love Got to Do With It and Don’t Get Me Wrong.
