Across the BBC this Autumn we’re celebrating The Sound of Cinema – the greatest music to have emerged from the big screen, and this week on Now Playing we want you to help us create the Ultimate Film Soundtrack Playlist.
There's a whole host of TV and radio programming exploring the music which has emerged from film - and culminates in the BBC Concert Orchestra performing the best soundtrack, as chosen by you on Friday, September 27. You can vote here.
But what will you pick for our special playlist put together live on Sunday's show?

But what will you pick for our special playlist put together live on Sunday's show?
- How about one of the big, epic pieces from Star Wars or Apocalypse Now
- Something picked by Quentin Tarantino featured in one of his various films from Pulp Fiction to Kill Bill
- Music made specifically for the cinema by already popular musicians – like Daft Punk, Clint Mansell or Johnny Marr
- Tracks which have been reinvented in film thanks to the likes of Trainspotting, Human Traffic or Billy Elliott
- Music you think should be used in a film perhaps
- Or read this blog from John Das about The Music That Made The Movies for extra inspiration
As always you pick the music, so let us know what you want to hear by leaving a comment here or on our Facebook page, Tweet #BBCSoundofCinema6Music, send us an email with your suggestion and reason to nowplaying@bbc.co.uk or add tracks to our collaborative Spotify or Rdio playlists.
