Filmtracks.com (launched 24 September 1996) is a modern film score review website created and maintained out of Rock Springs, Wyoming by its sole reviewer, Christian Clemmensen. Since the launch of Filmtracks in 1996, the website has reviewed nearly two-thousand soundtracks dating as far back as 1954, though the website's focus is primarily those composed after 1975.

In October 2000, Entertainment Weekly's Erin Podolsky gave the website an 'A' rating and called it "A MUST-VISIT". In April 2001, Filmtracks was also named Associate of the Month by Amazon.com.
