There's been topics on soundtracks, but this one focuses specifically on the movie scores- ie, the symphony/non-vocal music actually used in the movies. What are some of your favorite movie/TV scores?
My list: 1. LOTR Trilogy 2. Futurama 3. Farscape 4. The British Whose Line Is It Anyways? 5. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 6. Matrix Trilogy scores 7. Ronin (The Robert DeNiro movie, not the anime) 8. One Hour Photo 9. Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust-anyone got a link to where I can get that score? 9. Harry Potter movies 10. Star Wars Quintology 11. Lawrence of Arabia 11. Master of the Flying Guillotine 12. Batman 13. Spiderman 14. Hellboy EDIT: 15. Snatch 16. Troy (even though it hasn't come out yet) ------------------

Originally posted by CyberKnight: Anything scored by John Williams, with "Star Wars" and "Jurassic Park" being standouts from standouts. Second! LOTR, Gladiator, Stargate and James Bond ones are cool too. As for game soundtracks Hitman 2, Earth 2150, Shogun and Total Annihilation.

I have to agree with people who mentioned John William's film scores, I'd add Jaws to the films he has done the music for
I'd also add Ennio Morricone's music in Sergio Leone's films, especially for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West

Gonna have to go with Kill Bill 1[not so much 2.. ], Finding Nemo, Star Wars '4-6' and Triplets of Belleville as my favorites. Also awesome are Barbarella, Rocky Horror, Fantasia[not so much 2000..] and the Disney movies already mentioned. I don't know why but I have a thing for movies like Bambi or Alice in Wonderland when they got choirs and the like to sing these long, uplifting notes in their songs. It all sounded like something you'd hear at a concert. Nowadays scoring is very different..

I also like the theme music from "TwinPeaks" and the original Theme from "Das Boot" (not the version of 1992 from U96).

Originally posted by Tweek: I'd also add Ennio Morricone's music in Sergio Leone's films, especially for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West I'd certainly agree with that. TGTBaTU is probably my favourite as far as overal theme goes, though I also like a fair few pieces from For a Few Dollars More. What I especially like about Ennio Morricone's work with Sergio Leone's films is that Ennio wrote the music first then Sergio shot the films around it. The Mission is very good too, but I personally don't think it stands alone as well as some of his other scores, in other words, sometimes you get scores that are glued to a film and only work if you can see what's going on, and there are other ones that a much more subtle, like Gladiator in particular and also Blade Runner, out of the ones I know. They can be listened to and enjoyed without ever watching the film. I still enjoy The Mission's music and still haven't seen the film, but I think it's slightly missing that magic of the Dollar Series' Ironic, isn't it, that sci-fi movies/shows normally have scores done very traditionally with big orchestras?
Blade Runner (sorry for repitition) brakes a trend, though it could be said that synthasised music was quite the vogue at the time. Fantastic score though. I found that Total Recall had a more contemporary score -ish, and was done by Jerry Goldsmith who of course did many Star Trek and similiar films. Really like that one too. Das Boot - though germanfryfan just beat me to it. /edit, nice to see another NRW PEELer
