grumble Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Bladerunner- I dont care for the Jarre/Vangelis synthpop sound but Vangelis caught the mood of the film brilliantly, the 'Love Scene' remains one of my all time favourite pieces. Platoon - Lots of good tracks but the standout is the use of Barbers Adaggio in the ambush scene, if the audio/visual combination doesnt move you then I question your right to refer to yourself as human Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clauster Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) Some fo my favourites are already up here. Two that I don't think have had a mention - (editted to actually put them in!) 1. Pretty in Pink for similar reasons to the OP 2. O Brother, Where Art Thou? The film that made me realise country/bluegrass can actuallt be really good Edited November 1, 2010 by clauster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Vader Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Don't know if it's the best, but hasn't been mentioned, Almost Famous, nice use of Elton in the middle there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 The Thing and Alien have wonderfully atmospheric soundtracks. The woodwind in Alien sends chills down my spine. Schindler's list - one of very few films that has me welling up when I hear the score. Incredibley beautiful and profoundly sad piece of music. Star Wars! Full of incredible music. The original films, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cry little sister is a seriously great number. For me, Midnight run and Christine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray5 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Putting a bunch of pre-recorded various artists songs together in a movie has never quite seemed like a proper soundtrack to me although I grant it has worked in certain cases. Personally, for me, an original film score is where it's at. I could reel off a number of favourites including a few already mentioned here (and in similar threads). With that, I'd just say: +1 to Blade Runner. Also Star Wars (and other John Williams stuff - Close Encounters, E.T., etc). +1,000 to LOTR +1,000,000 to Ennio Morricone. "Once Upon A Time In America" brilliant. Especially "Deborah's Theme". One of my all-time favourites, though not a movie as such -- "Band of Brothers" (Michael Kamen).

risingson Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Props to Irish composer Patrick Cassady for writing this beautiful piece of music originally used in 'Hannibal' and later used in 'Kingdom of Heaven'.

I love David Lynch..... As already mentioned, any of Ennio Morricone's spaghetti westerns, Howard Shore's LOTR trilogy, pretty much anything by Thomas Newman with a particular nod towards American Beauty.

Jerry_B Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 'Repo Man' 'Solaris' (the modern version) 'Forbidden Planet' - waaaaay ahead of it's time. 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' 'Dirty Harry' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Some classics there. I'm gonna add a couple of funky classics (just because they're full of basslines) & a piece of history.
