Page 1 of Favourite Movie Theme/Score?

So then, what`s your favourite movie them/score? I`m influenced to write this thread after listening to a compilation earlier, and I`m still pretty much undecided. In my opinion some of the scores written for films are by far the best classical music around. So anyway...

My Top 6:-
LOTR - Fellowship
Gladiator
The Green Mile
Forrest Gump
Star Wars
Indiana Jones

LOTR-FOTR
Platoon- Samuel Barbers Adagio for strings
The Killing Fields- Mike Oldfield Year Zero etc.
Schindlers List- No idea who wrote the soundtrack
Fantasia- various

JMHO folks :-)

>Schindlers List- No idea who wrote the soundtrack

I`m guessing John Williams maybe?

Yup just checked it was John Williams , silly boy that I am :-)

Let me just check which CD`s I actually shelled out for...

Blade Runner (Vangelis) never strays far from my CD player so that has to be my fave.

Other soundtracks that I`m impressed by

Heat
Sneakers
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Star Wars: Episode V
Fifth Element

Basically anything by John Williams, James Horner or Ennio Morricone is always impressive.

For sheer eightiesness I like

Beverly Hills Cop
Bill & Ted`s Excellent Adventure
Ghostbusters
Footloose
Top Gun

And for some strange reason, I like the Titan AE soundtrack.
Sorry about that. :-)

Blade Runner - Vangelis
Memento - David Sylvian
Crash - Howard Shore
The Phantom Menace - John Williams
Platoon / The Elephant Man - Samuel Barbers Adagio For Strings
Insomnia - David Sylvian
Total Recall - (The Dream) Jerry Goldsmith

Anything that used a srong strings/wind section always gets my vote. Braveheart and gladiator always bring a tear to my eye. There are just too many to mention.

But my favourote opening track has to be Jay and silent bob strike back. Apologies to the purists, but that creases me up every time

Donnie Brasco

Ahh, good call ironduke, I loved that soundtrack.
Just a pity you can`t buy the full thing on cd though.
They said on the dvd commentary that they`d never be able to afford all the rights to each track.

The Godfather . You know the final scene on the steps? Brings more than a lump to my throat evry time i see it.

Got to agree with you fellers on Bladerunner as well though.

ATB...F...
