I should just note too, that LOTR , as in the book, not the commodity, has inspired some great independent music over the years, all quite different... but as with everything America touches, it's been turned into another retarded, cliche market.

The same applies for art too, but unfortunately this has been taken over by an infinite sea of screen-capture mugs, shirts, pencils, toilet-paper, etc.



Sigh, I still haven't been able to find Starship Troopers, Jesse, except a few dodgy mp3s.

I will have to try to find the Equilibrium one, I can't remember the music, but such a great movie is sure to have great music

[McPherson]

28 days later had a good soundtrack, or rather, it fit the mood of the movie.

Yeah. Very good. What about:

Best OST composers: Henry Mancini (Breakfast at Tiffany´s, the Pink Panther, Hatari, Charade, Days of Wine and Roses, etc), Hans Zimmer (Gladiator, the peacemaker, etc), Vangelis (chariots of fire, blade runner, etc).
Good selection of songs: Blues Brothers, Trainspotting.

LOTR: sucks.

My favorite composers right now are John Williams, James Horner, and Jerry Goldsmith. My favorite soundtrack of James Horner's is "Krull", which in my opinion has 100% good music.

Conan the Barbarian

It's nice to know that I'm not the only person who recognizes that scores greatness. Its so barbarian and warlike in character. It makes great use of the combination of choral and orchestra. I hear the music from the scene where the village is attacked and I picture guys charging with battle axes. My younger brother noted that the music makes great use of percussion and that may contribute to its primitive and savage feel.

Conan

That film is amazing... Arnie sleeps with 3 women before he even says one word. Genius.

[Al-'Alim]

Has anyone heard the Imperial March Remix supposedly done by Metallica? It kicks some serious ass!

[Anarchocommunist]

Let's revisit this thread, but include some actual music:

David Shire's clever combination of jazz/funk and serial techniques:

Jerry Goldsmith channeling Stravinsky's Sym in 3 Mvts? Never mind, it's still good:

David Amram. Great movie, great score:

Wow this is an old thread, but I don't suppose it matters given the topic.

1492: Conquest of Paradise - Vangelis.

I like a lot of other soundtracks, perhaps more if I'm in a particular mood, but 1492 I can listen to almost whenever.

[Paradigm]

What, no Ken Burns fans in here?

I think this is one of the classic music moments from film history. Unfortunately Deliverance's reputation proceeded it so I knew what was coming later in the film, but I can imagine when it was first released this scene really sets up the viewer for a big fall.

Jerry Goldsmith is awesome. He wrote the score for First Blood. Great movie and great score.

[Soulflytribe]

The Melanesian Choirs from The Thin Red Line always take me to a parallel universe...

for some reason a lot of the music in battlestar galatica really resonates with me
