Movie Soundtracks

Started by Thomas H2 pages

matrix 1 has some cool songs

I think the best John Williams theme has to be Jaws.

That tune IS the shark!

And to LimeLight - yay! I had a feeling NOBODY would think Ghostbusters soundtrack was cool, but yay! anyway.

I could have listed more, for instance I think the theme to Terminator 2 is just awesome.

Speaking of T2 - I love that music that plays whenever T-1000 appears. It's like a "huuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrn" noise and it's freakin awesome. T3 didn't have anything as cool as that. T3 sucks anyway.

I also like Spiderman soundtrack - I really liked Hero by Chad Kroeger, and Aerosmiths rendition of the classic Spiderman theme rocks.

Then there's Back to The Futures soundtrack. You've got "Power Of Love" by Huey Lewis, "Johnny B Goode" by Marty himself and "Double Back" by ZZ Top, and "Back In Time" - brilliant.

Also, Danny Elfman rocks. I seriously hope he returns to do the new Batman movies music - because I cant imagine a proper Batman movie without it - even the cartoon had it. He also did Beetlejuice and Tales Of The Crypt, and Sleepy Hollow, Spiderman and, erm, The Simpsons lol

I still say Jurassic Park is probably the best Movie theme ever. Not soundtrack but theme. Like the main music.

star wars, lotr, ..gladiator, brave heart.....gone in 60 secs....cthd....lots of movies with good STs

Ooo, mad, someone else who likes Braveheart!! 😛 😄

oooh, fav soundtracks!!!

I love everything by John Barry - bond scores with connery, dances with wolves, chaplin, zulu, the wrong box, ipcress file, etc

bernard herrmann - hitchcock classics - north by northwest is a favourite, as is vertigo (as films AND scores)

love old scores too - Alex North's Spartacus and Cleopatra, Rozsa's Ben-Hur, Bernsteins' The Great Escape, and Tiomkin's The Alamo, Guns of Naverone, Gunfight at the ok corral!

Damn, list is endless

Best film score in the past twenty years (well, since Star Wars) has to be lord of the rings trilogy, which in plays betters J Williams' classic stuff.
I am not a fan of pop tune scores like Kill Bill. I prefer the classical touch of an orchestra.

top 10:

Spartacus
North By Northwest
You Only Live Twice
Psycho
Lord of the Rings
Star Wars
The Alamo (1960)
Vertigo
Ben Hur
Superman the movie

I love most Jerry goldsmith scores.

anything by Ennio Moricone

Kill Bill, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Gladiator(my studying music), in fact, most stuff by Hans Zimmer is my studying music.

Hans Zimmer rock...The Rock and Black HAwk Down are very impressing!

im not sure about any were else but in australia, the trailer on tv, for UnderWorld, i love that song, but i dont know what it is called, some one plz help me and tell me what it is called.

john williams has great music. not just star wars but also the patriot.

2pac resserection is a bad ass soundtrack.

I just love that guys music. He does most of the soundtracks for Spielburg's and Lucas's movies, and has done some great musical pieces in the past. He's probably the best classical composer still alive.

Anything by John Williams, Superman theme has to be his best work.

He didnt do Independance day though, that was david arnold, another cool soundtrack makin guy 🙂

His bond scores are brilliant.

Kill Bill is also great and gone in sixty seconds too.

Grosse Point Blank has an awesome soundtrack.

American Beauty can be cool to listen to while I"m studying.

Shrek 2 actually has a fun sountrack but I don't know if i"ll buy it.
