Movie soundtracks

[Otta]

Just sorting out some old CDs, and found the soundtrack to Cruel INtentions (90s take on dangerous liaisons). I think it's a cracking soundtrack.

Forest Gump is another I like (more so than the film!), especially as it spans quite a wide time period.

Any favourites?

For a more "epic" soundtrack (orchestral, not songs), I like Last of the mohicans.

[Voyageur]

Theme from Taxi Driver and English Patient. Fabulous.

The Last Of The Mohicans is the best soundtrack ever.

I bought CD's with it on & have watched the film at least 6 times. As much as I love the film, I have to watch it again & again, just for the music.

ETA My 2nd fave has to be The Good. The Bad & The Ugly

Master and Commander

Pulp Fiction

[El Pibe]

Any of Shane Meadows films are class.

Ted Barnes Underbelly was written for one of them but wasn't used but is worth buying.

Bladerunner, a film where everyone was at their career best including, perhaps particularly, Vangelis.

Anything by Tangerine Dream ;)

What is this pig of a thread?

Soundtrack or score, goddammit?!

[????]

Ooh someone post THAT photo of *bob* doing his score

[Townleygreen]

American Graffiti has a fantastic soundtrack IMHO

[maxxi]

Midnight Express for that late 70s disco-synth Giorgio Moroder thing.

[DJKillaQueen]

Favourite score 'Inception' or just about anything by Hans Zimmer. Like the score from 'Dances With Wolves' too.

Favourite soundtracks,

Morvern Caller

Boogie Nights

The Insider

Thelma and Louise

[Jah Lush]

Performance and A Clockwork Orange.

Thanks *Bob* - how's the work on the planned Clangers relaunch theme going?

Pretty good. Workin' on the dubstep mix right now.

Zimmer has been the busiest of boys, on paper. He farms a lot of the donkey work out his drones though. By all accounts - noting a basic tune down and handing it to someone else saying 'score that for me, would you?' is a regular occurrence. The 'Zimmer Score' that impressed me the most was The Thin Red Line, I think.

I'd nominate a couple of Kubricks:

The Shining has a great score / soundtrack.

2001 is my all-time fave though: if you get a chance to see/hear it in a good auditorium (I went to the BFI) the whole thing - just sounds amazing.. especially the silence.

Italian Job

Blow Up

Dirty Harry

Bullit

When We Were Kings

Have you heard the original score which Kubrick scrapped? It's available on CD... but it's hard to imagine 2001 without the classical soundtrack...

Dirty Harry.. Bullit.. Lalo Schifrin!

Definitely a favourite. Some of the twisted, freaky synth stuff he did on the early Columbos is worth listening-out for.

I know the story about it, but not the music itself.

The iconic classical contributions hog the limelight re 2001 but - as I say - it's really hard to appreciate how good the rest of it sounds without a decent cinematic experience.

Didn't all the Old Masters do the same?
