Favourite Movie Soundtracks?
A soundtrack or score can quite often be an integral part of a part in the effectiveness of certain scenes in movies and indeed the movie as whole yet they can be often overlooked,so i was wondering what are your favourite movie soundtracks?
Here are a few of mine.... Platoon-This soundtrack contains some of the best recording artists of the era including Otis Redding,The Doors,Smokey Robinson and Aretha Franklin,however i find the use of Barber's Adagio for strings in key scenes of the movie to be truly haunting. Halloween-If ever a soundtrack fitted a movie like a glove this imo is the one.This simple synthesizer based score both mirrors and enhances the on screen tension,terror and sense of impending doom. Blade Runner-Vangelis's dark futuristic soundtrack gels with the mood and the ambience of the movie.Even now this score does not sound dated which is testement to the skill with which it was executed.

I love the soundtracks of John Williams. A few of my faves of his are:
The Star Wars movies Jurassic Park Schindler's List |

The Fog's score was bad ass too |

Ennio Moricone's best work is The Good,The Bad and the Ugly imo,absolutely iconic.

I have to agree. The use of Lynard Skynards epic that is Freebird at the end was fantastic.

My favorite film scores-
Once Upon a Time in the West - Ennio Morricone. Timeless. Bullitt - Lalo Schifrin. Cool jazz and a great prelude to his other best Dirty Harry. Vertigo - Bernard Herrmann. One of his best non-thundering scores. The Blue Max - Jerry Goldsmith. A score better than the film itself. Lawrence of Arabia - Maurice Jarre. Classic, and his scores for Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Les Yeux sans Visage are great as well. Best amalgamation soundtracks - The Big Lebowski Blue Velvet A Clockwork Orange Reservoir Dogs Goodfellas Best Horror soundtracks - Sisters - Bernard Herrmann Psycho - ditto Carrie - Pino Dinaggio The Fury - John Williams Mars Attacks! - Danny Elfman (only thing good about that film) |

I'm a big fan of all the Carpenter stuff.
Bernard Herrmann is fucking amazing too. I love the Taxi Driver score and North By Northwest. |
