Most Excellent Movie Scores

Seems Zimmer did the score for Interstellar as well, and this made the film for me. The only soundtrack I’ve sought out to listen to in its own right is Blue Velvet.

Yeah I’d go along with that, Zimmer has worked with Chris Nolan a fair bit to say the least and it’s worked out pretty well. I need to re-visit Blue Velvet, not seen it in ages :lou_smiley:

Can’t look past Morricone and his work on the mission, the good the bad etc and many many others. Obviously Williams springs to mind immediately as well but the main song in the mission is still to me one of the most moving pieces of music ever written, hope turns to desolation and then hope again, beautiful.

I loved The Mission soundtrack…I never buy soundtrack albums but bought the vinyl after I had seen the movie when it first appeared in the mid '80s.

Amazing, so moving, the man is a legend.

Jaws - just a cello and so much tension… genius

The Jaws theme was done with just a cello, now I’m no James Galway but that ain’t right.

Ali G - In da House.

Class.

I thought Cherts was going to

“Once at bandcamp I put a trumpet up my…”

Michael Andrew’s soundtrack for Donny Darko - if only for his reworking of Tears For Fears’ Mad World - probably one of the best reworks of an original song ever - IMHO

Have a listen an see what you think.

That wasn’t for your benefit, it was a warning for all the people who could be buying a 2nd hand trumpet soon in the South West London area you trumpet.

Brilliant yet again. You should be on TV with chat like that.

Bazza and Cherts, you’ve both got shit banter. Can we get back to talking about movie scores please?

I’ve heard critics say the score to David Lynch’s ‘Eraserhead’ is really effective and helps make the film what it is, anyone seen it?

Really like the stuff done by ex-PWEI man Clint Mansell - A lot of Aronofsky’s stuff- Pii, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, and also Moon spring to mind.

“saw” the film back in my student days under the influence of a psychotropic substance - not one of my greatest moments, so I’ve been told. Don’t remember the soundtrack or much of the film - sorry.
