The Best Movie Music

Bazookatone

Hey, I noticed that the threads were a little thin on the ground (thanks by the way to whichever moderator finally got rid of the clutter!) and people mentioned that there was no more interesting topics being put up, so I decided to throw down the gauntlet. Seeing as I love films and I'm in an orchestra ( NB if Sven or Hugh or anyone from down South, Dublin that is, read this, tell Cormac to come back to orchestra) I consider myself somewhat of an authority on this subject.

I'm just gonna do classical music, please feel free to do modern music from films.
1. Star Wars (Episode 4, the original)
2. Star Wars (Episode 2, the latest, the love story music)
3. Star Wars (Episode 1, the crap one, but Duel of the Fates was great)
4. Star Wars (Episode 5, the Empire Strikes Back)
5 The Lord of the Rings (Fellowship and the Shire music)
6. The Lord of the Rings (Two Towers, the Rohan Music, I just love that violin sound!)
7. Jurassic Park
8. Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark)
9. ET (Anyone who didn't like that movie is fundamentally evil)
10. Terminator 2 (actually, the same music as T1, but not done on a synthesiser, good point of debate, is the Terminator Music really classical or just modern disguised as classical? Hmmmmmm!)

There are a million others I could mention but I won't bore you. I'm sure that someone will put up the others, really, that's the point of the thread, to generate conversation.

The music in donnie darko was really good, and so was the music in waynes world™.

Raphael

Holy grail was pretty good

And the matrix movies had some good ones as well

Zounds

i liked the music in Donnie Darko and The Matrixes,
the Rohan theme is also really cool

I've got to say, I was unimpressed with the music in The MATRICES (not Matrixes), actually, I was unimpressed with the movies as a whole, except for the Zion battle sequence, and I've not seen Donnie Darko, so I can't comment.

BTW, who thinks the Wachowskis should be tied to a lamp post and towel whipped for making a mess of such a promising franchise?

eeeehhhhhh........yeah......me too

The jury's still out on George Lucas. Personally, I liked Episode 2, mainly because Natilie Portman is a fox and the Yoda scene alone was worth the price of admission. But if he screws up Episode 3, there won't be a place on this Earth that He'll be able to hide from me and my towel.

Crash

Almost famous soundtrack. is teh win

Mystic Fibrosis

The Matrix Revolutions - Tetsujin

That is all.

Aliminator

The Rock. Amelie was rather good too. The Jackal.
of course Where is My Mind from Fight Club

Happy CTYI guy

1. LOTR- Last march of the Ents
2.Terminator 2 soundtrack
3.The Matrix- the music in the bit with the woman in the red dress
4.Star Wars- Imperial March
5.Star Wars- theme tune

That should suffice.

Squeee

I shall not reapeat ones previously mentioned...so DANNY ELFMAN! Any score by him is bound to be fantastical! Nightmare before Christmas(I don't know if your counting musicals), he also did that really pretty music for Edward Scissor Hands (I no spell) and for Sleepy Hollow.
