Best Movie Score

Pretty much anything by John Williams, Clint Mansell, Ennio Morricone or Hans Zimmer.

I never got to watch this in the cinema, but i've watched ti about 100times on dvd, even though I can't say (with conviction) that I completely understand the ending.

The Great Escape would just be a fraction of the movie it was if not for it's score (stop whistling

)

Rumblefish. I like it all, some great pieces of music albeit more like atmospheric pieces rather than songs.

Great book too, had to nick it from Rathbeale Library in Swords when I was 11 as it was in the Adult section and I only had a childs card :cool:

Had a crush on Diane Lane since the movie also, in Streets Of Fire she is so fricking hawt.

I nicked a copy from my library too when I was a kid but only because I loved it so much.

I adored that book and consequently the movie, and soundtrack.

Scorcese apparently called it Camus for kids. :pac:

I love this piece by Paul Halsinger in Underworld. It's called Eternity and a Day

All of the music from Dead Man is incredible, anyone who's seen it will know just how much it makes the film, the atmosphere is amazing.

Another John Carpenter score, outside of the obvious choices of The Thing and The Fog I definitely think this is one of his best in terms of complimenting the film perfectly. There's a metal cover in the sequel for anyone that can't handle the synths!

Major +1 on Gladiator's score too, oftentimes I can remember it more vividly than the film itself!
