Music Your favorite film score?

Kill Bill has an absolutely amazing soundtrack- it's so varied and fits the scenes perfectly, IMO. I used to listen to the soundtrack years before I saw the film (as I wasn't old enough to see it upon release, and dad would play the CD all the time in the car). Perhaps that's just nostalgia kicking in, but I really love that soundtrack.

 

That reminds me of quite a few conversations from my high school days.

Kid: Hey, what music do you like.
Me: Clannad.
Kid: Who?
Me: Irish music.
Kid: What?
Me: Theme song from Last of the Mohicans.
Kid: Huh?
Me: Theme song from Patriot Games.
Kid: Oh. (walks away)

 

No one has mentioned Yann Tiersen yet. (or did I miss it maybe...)

The soundtrack of Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (or "Amélie", in English theaters) was simply awesome. Beautiful music, really.

This song always makes me feel somewhat nostalgic...

 

I did. 1st page 4th post, Summer 78

 

Whoops, you did indeed.

I have Flashblock on so I couldn't see the title of the clip (and I didn't take the effort to watch the video...), but I knew Goodbye Lenin sounded familiar somehow (never seen it myself).

 

Hmmm interesting Topic.

Howard shore for the lord of the rings. The black rider theme is my favourite.



Basil Poledouris - Conan the Barabarian. Actually a film that I really like.


I love choirs as you can see..

I like "Kitarô". He is a Japanese composer. He used to be very well know in the 80's. Don't know what happened to him. Anyway, for an asian twist, here's one I like from the movie Between heaven and earth:


The music from the Inception ad by Zack Hemsey (I am sure somenone posted b4):


Hans zimmer made Batman (both), Inception, Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, The Last Samurai, Pirates of the caribbean, Pearl Harbor.

Don't Think About Elephants:


He also made some of the modern warfare 2 music:


Crysis 2:


Gotta love this guy! He mix very well a classical orchestra with modern instruments and synthetizers. He won several awards both in films and with his compositions and, as i read, is one of the 100 "alive genius".

Speaking of games, I think this thread could be expanded to games too. There are some REALLY good music in games.

I LOOOVE this tune! Alice madness retuns:


Heres another one I like too (but not love):


As a side note (not music related) watch the Hysteria Mode

Back to choirs this is probably my all time fav!! Really LOVE this music. It really brings me tears:

BTW I HATE the game!

Jesper Kyd is a great game music composer. Anyone that like the main theme for blade runner might like this one. Not because they look like, but the construction reminds me:


Vegas from blood money. Another good one:


The name of the composer for this music is Kevin something (this one was really hard to remember and find in youtube):



By Matt uelmen, Diablo II - Outtake II (unreleased). Must See:


Tristan village. A bit disconected, but very interesting score:


For a blast from the past one of the best midis ever made for a game!

For a fan made piano (with some little slips) check here.

Another blast from 1986. WAAAAAAYYY ahead of pc. The MSX classic Knight Mare from Konami. It is a 3 channel midi music, so don't expect much. Unfortunatelly, the only music I've found is from the gameplay with all effects:


I could go on and on, but I doubt anyone would read it, so let's stop here

 

Huh, i didn't even realise Hans did the Crysis 2 theme. Makes all kinds of sense though.

There's already a thread for game soundtracks here, take a look.

 

FTFY



now back on topic, just watched Zombieland again earlier and completly forgot about the finale track.

quite awesome indeed

 

"Lebanon" was a film set inside an Isreali tank; intense, claustrophobic sound design / soundtrack.

On a different note, Sylvain Chomet's films (Belleville Rendezvous & The Illusionist) are also defined to a large extent by great soundtracks.

No-one's mentioned 2001 yet. Philistines

As for games... Thief... Amnesia... Monkey Island 2

Also, maybe OT but absolutely essential viewing:

 

how could I miss this one

Somehow I was sure you would have something to add!

Anyway another contribution, Resident Evil, Marilyn Manson:

The guy have some good music, and besides Ditta Von Teese, a bad taste. Well I guess people have to earn money with lots of crap...

 

Seeing as we're doing games...

Concentrate by nervous_testpilot for Frozen Synapse



And the Arma 2 main menu tune:



Edit: I almost forgot this!

Gore from Soldat (surely some of you have played it?)

 

We need a new thread for game music

 

What's wrong with the one already linked here?

 

Beats all so far!

TSB

 

Heat - New Dawn Fades

 

Out of all the soundtracks I have, Rules of Attraction probably gets the most playtime.
Gotta love tomanadandy
