Not in a criticall way but Grease 2 over the original? That's something you don't hear everyday |
Re: Best Movie Music/Theme Song
The soundtrack as a whole in Lord of the Rings is my favorite ever
Others that deserve to be mentioned: -The Last Samurai -Gladiator -Dark Knight -The Lion King -Aladdin Needless to say Hanz Zimmer is considered one of the, if not the, best composer...in my opinion, not only for movies, but videogames as well |
Re: Best Movie Music/Theme Song
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum's (1966) opening theme song, "A Comedy Tonight" is my favorite song in any movie.
The opening theme song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-hZhr2k2hk The film's finale song, which is a continuation of the opener: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8tfD5nrwB8&feature=related |

Re: Best Movie Music/Theme Song
Howard Shore's work on The Lord of the Rings was very good.
I'd throw in Braveheart, Star Wars and Hook into the mix as well but end of the day Requiem for a Dream wins. |
Re: Best Movie Music/Theme Song
My fave musical scores are probably Days of Heaven, The Devil and Daniel Webster, Jaws, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, and Conan the Barbarian. For themes, I think it's tough to beat Gone With the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, Taxi Driver, Chinatown, The Fall of the Roman Empire, and The High and the Mighty. The problem is that there are hundreds more deserving to be mentioned.

Wagner - Flight of the Valkyries (Apocalypse Now)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz3Cc7wlfkI Fit perfectly to that scene. |
The main themes from Blade Runner and Taxi Driver are great. Of course "Moon River" has become a standard that has transcended Breakfast at Tiffany's which it is from. "Moon River" is argueably more popular than the composer and the film it's from.

Taxi Driver
Blade Runner Requiem For A Dream Back TO The Future The Sound Of Music (almost every song on the movie) these 5 come to mind straight away. of course there are countless others that i quite like. |
Cant believe no one has mentioned this one, my favorite is the Godfather theme.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qbg089yT31g&feature=related I like the themes from these two Hitchcock flicks, and the opening title sequences just add to it. |
Re: Best Movie Music/Theme Song
Good choices :cool:, and I would have used those, along with Psycho, The Trouble With Harry and Marnie, but I already included Bernard Herrmann with The Devil and Daniel Webster and Taxi Driver.

Now here is something we often take for granted; the music/soundtrack...how important it is to the overall success of a movie
A good theme song can keep a movie on the minds of the viewers better than just about anything... Just think Star Wars... or Jaws. My personal favs: West Side Story - Max Steiner Back to the Future - Alan Silvestri Gladiator - Hans Zimmer The Patriot - John Williams The Da Vinci Code - Hans Zimmer The Lion King - Elton John & Hans Zimmer As you can see...I also love Hans Zimmer Unforgettable themes/soundtrack music: Star Wars Gone With the Wind Jaws The Godfather Psycho My Heart Will Go On - Titanic Shaft Rocky Mrs. Robinson - The Graduate |
