Music in Film: Favorite scores, songs, soundtracks, and scenes

I think so. I'm still a bit torn between Kubrick and Tarantino though.

Kubrick is better.

Definitely seems more talented, I think he probably is my favorite but Tarantino comes close in my preference.

not even close ... Kubrick is in my opinion de best director of all time a perfect master of the cinema

it's not a soundtrack but in my opinion this is one of the best tribute to a movie of all time ... Avenged Sevenfold rocks and the video is a tribute to Fear And Loathing in Vegas .

I think there's many films with great music but much fewer films with great image/music synergy, unfortunately, for me, it's hard to find particular scenes that represent the second category in youtube vids.

I very much enjoy Bernard Hermann's work for Hitchcock - Vertigo OST




Edvard Artemiev for Tarkovsky - Solaris OST (not necessarilly great image/music synergy here, but the music is hauntingly beautiful)




Toru Takemitsu work for Kurosawa - Ran OST




David Lynch work in his own film Eraserhead

and so on...

All great directors have a great sense of music in their films:

I would definitely agree with this...with a special shout out to Scorcese, Tarantino, and Woody Allen...Allen especially has absolutely flawless musical taste.

Kubrick is definitely something else when it comes to music. Tarantino is great too obviously. I think Danny Boyle also has a cool music taste. Trainspotting and 28 Days Later I thought had some good soundtracks that I really liked.

But the music is so similar in all of his films. Although it's enjoyable I find it to be repetitive.

One of my favourite single pieces of score music is Alan Silvestri's main theme from Cast Away. Just in general I think it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard; the perfect mix of haunting beauty and aching melancholy. It both breaks your heart but gives you a ray of hope. However what really adds to its power is how sparsely music is used throughout the film. In fact for the entire time spent on the island there is not a single piece of music whatsoever. It's only when he manages to escape and looks back at the island that we get our first notes in well over an hour. Having been deprived of music for so long it really does resonate to an incredible level. In fact I don't even need to watch the film, just hearing the music by itself is enough to get me going.

Its most powerful use for me is definitely the iconic scene where he loses Wilson.

2. The Graduate (Simon & Garfunkel)
3. Harold and Maude (Cat Stevens)
4. The Royal Tenenbaums/Rushmore

1 - Wes Anderson Moonrise Kingdom, Bottle Rocket, Rushmore

Ten pages in and not one person has mentioned Lalo Schifrin? His scores are incredible. My favourite film composer alongside Morricone.

This little piece of music from Breathless is fantastic!
