Movie Soundtracks We Enjoy

[Katji]

I'm really surprised that no one has mentioned The Graduate soundtrack, unless it was among the youtube videos not visible from Italy.

My mother had that record, and many of the Maurice Jarre soundtracks...Doctor Zhivago, Grand Prix...

"The Longest Day", that was a real "stick in your mind" song, I suppose they played it a lot on radio. The Great Escape is the one film there I remember, I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

...The Great Escape is on every Xmas in the UK...(not really, that's an old joke). My Dad had that LP, I played it 'til the groove wore out.

One of my favorites is Constantine by Brian Tyler and Klaus Badelt. Awesome music, excellent recording, even when played without the movie it still captures the listener.

Brian Reitzell's Hannibal music. Simply brilliant. It deserves a place in the best concert halls IMHO.

 

[irontortoise]

Three of my all time favorite albums in any musical genre:
Bernard Herrmann’s The Day the Earth Stood Still

Alex North’s The Agony and the Ecstasy

Jerry Goldsmith’s First Knight

 

[sibi1865]

I can't see it listed in this thread, but Miyazaki's Mononokehime with music by Joe Hisaishi deserves a mention.

 

[Adi777]

Beautiful theme from the movie, that broke my brain.

 

[Peluvius]

Noticeable improvement on the BluRay release. Outstanding acoustic and full concert sequences.

Mostly ambient.

And the Beatles being covered

Someone with fine taste! Used to own some of those but they've somehow disappeared over the years.. Do you own The Hired Hand soundtrack? Funny seeing Quintet on your list - a lost and interesting "failure" of an Altman film

Funny seeing Quintet on your list - a lost and interesting "failure" of an Altman film

One of the classic examples of the score’s quality having to relation to that of the film.

Jack Nitzsche - Cutter's Way

Looks like this milestone was not yet mentioned - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

A score at it's best as it had to fit many stiles and moods. BTW the description of the video is wrong,
it is the closing sequence when Will Sampson ("Chief Bromden") escapes the asylum.

 

[Svet Angelov]

Fight club!

seriously though. What a movie. And what a soundtrack.

 

[Martin]

Not a movie but Peaky Blinders makes excellent use of music:

Heavily influenced by Debussy and Stravinski, Eric Serras Music to the 1991 documentary from Luc Besson, "Atlantis".
