I love Disney Movie Soundtracks!!

I like the Star Wars music too.

Really really really really good soundtrack:
Requiem for a Dream

Its all really cool violin music. The movie is really good too, I'd advice everyone to see it...well, I take that back. Its a little graphic, so....If you think you can handle it, see it. Its about all the really horrible stuff that can happen to you if you get addicted to any type of drug. You'll never ever want to do drugs after you see it...Not to imply anyone wanted to in the first place

I like the O, Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack...scared me at first though...bluegrass...*shiver*

I like the one from 10 Things I Hate About You, too.

***Fat middle*** · 11-10-2001, 06:45 PM

The best soudtrack i'e listen to recently is "Hannibal", i think it's by Hans Zimmer. But i don't generally like his music.

For me, the best author of soundtracks nowadays is Elliot Goldenthal: "Michael Collins", "Heat", "Titus"... he can do soundtracks of very different sorts... and always amazing

Bregalad · 12-05-2001, 01:02 AM

There are so many soundtracks that I like.
In the more classical genre:
Hook
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Somewhere in Time
Nightmare Before Christmas

In the songs type:
Dick
Highlander
Heavy Metal (the first one)
Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
West Side Story
Little Mermaid

Bregalad....after looking at our choices, I can't believe neither one of us chose Sense and Sensibility.....I mean, we listen to it at least once a day at work!

Darth Tater · 12-06-2001, 12:59 PM

Ya learn something new every day...

Bregalad · 12-07-2001, 11:35 PM

Anduin ... You know, I almost did put it down, and I love that movie! But the truth is, you and our fearless leader like that soundtrack more than I do! I don't mind that we listen to it so much, mind you, but I like the ones I listed before better!

Darth Tater · 12-08-2001, 11:28 AM

Oh my god you're actually using the pic

Bregalad · 12-09-2001, 12:17 AM

Darth ...of course I am!! It's the absolutly coolest one on entmoot, and thanks to you it's all mine! As you can see, I'm quite proud of it.

There may be other Bregalads, but they don't have a cool pic like mine!

Being computer impared, I'm lucky to have a friend like you!

Hmm....I'm supposed to be saying something about soundtracks aren't I? What do you all think about Bill Conti?

noldo · 12-09-2001, 03:21 PM

My favorite movie soundtracks are from my two favorite movies ever: The Virgin Suicides and Requiem for a Dream.

The Virgin Suicides OST was made by the French electric duo Air and sort of creates a very dreamy and haunting feeling to the film with it's mix of church organs, cheesy 70's rock and soft electric sounds.

Requiem for a Dream's score is an immense masterpiece made by the Kronos Quartet. Very cold and beautiful, just like the movie.

Steerpike · 12-19-2001, 08:58 AM

GOBLIN, Italian prog-rock masters who pretty much introduced the idea of rock music as serious soundtrack material in the Seventies. They have a small but fiercely loyal fanbase, of which I am one. DAWN OF THE DEAD, DEEP RED, SUSPIRIA...they pretty much made those last two films what they are.

Pretty much any of the Italian horror/suspense films of the 1970s and early Eighties.

The AMELIE soundtrack is fantastic. Some of my other favorites are BLUE VELVET, SANTA SANGRE, and most of the Bond films. I prefer the original songs to any of the later orchestral interpretations. I was lucky enough to snag a 30th anniversary collection of just about all the original Bond material up to 1992. It's out of print, but I found it on Ebay for fairly cheap, so I don't think it's that hard to find. I love all of the Bond stuff until the Eighties, when the theme songs just became standard radio pap. John Barry's On Her Majesty's Secret Service is probably my favorite. It's the only instrumental Bond theme, because they couldn't figure out a way to write a song with that unwieldy title in the lyrics!

Love that Air Virgin Suicides soundtrack too. I love anything by Air!

Finglas · 12-20-2001, 05:42 PM

I really liked the music for 'O Brother, Where art Thou?'. Was it Ralph Stanley who did the singing? I know that he wrote it.

Mercutio · 07-27-2004, 12:12 PM

I just ordered "O Brother, Where art Thou?" and a few weeks ago I bought "The Mission" (composer Enrico Morricone). I love both of them. I also have 10-15 assorted musical cd's (Favorite at this moment is West Side Story).

Hanza · 07-27-2004, 05:30 PM

moulin rouge def my favourite. always brings a smile to my face. although some of the songs can also bring me to tears. gladiator one is also really good.

Rosie Gamgee · 08-05-2004, 04:56 PM

I love almost anything recent by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard. Hans Zimmer is my all-time favorite. His music says 'adventure' all over it, and it just so catches you up. James Newton Howard's music pulls vaguer (is that a word) strings, and works on a more subconcious level; very effective as well.
Other favorite movie composers are Jerry Goldsmith *little tear*- his work is so unrecognizable, which I like a lot- Thomas Newman- very good at period themes, I think, and at capturing atmospheric themes.
For the record- I don't like John Williams that much.

Lady Ravyn · 08-05-2004, 05:12 PM

my dad loves the o brother where art thou? soundtrack
my personal favs (besides the lotr ones

) are spiderman, scorpion king, and the smallville soundtrack

Rûdhaglarien · 08-13-2004, 02:47 AM

(summutha) Best Movie Soundtracks EVER:

The Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack (Something's up with Jack)
And almost anything else done by Danny Elfman (mmmmb...)
The Lion King Soundtrack (Can you feel the love tonight...)
O Brother, Where Art Thou? Soundtrack (I am the man of constant sorrow...)
Cherish Soundtrack (Good old rock music)
The Piano Soundtrack (Pretty obviously, beautiful piano solos played by Holly Hunter)

Hey guys, how about The Lord of the Rings soundtracks? I find them quite lovely. Especially Gollum's song on TTT ST.

***HOBBIT*** · 08-13-2004, 03:10 AM

woah - an old topic.

My favorite movie soundtracks and their composers:
____________
John Williams

faves by him: Star Wars (all the work he has done for all the movies), Indiana Jones, Jurasic Park.

His other works are good as well (ET, Close Encounters of the third kind, Harry Potter, etc, etc). I enjoy anything by him.
______________________

Howard Shore

Lord Of The Rings Soundtrack - amazing.

David Arnold

Stargate Soundtrack - very good stuff
____________

FoolofaTook · 08-13-2004, 02:16 PM

I really like the Requim for A Dream soundtrack, along with almost any Tarantino soundtrack; in particular Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs.

Beruthiel's cat · 08-13-2004, 02:56 PM

I like James Horner's soundtracks. Titanic is very good (I am a terribly sentimental sap

...forgive me...

) but I also like the soundtrack of The Perfect Storm, which is very evocative. Also, I liked the soundtrack of Mighty Joe Young, which he also composed.
