I'm sure we've had this thread before, but whatever, I can't remember! Anyway, this will always be my favorite, no matter what. It leaves me on the brink of tears every time I hear it. |

American Beauty is my favorite movie and also has my favorite original score. Just thinking about "Any Other Name" makes me want to cry. I'm a sucker for anything Thomas Newman, Michael Giacchino or Hans Zimmer (for the most part) does. |

I don't agree but I don't disagree. It's a perfectly reasonable opinion. |

I almost always have music playing near me whether it's a instrumental piece, orchestral, an aria, or otherwise, from any source (film, tv, games, etc.). And for me, a film's score is its most element, so it's too difficult to select a few favorites, let alone one. Sometimes, I'll listen to a film's score before deciding to even see it. Here are some favorites that I've had playing in recent weeks, many of which I frequent: Spoiler: show |

I know people make fun of both films, for much different reasons. But by golly they both have some great scores. |

I've never heard anyone ridicule it with regards to Inception itself. |

Hmm, trixster's also a fan of Clint Mansell, Nick Cave, Ennio Morricone, and Warren Ellis. He still has great taste (very similar to my own) but how about choosing music by some other talent?  All the following tracks should be put into a YouTube playlist. "The Man with the Harmonica" is a beautifully orchestrated piece. But I am surprised you didn't list "The Ecstasy of Gold" from The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. "The Witch" from Suspiria, eh. I've never seen the film. Perhaps it works well in the film but by itself it is not my cup of tea, though it does have a haunting 70s quality. The Shining's "Main Title" track is so perfect, and simple, and scary. It works within the film and on its own. Koyaanisqatsi's "Prophecies" is some piece of music. Just wow. Reminds me of certain pieces from Interstellar, though less produced, more raw than Zimmer's music. "Victorious" is kind of meh. No idea why you mentioned it other than to suck Morricone's cock yet again. The Untouchables is overrated. "Journey to the Line" is sublime, and at nine minutes we are treated to too much of a good thing. It is possibly my favourite thing about The Thin Red Line. I kind of agree with the sentiment that something so great doesn't stop being great because you've heard/seen it too much, but in "Lux Aeterna"'s case, it is kind of true. And I kind of thought Requiem for a Dream was a lame film. Unbreakable is M. Night's best film, and "Visions" has always been a favourite of mine. Nice inclusion. And it comes at the best part of the film. I'd never heard "Bolero" from Moulin Rouge! before, but it's epic. Nice inclusion. "In the House, in a Heartbeat" from 28 Days Later is an all-time favourite of mine. Loving your taste so far. Glad you included this. GREAT choice with "Hello Zepp" from Saw. I hadn't thought to include this, but it really is perfect. I remember when I saw the film for the first time (it was in the cinema) and that tune played over the ending. You don't forget experiences like that. I didn't remember much goodness from The Proposition, but "Martha's Dream" is great. Shame the film isn't as good. I really have to see The Fountain. While "Death is the Road to Awe" isn't really doing it for me as a track, I could envisage loving it if the images match up well. "Dead Reckoning" is a nice track. I bet it works well within the film. I don't remember much about the film now besides thinking it was good. And Sunshine is another film I need to see! "Kaneda's Death, pt. 2 (Adagio in D Minor)" is just amazing. Starts off and reminds me of Man of Steel music and loads of other similar pieces of music, but it's also unique. I love it. Sunshine shoots right to the top of my "must-see" list just because of this track (and because it's Danny Boyle, which helps). "The Money Train" is lovely but too short. Kind of reminds me of "Into the Fray" from The Grey, which is another lovely theme but again too short. "There Will be Blood" isn't bad. I've seen the film but don't remember this in it. Did I get the right one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQEov7T ... q&index=10 The Hurt Locker's "There Will Be Bombs" is difficult to call music. It is just one long sound. I don't recall where this plays in the film. I saw Drag Me To Hell at the cinema and don't remember anything special about its score. Just listened to "Concerto to Hell" and it's not bad. Well composed but I wonder how it is utilised within the film. I've loved Goldenthal's work on Public Enemies ever since I saw it, and you're right to include "JD Dies". It's a special track. Otis Taylor's "Ten Million Slaves" is also brilliant, but sure, it's a song so not the same. Umm yeah, "Lipstick to Void" from Under the Skin really shouldn't be included in your list. No flow. Pales in comparison to others on your list. "Heels" is an effective tune. Junkie XL's "Brothers in Arms" from Mad Max: Fury Road is awesome. It reminds me very much of Underworld's "And I Will Kiss" from the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony/Isles of Wonder, which is one of the greatest experiences a person could ever have while sat in front of the TV. So, yeah, thumbs up for this pick. "Neon Demon" is sort of meh in 2016. If it was for a film in the early 2000s, then sure, but it doesn't feel special at all besides being slightly cool for having an thumping beat. Still got to see the film, so I hope it works better. |
