Favorite Movie Soundtrack / Score?

[Gradine]

Lot of greats already mentioned so I'll drop one of my favorite scores that I haven't heard from:

Unbreakable - James Newton Howard

 

[Lidgar]

Some pretty great ones already listed. I’ll add:

Tron Legacy (Daft Punk)
Superman (John Williams)
And, surprisingly, The Mandalorian and Grogu (Ludwig Goranssun)

I have a lot of TV and movie soundtracks & scores in my music collection- ignoring the musicals- and of course some that I haven’t added…yet. TBH, I don’t think in terms of favorites anymore.

Some that stand out for me (in no particular order):

Singles
Heavy Metal (1981)
The Crow
Strange Days
Godzilla (1998 soundtrack)
Judgement Night
1984
Conan the Barbarian
Star Wars
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
The Pink Panther
Koyaanisqatsi
Legend
Blade Runner

 

[Theory of Games]

Another individual score that has stayed with me since 1990 is Mo' Better Blues. Branford Marsalis Quartet + Bill Lee's compositions made for one of the finest musical experiences I've had while watching a film.

Elliot Goldenthal's Alien 3 soundtrack is very underrated.

 

[Ulfgeir]

Hmm, some favourites..

Blues Brothers 2000 (the film was so-so, but the soundtrack is good)
Conan
Desperado
Dune (The David Lynch version)
Hardware
Last of the Mohicans
Mortal Combat (The one from the 90's)
O Brother, Where art thou?
Pacific Rim
Star Wars
The Crow
The Fifth Element
The Matrix

Jubilee: the soundtrack is a journey through the UK punk scene of the late 1970s
Breaking Glass: Hazel O’Connor nails it with songs such as Will You, Eighth Day and Calls the Tune
Christiane F: Bowie. Heroes. No more needs to be said.
Last of the Mohicans is such a dramatically sweeping score, with the music matching the scenery.

And finally, those helicopters flying in to March of the Valkyries!

And finally, those helicopters flying in to March of the Valkyries!

I first heard Ride of the Valkyries in a movie in the final chase scene in The Blues Brothers, so it always felt like I was a little out of sync with the rest of the world when it came to what that music evokes for me.

 

[Rabulias]

Pacific Rim

Oh yes! Such a great score!
