Your favourite film score
Mine has to be Elmer Bernstein's score for "The Magnificent Seven"

"On the Waterfront" isn't too bad either.

What's yours?

The score for "The Crow" is some very good music. BTW, I don't mean the soundtrack.

It's music written by Graeme Revell

Although, the soundtrack is great as well.

ACK!

I'm not too sure if Amadeus had a soundtrack or just a number of strung-together Mozart pieces...

Good choice.

They used the same "anchor song" in the score to THE TWO TOWERS, but I feel it has much more effect in REQUIEM.

Ditto some of you for "requiem for a dream".. Clint Mansell and the whatever orchestra really touched me there.

The Good the Bad and the Ugly.

Original Alien.

Taxi Driver of course.

I kinda liked the theme from Silverado.

Don't like: the Great Escape theme becomes REALLY repetitive after a while.

Bladerunner Soundtrack.

Indy (Raiders in particular)
Star Wars (hell, if only for the Imperial March)

Those are tops for me. Most of the time, I don't really notice the music in movies. Not so with those.

Not on the same level, but good:

The Usual Suspects
Ocean's Eleven (remake)
The Rock

I'm sure I'm missing some, but whatever.

James Horner

James Horner's work for Glory is my favorit, probably my most favorite soundtrack. The Harlem Boy's Choir was awesome.

My favorite composer of movie soundtracks has to be Danny Elfman though; Batman, Beetlejuice, and Edward Siccorhands were all good.

I think Klaus Badelt is the next one I will like, he did Pirates of Carr... and I thought that soundtrack was superb. The accents in the music mimiced the action perfectly and was all round amuzing.
