Most have already been said, but this is in with my vote:

'You're so cool/Main theme' by Hans Zimmer - True Romance.

I did on the prior page

While I am here though, Dead Can Dance - The Host Of Seraphim the end track from the Mist good tune and really added to the mood of the final shots of the film

[Mr Dave]

Audioslave- Shadows on the sun - Collateral
Phil collins- In the air tonight - Miami Vice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlVqZyUmPL0

Pretty much the whole of "Local Hero" (still one of my favourite films of all time).

Yes

[captainzep]

'L'enfant' by Vangelis from The Year of Living Dangerously

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsBOxDM_Vek&fea...

Not a film but Johnny Cash -'The Man Comes Around' from Generation Kill Minis series

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dFl9OHE-8g

Have to see the preceeding seven episodes which have no music to appreciate the impact of the song above.

[odyssey2200]

Heads up!!!


ITV now

Surely a contender?

[SkinnyBoy]

John Barry - Midnight Cowboy theme

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGORPUzLxtU

In fact most of John Barry's stuff is fantastic.

[odyssey2200]

I can't see that it has been mentioned before but

Sing along.......

Classic!

Just remembered another film in which I really like the score.

Way of the gun.
this is the only bit I can find but is good any way
the bit I'm on about comes in at about 2:42 briefly but variations of it are all through the film
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpnUQzWLOI4&fea...

seems to be based on the music from the Professionals with Lee Marvin. Again the same theme runs through both films.


Oh and everything from Fargo

John Williams - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvCI-gNK_y4

[Nuisance_Value]

I'm amazed no-one has mentioned one of the greatest ever film composers, Bernard Herrmann responsible for, among others, Psycho, Vertigo, North by Northwest and one of my all time favourites, Taxi Driver.

Also, Paris, Texas by Ry Cooder.

[Pesty]

Just remembered another film with an amazing original sound track

This is Nethanual mechaly from Revolver

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAWB74xwqW4

Emmanuel Santarromana - Opera from the same film simply awsome

Great film! The score really adds to it.

[Nuisance_Value]

Just remembered this film where the music is integral to the whole experience. Music by Philip Glass - Koyaanisqatsi

[Lefty Guns]

Pruit Igoe.

Also on an ad for the BM 6-series and then (sometime later) in GTA IV

Another one - Extreme Ways by Moby in the Bourne trilogy. I particularly enjoyed the remix at the end of the Ultimatum.

Definately. Perfect for the end of the film.

Also:
Days Like These from the Italian Job.
Battle Without Honour or Humanity by Tomoyasu Hotei from Kill Bill.
