Great film themes...?

[Benjaminpalma]

I've got really into film themes recently - great for a bit of inspiration while I work. The Valkerie OST is a particular favourite, followed by V For Vendetta.

What's your favourite film score?

[FourWheelDrift]

Basil Poledouris's original score for "The Hunt for Red October".

The Blues Brothers, no seriously there's James brown, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and Cab Calloway, that's one he'll of a lot of musical talent in one film.

[Pesty]

Sunshine score by John murphy awsome music(28 days later also worth a mention)

this piece in particular

The Doors and Apocalypse Now.Suited perfectly to each other.

[Benjaminpalma]

Some great suggestions - thanks.

I've got the Apocalypse Now soundtrack - it's a bit morbid in places but perfect when you're in the right mood.

[muppetdave]

The Gladiator soundtrack is a pretty good one

[Famous Graham]

Anything by John Williams.

Clint Mansell's Lux Aeterna is a corker, too.

Quite like what Howard Shore did for LOTR.

The Usual Suspects is very good as is Grosse Point Blank.

Blimey - this is opening my mind to some films I've never heard of - let alone composers!

Try these two;

Sublime - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYHtYuHCso4

Sick - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeOGSIkAgZU
(Coupled with the opening scene of this movie gives you an overwhelming queesy feeling that something very bad is going to happen.)

I thought Michael Nyman's Gattaca score was incredible - very powerful and moving and it complemented the film brilliantly.

Requiem for a dream.

Awesome piece of music...the volume HAS to be cranked up.

[Dixie68]

Once Upon a Time in America

Another

My favourite film of all time, helped tremendously by the beautiful, haunting soundtrack.

Definately!

The "28 days later" theme was based on a track by Godspeed You Black Emperor! called East Hastings - a highly recommended 18 minutes.

The Casino Royale soundtrack is great and although it's not technically a film, the music from Spooks (by Jennie muskett) is also a favourite listen.

The Road to Perdition by Michael Newman

Lord of the Rings Trilogy by Howard Shore
