SuperMikey Posted 8 March, 2011 Share Posted 8 March, 2011 Thoughts? Ennio Morricone has been responsible for some of the best soundtracks; The Good, The Bad and The Ugly to name one. The rest of the 'Dollars' trilogy and also The Mission are excellent also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbal Posted 8 March, 2011 Share Posted 8 March, 2011 I like all the Tarantino ones but the Judgement Night movie soundtrack is damn good too. Tarantino typically uses pre-recorded music. John Powell is at the top of his game right now (Bourne). Carter Burwell can do brilliant stuff (Coens). And Cliff Martinez (Soderbergh) delivers. But all of them and more owe a debt of one kind or another to Nino Rota (Godfather, but also the films of Fellini, Zefferelli, Visconti) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintbletch Posted 9 March, 2011 Share Posted 9 March, 2011 Ennio Morricone.... Really enjoyed that. A wonderful voice and there is something about the oboe that really creates emotion in a piece of music. I also used to love the oboe in the Sweeney closing theme tune. But it has to be Miller's Crossing for me - which also happens to be my favourite film too - so I guess I might be biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stain Posted 10 March, 2011 Share Posted 10 March, 2011 Maurice Jarre: he wrote the original music for over 50 movies, including Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Zhivago. +1, some fantastic scores. But it has to be Miller's Crossing for me So good, it was stolen wholesale for the Lord of the Rings films... My favourites are... Three Colours: Blue - A film about a woman coming to terms with the death of her husband, who was a composer, so the soundtrack becomes an integral part of the narrative and is beautiful. Dutch Harbor - A documentary about an Alaskan fishing town, the soundtrack was initially improvised live at every showing by a band calling themselves Boxhead Ensemble, featuring people like Jim O'Rourke, David Grubbs and Will Oldham. The released OST and DVD feature one of those improvised takes. Really mesmerically desolate, all slow guitar and scraped strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbul Posted 10 March, 2011 Share Posted 10 March, 2011 Seeing as Clint Mansell, Maurice Jarre and Ennio Morricone have gone I'll throw Thomas Newman into the ring for his original scores for films like American Beauty, Shawshank, Road To Perdition, Green Mile etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 He may be very mainstream and an obvious choice, but I am surprised that nobody has mentioned John Williams yet. After all, he has been responsible for some of the most memorable movie theme tunes ever composed; notably Star Wars, Jaws, Close Encounters, Indiana Jones, ET and Jurassic Park.

Saint_Jonny Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 (edited) On a similar line to John Williams, no one has mentioned Jerry Goldsmith a true great and responsible for as many great moments as Williams. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Goldsmith#Legacy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UlaS4tr8XA Edited 9 May, 2011 by Saint_Jonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
