OT, Slow Day. Favorite movie scores and/or songs.

[LionJim]

Curious as to what your favorites are. My father loved the score of “The Third Man.”

My motivation: TCM is doing their 31 Days of Oscar and today is best song. “The Sandpiper” just now came on. 21% Tomatometer but it has “The Shadow Of Your Smile.”

 

[Midnighter]

Curious as to what your favorites are. My father loved the score of “The Third Man.”

Probably Kronos Quartet and Clint Mansell’s score for Aronofsky’s The Fountain’ and Mansell again for ‘Requiem for a Dream’, and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for ‘The Social Network.’







Oh - and every movie Justin Hurwitz scores - this from ‘Babylon.’

I miss the oddly inspirational/aspirational movie songs from the 80’s…

Jaws and Star Wars are probably my top 2.

No "Goodfellas"? That's worth a mention just for Memo From Turner and Monkey Man.
"Casino" is also excellent.

Casino is very good.
I would also include Repo Man and Gross Pointe Blank but then thats kind of my wheel house of music.
Gross Pointe Blank is fantastic.

Yeah, thought about both of them - but just decided to go with what I had.

 

[Grant Green]

Choose your Clint movie, but "Good, Bad, and the Ugly" is probably the leader.
"Godfather" hard to argue with.
'"Inception" because it really fit the dreamy vibe.
Not a popular one, but "There Will be Blood" because I dig Johnny Greenwood.

 

[psuro]

Blonde's version of "Ring of Fire" in the movie "Roadie".

 

[s1uggo72]

I always loved this score....

Alright, I will say it.....

If we're going John Cusack, I'll add High Fidelity.

I have the theme from TGTBATU running through my head now.

And to this day I can fire up the Pulp Fiction soundtrack at any time and I’m transported back to my mid-90s self. I would listen to it all the time in those days while working.

+1 on a Tarantino Soundtrack. He's always spot on.

Jesus Christ superstar.

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

For an opening theme that truly sets the mood for a movie, you can't be the Overture to the movie "Gettysburg". Not only does it provides a sweeping grandeur at the beginning, but then it is reprised during Pickett's Charge that really grabs you by the heart strings knowing what is going to happen once the Union army unleashes a pure hell of hot lead and steel against them from Cemetery Ridge.

[razpsu]

Spartacus
Lawrence of arabia
Dances with wolves
Braveheart.
A bridge to far.

Epic movies on grand scale and these scores do each justice.

star wars
Jaws
Rocky
Etc are classics. I could go on and on.

OLD Man River
Any song from Man of Lamoncha

 

[fairgambit]

Bill Conti's brilliant North And South Theme.

 

[psuro]

This theme is so awesome it makes me want to go out and kick my own a$$.

 

[Thorndike2021]

Lawrence of Arabia, perhaps the greatest movie ever made had an amazing, original score.



Dr. Zhivago: Laura's Theme is both light and mournful. Beautiful stuff!



Casablanca

 

[CVLion]

OLD Man River
Any song from Man of Lamoncha

Man of La Mancha is fantastic.
