Big Supes Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 In light of James Horner's passing and a brief conversation with Jay, it got me thinking... I love a decent movie score. Whether it's to go to sleep to, take the Supra out or hit the gym. Any other like-minded peeps - here is the place to share them. What are you listening to? I'll get the ball rolling... From Luthor. Some may have also heard this on Top Gear (Mclaren P1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig85 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Sunshine OST is a regular for me, it's a proper modern classic. You only have to look at how many other movies and trailers have used adagio in d minor from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Some of James Horners best work And a couple of greats by Hans Zimmer John Williams is another favourite, but I'm sure you're all too aware of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he done well with Man of Steel. Such a build up to the finale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 My favourite soundtracks are from the Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns Fist Full of Dollars For a Few Dollars More and a couple of great opening soundtracks Quadrophenia Trainspotting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Great idea for a thread! My favourite gym song at the moment for when I'm going for a seriously big lift (in between the rap and dance and house) is the main theme from The Dark Knight rises. Time by Hans Zimmer from Inception is something I listen to when I'm completely alone and feeling angry/reflective. Movie soundtracks can be so emotive. Will be downloading a few of these later.

j_jza80 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 A brilliant movie soundtrack is the one for The Matrix. Great variety of music, and not a bad song on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 My favourite soundtracks are from the Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns Fist Full of Dollars I've heard this used so many times, but never realised it was from Fist Full of Dollars. I need to watch this now... Love the cover picture on the video. Avatar pic right there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 My favourite soundtracks are from the Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns This is the best of all the western themes IMO [video=youtube;m6BQKFs3-VM] This theme influenced a lot of later film music, and I gather it had a profound effect on Quentin Tarrantino.

If you like that you should try the Blade 2 soundtrack, it's as underrated as the film is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMax2042 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I like most stuff by Hans Zimmer. Wiki him and you will be amazed at what he has written. Vangellis is also worth a look but imo is not as talented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'd have to say Hans Zimmer is my favourite composer, for sure. He's done so many great scores. Will check out Vangellis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'd have to say Hans Zimmer is my favourite composer, for sure. He's done so many great scores. Will check out Vangellis. Vide Cor Meum is a favourite Hans Zimmer track of mine. Also, Now we are free and honour him by Zimmer from the gladiator soundtrack are great pieces.

Westcoaster Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 My top three film scores: 1. The late James Horner - Braveheart - Freedom Theme - Powerful, passionate, stirring and unforgettable! 2. Trevor Jones - Last of the Mohicans - Promentary Adapted from 'The Gael' by Dougie MacLean. Hypnotic and Powerful. 3. Thomas Newman - Meet Joe Black (Whisper of a Thrill) Hate the film, love the music! I'm glad I'm not the only one that enjoys film scores, I had wondered if it was too nerdy to admit to!

j_jza80 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 2. Trevor Jones - Last of the Mohicans - Promentary Adapted from 'The Gael' by Dougie MacLean. Hypnotic and Powerful. A truly excellent film, and that particular track is the best of a good soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzy T Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Tron Legacy is constantly on my iPod at the moment. Blade, Matrix,Days of Thunder, Top Gun, Kill Bill and Sucker Punch are pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I cant believe people haven't mentioned the Top Gun OST, some ripping songs on there. Lost Boys OST is also very good. Sorry Fizzy, just noticed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
