great track but The Sinner totally owns it

Oh, I should mention Heat just because it's something that always needs to be mentioned.

The ambiance of the soundtrack fits the movie perfectly. The song at the very end tells us something beyond the context of even the movie, itself - that's when you have a really excellent movie score.

heh, when i was responding to that post of yours, i had mentioned Heat, but i edited it out.

the song that plays in the end when de niro is dying and pachino is holding his hand...priceless.

Moby - God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters

everyone connects Adagio for Strings with Platoon, but I actually think of The Elephant Man more than Platoon when I hear that score.

Both movies are excellent in their own way.

Layer Cake has a pretty good soundtrack...but what I liked best was one particular scene that dealt with the loss of a life...the music sounded like the breathing of a respirator machine and the beeping of a heart monitor. Fucking sick.

I also really loved the music in the movie Beseiged. Now THERE's a movie for hopeless romantics, omg.

Oh, and I love Disney soundtracks, lol.


Hero is another good one. I also love Danny Elfman's work, he's got a signature sound which is what I like.

Shit I can think of tons of flicks with great music!

snatch.

disco science scene ftw.

Bladerunner! VANGELIS!!!

I associate that piece with JFK. The man, not the movie. Well, ok, the movie too.

Oh man, I forgot about that one.

Batman Begins- Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard
The Fountain- Clint Mansell

Those are the only two were I loved most of the tracks, rather than just the score (Requiem for a Dream).

Romeo & Juliet (the one with claire danes & leo dicaprio)

requiem for a dream was pretty good.

"The Big Lebowski" and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" were both scored brilliantly.

Also, "Casino" & "Forrest Gump."

Basically anything and everything by Hans Zimmer...Musical genius.

Michael Mann films always have good tunes too...

That's the one about the Afrikaner kid who brings all the tribes together in the African jail, right? With Morgan Freeman? OMG I loved that soundtrack too (and the movie!).

I definitely will! Didn't know there was a book, though it doesn't surprise me to know it.
