Members aztechno Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 wut? No they don't count, I explicitly said, "no video games" ( ). Mentions of Myst and Zelda are hereby null and void. I decided. I am the decider. What about video games that became movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marcher5877 Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 Danny Elfman is one of the greatest composers of our time. Someone already mention Donnie Darko, the soundtrack was written by a guy named Mike Andrews, who goes by the name Elgrin Park and is a San Diego legend, he plays in Karl Densons Tiny Universe and does a ton of soundtrack work. For this movie, even though he is a guitar player, the entire thing was done without guitar. Great stuff. Also, I have never seen the movie, but the soundtrack for Wag the Dog is fantatic. Its Mark Knopfler solo stuff. Really great upbeat acoustic guitar instrumental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike Conway Posted November 11, 2009 Members Share Posted November 11, 2009 It's now on iTunes - as far as I know, the only place to get it. Thanks! I use a Zune, so I'll have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Plink Floyd Posted November 11, 2009 Members Share Posted November 11, 2009 The music for Planet of the Apes really bugged me. But the score for the original POTA was quite good. Until I looked it up, I didn't realize how prolific Jerry Goldsmith had been. Patton's theme always makes me wanna march & shoot & stuff. (Not really.)

Members The Severalist Posted November 11, 2009 Members Share Posted November 11, 2009 Deserves a + 1. After all, it creeps and leaps and slides and glides across the floor. The blob and it's anthem, a thing of beauty to be sure. I'd also like to add, even though it's kind of a cheat, the soundtrack for "kill your idols", but I'm not going to, because I'm desperately worried what people might think. Anyways, ignoring all that in the smug interest of gettin down wit it, here's a little ditty featured in the film sure to make you reel in ambivalent distaste and liesurely disapproval. They don't make em like this any... well, to paraphrase a line of dialouge in Ghostbusters, they never made them like this, and the guys who made it (irony) we're either certified geniuses or asthetic wackos...

Members carbon111 Posted November 11, 2009 Members Share Posted November 11, 2009 Forbidden Planet Louis and Bebe Barron made a luscious score filled with electronic sounds that, to this day, are still some of the weirdest, most evocative, I have ever heard in a movie soundtrack! :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hogberto Posted November 11, 2009 Members Share Posted November 11, 2009 for quite a while i had the Gladiator soundtrack in my car. Hans Zimmer et al. Quality stuff. [YOUTUBE]eBszRs0zZlc[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ElectricPuppy Posted November 11, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2009 Oh, and: Duh. I forgot to mention Tron. I wore that one out once upon a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Strenge Posted November 11, 2009 Members Share Posted November 11, 2009 Tron is great. I love the soundtrack to the Shawshank Redemption, it's not a super-complicated score but it definitely brings out the emotion (in me at least), especially with the voiceover. The swelling strings after 2:00 combined with the visuals of Red going through the fields.....wow. EDIT: this is "Compass and Guns", the part that starts with Red looking at...you guessed it, compasses and guns in the pawnshop window. It ends with him reading the letter under the oak tree. [YOUTUBE]jlfSNSQRheo[/YOUTUBE] Also from Shawshank, when Andy breaks out...that buildup is incredible. It's hard to beat the Imperial March from Star Wars. My two little sons are duelling around the house with their toy sabers trying to sing that all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chroma Posted November 11, 2009 Members Share Posted November 11, 2009 couple more I didn't see mentioned: Ocean's 11, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hero (especially the chess court scene!). Maybe ocean's 12 and 13 too - didn't really like those movies, but the soundtracks I still like.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Strenge Posted November 11, 2009 Members Share Posted November 11, 2009 Crouching Tiger has some really nice pieces in it. For more ambient scores I really like the Solaris (remake) score:[YOUTUBE]S5Qw9ANrbIg[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
