Dead Man’s Party - Oingo Boingo from the OST of Back to School.

Nightbreed was great, Edward Scissorhands springs to mind, Batman Returns and for some strange reason Pee Wee's Big Adventure just for it being his first foray into original score. Apparently that score just came to him the first time he was shown the footage of the film.

Was very disappointed they cut this song out of Ready Player One when they adapted the novel into the movie. Originally it played over Halliday's last will & testament video.

Planet of the Apes is probably his most overlooked and underappreciated.

His Batman theme has become my, and many other fans' ideal Bat-Theme. I also adore the magic of the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack and its foreboding, menacing magic feel. "Grand Finale" in particular always manages to get me. But if I'm being honest, I don't dislike any of his scores.

Pounder · 05-30-2020, 07:15 PM

Dead Presidents' opening theme.

GoneJoel · 05-30-2020, 08:18 PM

My favorite would be CORPSE BRIDE, especially the song The Piano Duet.

CyberpunkCentral · 05-30-2020, 08:29 PM

I'm surprised no one brings up Silver Linings Playbook.

I like so many of his scores. batman was awesome.. I think his underrated score is for Ang lee the hulk from 2003. very different type of score. I saw him in concert with the films of Tim Burton.. it was awesome.. anyone else attend?

Ruemorgue10 · 05-30-2020, 11:27 PM

Batman
Edward Scissorhands
Sleepy Hollow
The Simpsons Theme
Dick Tracy
Darkman

J999 · 05-31-2020, 03:33 AM

Beetlejuice
Batman/Batman Returns
Edward Scissorhands
Nightmare Before Christmas

Honorable mention: The Simpsons Theme

Those are the top for me. The order may change on occasion.. After that? Sleepy Hollow? Dick Tracy? Or the Men in Black movies?

Edward Scissorhands bar none
