Is this a strange obsession? - Blu-ray Forum

Owen Lol · 03-24-2010, 01:42 AM

I have this thing about me whenever I watch movies.. If they have an amazing soundtrack it makes the movie so memorable to me.. Like for instance, the music when the Joker in The Dark Knight pulls off the famous "Why so serious" line.. It sends chills up my spine of how amazing the scene is done. The effect is 10x more powerful in the movie theater.. I just saw Alice in Wonderland, which had an incredible soundtrack.. I was amazed by how well the film was made.. I have no speakers on my TV so I can't really appreciate the music as well as I would like to.

Does anyone else have this feeling? It makes me so, SO excited for movies coming out in the future

.. It makes me think of summer, and how the best movies of the year come out then..

Am I the only one?

It just gives me this insane love of movie feeling.. I find it very hard to explain and a bit embarrassed. I hope I'm not the only one!

Saving Private Ryan is increduous. I don't think that's a word.

But also, the Bourne Trilogy.. That sound track.. It's amazing..

i love a good soundtrack. i collect records of soundtracks/scores of movies i love, mostly 70s-80s horror movies.

GreenScar · 03-24-2010, 01:57 AM

Me too! I think it's funny that sometimes in trailers they use soundtracks from other movies. One used often is the theme from Costner's Robin Hood.

One of my favorites was Last of the Mohicans.

Propellarhead9 · 03-24-2010, 01:57 AM

The soundtrack is really what pulls the movie together.

Totally agree with you Propellarhead

Soundtrack is absolutely a great feature to have in a movie. I actually just got a few Transformers and Pirates soundtrack songs off iTunes.

Mohicans is amazing!!! Especially during the last 20 mins...sends chills every time!

I'm a huge fan of film soundtracks. The moment I was done watching Moon I went on itunes and bought the soundtrack. listen to it almost once a day since I bought it in January. simply amazing.

Phenomenal music, Clint Mansell never disappoints. And I'm with you, Owen, that scene in Dark Knight was perfectly complemented by the score.

Fighter · 03-24-2010, 04:05 AM

Requiem for a Dream is a great one as well.

vegeta88 · 03-24-2010, 04:25 AM

I feel the same way. Alice in Wonderland had a pretty good score to it but I'm kind of partial to Danny Elfman (Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman '89, Spider-Man). Though, I'm not sure if memorable "themes" is what you mean, like Indiana Jones.

I really like the soundtrack for Lord of the Rings. When the music starts at the beginning of each movie, I feel like I am in Middle Earth.

i know.. i was downright nearly in tears at the ending, when they killed that one Mohican Indian..
that was intense.. but they got revenge..

i also re-play
the terminator 2 theme song in my head all day every day god knows why..
i was like lord am i the only one? that thinks of that badass theme song in my head every once in awhile..
i think T2 had some of the great scores in music,

so many great films like Lord of the Rings with Great Music!

curse · 03-24-2010, 04:40 AM

pretty much agree with all the films listed so far including req and moon. terminator 2 though, like said above, gets stuck in my head almost daily. Extremely powerful sound. Soundtrack makes or breaks a movie for me. One of the reasons why i watched moon for the 8th time today just to hear it while i was working

hardcorefrokid · 03-24-2010, 04:41 AM

The soundtrack on Babel is what made the movie for me. It was amazing.

jjbsn5192 · 03-24-2010, 04:44 AM

what about? children of the corn my god.. that creepy music got stuck in my head a few times..
even thought i didnt exactly wanna remember that score..

but there are way too many great scores in films.. that you replay in your head over and over..
sometimes you might be Arnold out and about.. in your own perspective but really be
Gary Coleman at the mall.. pretending to be a hardass..

Atreyu · 03-24-2010, 05:29 AM

The soundtracks for Psycho and Vertigo are mezmorizing. l used to have the dvd of Psycho and they wanted to make a point of how the music enhances the scene so they showed ther shower scene with and without the chilling music. Without, it is not eerie but with is a different story. That scene just sends chills running up and down my spine, no matter how many times l view it.
