The Lion King - Hans Zimmer

Return to Oz - David Shire

I've always loved the haunting "Home" theme and the Rag March at the end.

Rich65 · 12-08-2012, 09:32 PM

Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It is an absolute crime Jerry Goldsmith did not win an oscar for this wonderful score.

Tomorrow Never Dies - David Arnold

cinemaphile · 12-09-2012, 07:29 PM

probably 70% of my music collection is film scores and soundtracks. Just a few of my many favorites:

The obvious:
Star Wars (all)
Indiana Jones (all)
E.T.
Jurassic Park
Pirates of the Caribbean (all) - Hans Zimmer & co.

The rest:
Ghostbusters - Elmer Bernstein
Back to the Future - Alan Silvestri
Die Hard - Michael Kamen
Goonies - Dave Grusin
Forrest Gump - Alan Silvestri
Gremlins - Jerry Goldsmith
Princess Bride - Mark Knopfler
T2 - Brad Fiedel

Speed - Mark Mancina
Mr & Mrs Smith - John Powell
Way of the Gun - Joe Kraemer
Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
Open Range
Shakespeare in Love - Stephen Warbeck

...and many, many, many more. I am a little disappointed by the lack of many memorable soundtracks in the last 10 years or so.

Wes Blu-ray · 12-09-2012, 07:31 PM

Batman (1989) - Danny Elfman

Ghostbusters - Elmer Bernstein

Jaws - John Williams

Trigger89 · 12-09-2012, 08:07 PM

Alan Silvestri has composed some of the best pieces of motion picture score IMO. Some of my favorite movies that he has composed include Predator, Back to the Future Trilogy and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Other favorite scores include:

Black Rain - Hans Zimmer

Cop Land - Howard Shore

Taxi Driver - Bernard Herrmann

Terminator 2 - Brad Fiedel

Unbreakable - James Newton Howard
