Film Scores

The scores for:

October Sky - a little repetitive

Platoon - mostly just Samuel Barber's Adagio

Up - gonna learn to play "The Ellie Badge" on the piano even if it's sappy.

are all really good.

Other films with good scores?

I like the First Harry Potter Score , really creepy.

Akira.

INLAND EMPIRE

Ghost in the Shell II

Babel

Blade Runner

Just listened to Rabbits Theme from Inland Empire. Was excellent.

edit: One more reason to see Moon which has always intrigued me.

ALMOST anything by Carter Burwell (Adaptation, In Bruges, A Serious Man)

I like the score to Paprika, real nice Korean pop kinda stuff.

Blue Velvet ~ Angelo Badalamenti

Solaris ~ Cliff Martinez

Ran ~ Toru Takemitsu

The Thing ~ Ennio Morricone/John Carpenter

Hellraiser ~ Christopher Young (Coil submitted a score but Barker ended up using Young)

Close Encounters of the third kind ~ John Williams

Wendy Carlos is amazing. Check out her Sonic Seasonings album if you haven't already, and of course her contributions to The Shining's OST are amazing

I'm a big Wendy fan , i have The Well-Tempered Synthesizer on Vinyl (The only Vinyl i actually own.)

And yes , Sonic Seasonings is amazing.

im watching the first terminator right now and im finding the score pretty impressive

also i was watching an early michael mann film last night called 'the keep' and it has a pretty solid tangerine dream score

^Forgot all about the Terminator score. I love those heavily muffled metallic percussion sounds.
