This list is incredibly incomplete. You can't use Phantom of the Opera because it started as a musical. There wasn't a single reference to Bernard Hermann (Alfred Hitchcock), Basil Poledouris (Conan, Red October), Howard Shore (The Fly, Ed Wood, Silence of the Lambs, Lord of the Rings) or Jerry Goldsmith (Planet of the Apes 1967, Patton, The Omen, Alien). I call BS!
What about all of hans zimmer's master pieces like gladiator, and of course the lord of the rings soundtrack. I'm also very surprised thAt the graduate isn't on here too. The rest is great though. Good taste!
In my opinion I don't think a great soundtrack is what sounds the best, or has the best songs. A great movie soundtrack is what conveys the emotion, or message of the scene without clear explanation, or direction. If a song/score can do that, it's a good soundtrack.
its a very good list but but BUT... u forgot about "ecstasy for gold" in The good, the bad and the ugly!! ma fav movie soundtrack ever! sad face. :( :P lol but yeah still man good job :)
@proeatr16 #1 was composed by Clint Mansell for the film Requiem for a Dream. He wrote it very much like a classical composer would. Meaning, he uses different variations of the same melody in different parts of the film. So, there are several different versions of that song. The most popular version is called "Lux Aeterna". Then there are softer versions like "Summer Overture". There are also a lot of remixes. The one in my video is called "Requiem For A Tower Movement II-IV"
@AxisMundy Do you really prefer this bombastic, synthasized Two Towers trailer version over the original? It's so overrated, in my opinion.
I like the fact that you included some classical music as well (Mozart, R. Strauss, Purcell, and Bach – my personal favorite – even though it's kind of funny that you chose a cello piece by Bach from a movie with Chopin piano music as the big thing).
Good job, by the way. It's always nice to listen to lists, since you re-discover so much music.
@themysticalirishwolf Yeah. I made this quite a while ago. I forgot a so many great ones. I would also change the order and take some out if I were to do it again.
@AxisMundy Shure, it's OK, tastes change with time. I remember liking something two years ago that I hate now. But shure if you doa "best movie soundtracks" again, I'll watch it! :)
Many of these are great soundtracks. I´ve listened to quite a few, but there´s honestly only one that cathes my interest and concentration right from the start and holds it throughout the whole piece. And THAT is the 7:57 end theme from Jurassic Park. It never won the best original soundtrack Oscar award because of the only reason acceptable to me; Willims had composed the Schindler´s List theme that same year!
It's not best original soundtracks. It's best soundtracks. The Forrest Gump soundtrack is a 2 disc set that includes Elvis, CCR, Dylan, Joan Baez, The Doors, Aretha Franklin, Beach Boys, Jefferson Airplane, and Simon and Garfunkel to name a few.
