...often is the score. if you liked the music back then, chances are high it takes you right where it struck you, back when you watched a flick in its prime. and if it was crap you watched as a youth, especially the soundtrack bears a huge comedic potential :) what are your favourite movie scores? |

Four movie scores really stand out for me: Recently: 1. Drive - Chromatics and Kavinsky get all the love and it's true the latter in particular fits the film like a bright red suede cut off glove, but I have a soft spot for the flawless 80s synth-pop of Desire's . 2. Layer Cake - by Lisa Gerrard. Holy shit this is good. 3. Romeo and Juliet (Baz Luhrman's one) - Radiohead's excellent, yet strangely obscure is particularly good. 4. Trainspotting - Great throughout, not a bad track on it, but Blur's is Damon Albarn at his least punchable*. Not in the same league as the above four's, but a special award for "Good soundtrack, for a shit film" goes to A Life Less Ordinary. Best track on it by a country mile is Sneaker Pimps' . *NB: This is the Seymour version; sadly the pricks at EMI have blocked all the recordings of the Blur version from the film. |

It's silly to say that it's key. It's important in some films but it's not necessary . I doubt many people can remember the music of all their favourite movies. There's some classics though. E.T and Jacob's Ladder are two scores i never forgot from day one. I'm guessing we all remember Star Wars or Superman. 2001 A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange (ok most of his movies). I think it was a necessity when the first movies came out. Hitchcock obviously. Rocky.. Sorry i'm boring myself to sleep. Night night |

Easy ones: Blade Runner The Virgin Suicides (although she seems to use more Moon Safari in the film than the score itself) You and me and everyone we know. Donnie Dickhead. Erm.. the Dumb & Dumber soundtrack! Lost in Translation The Good, the bad and the Ugly. American Beauty? Thomas Newman scores have this nice melancholy feeling. Are we differentiating between score and soundtrack? Anyway, Where the wild things are. Mark Mothersbaugh and Wes Anderson soundtracks in general....Seau Jorge doing Bowie... Ah, there's plenty. Love on a real train in Risky Business and also in the Squid and the Whale. etc... |

Ah yes, how could I forget the most amazing Popul Vuh's music to the Herzog films....amazing. And as RusselDust mentioned Kubrick, I would like to say the Schubert number is fantastic in Barry Lyndon. Nino Rota for Juliet of the Spirits and 8 1/2. And the music for Wicker Man. |

well i said it often is the key, to be a pleasant rewatch. the thread-title itself was mere attention-catching .-) and of course i dont just rewatch it because i was fond of the music. But its a thing that really stands out to me much more than certain lines or even shots or the plot in a matter of getting back to the feeling of the film. Just a few seconds of the score can turn back time and bring me right back at the emotions of the film and to the emotions i had at the age i watched a film. Also i dont rewatch a movie, that hasnt had any other qualities, but the soundtrack and score is one of the key aspect for me for a movie work and especially to link emotions to it. |

once upon a time in america, a fistful of dynamite, bad taste :) for soundtracks for example fear and loathing in las vegas, reservoir dogs and yes definitely trainspotting. i dont have all that many on my mind actually, its just when i rewatch a film its so striking and powerful. Sadly if the score sucks its hard to still enjoy the film. |

considering smell is the sense most closed tied to memory, i think your head is going to explode with nostalgia once we invent smell-o-vision. |

Wim Merten's music for "Belly of an Archtiect" always drops me straight back into the atmos. Same with John Carpenter's scores but most of all "Assault on Precinct 13". The remake of "Solaris" has a great soundtrack. Ummm. |

ah yeah, T1 and Predator burned their way deep into my harddrive aswell. T1´s raw synth score sets the movie on play in my mind instantly and the pop tracks written for it forever connect the music, with 80´s people dancing in slow motion. one of the few soundtrack-cds on my pc, together with blade runner, morricone and tarantino. |

still curious what rather unkown gems appear... the belly of a architect track on youtube the other day was insanely beautyful! |

The score for Pi was pretty good, I mean what director has the balls to put a song from Autechre in their movie, I think it was one of the songs from Incunabula |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The OST stuff on Pi is good too, by Clint Mansell IIRC (who I generally like). |
||||||||
|
|

...Alas, the real Max Cohen is working at Burger King, listening to Mansell's amen breaks, wishing he was as cool as the film. The Burger King manager goes, "Max, you can't come to work with all that paint on your body", then Max replies angrily, "BUT HOW ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE IN BLACK AND WHITE YOU CUNT!!!" *fired and banned from posting on the Burger King message boards* |

The score from the film Contagion is very good. I agree with Portnoy about Barry Lyndon. Also Ernst Reijsegers score for Cave of Forgotten Dreams(Herzog)is almost divine. |

thx for reminder about Contagion, I've seen it recently and my ears noticed lots of yummy electronic sounds throughout |
