Favorite Movie Soundtracks (or parts of them)
The two that immediately came to mind were:
Conan the Barbarian (Ahhhhnold version): Basil Poledouris created a score that carried the dramatic intent very well.
Restoration (Robert Downey Jr.): Loved the film, loved the score.
The tango portions from the following, make a fantastic grouping:
True Lies, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Scent of a Woman, and Chocolat (yes, that is spelled correctly)
What are some of your favorite musical moments from film?

Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead, Lost Highway, and a little-known indie called Bang! featuring some great third-wave.

Last of The Mohicans. Particularly the final climax. I never been so glad to see a bad guy die, and that music was pushing the action.
Legend (1985), the Tangerine Dream version. As much as I would prefer an Akiva GOldman score to Tangerine Fream, their music gave this medieval setting movie this otherworldly sound.
Manhunter. Tangerine Dream again. Gave the movie a haunting sound.
Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan. This masterpiece kicks off with the first encounter between Khan and Kirk. The beat serving to make our own hearts race.

I like Korngold's scores he did for Errol Flynn's swashbucklers: The Adventures of Robin Hood, Captain Blood, and the Sea Hawk.

As far as scores, I agree - love Korngold. Vangelis' score for Blade Runner was fantastic as well.

That Vangelis score was great. Especially the music that leads in to the speech.Mikey wrote:As far as scores, I agree - love Korngold. Vangelis' score for Blade Runner was fantastic as well.

Definitely Poltergeist. At the start of the film it's just perfect for a beautiful summers day it makes you think that nothing could be wrong with the world, and then...

I also love the work John Barry did for the James Bond series.
As far as actual soundtracks go, I like Dick Tracy, featuring Madonna; Streets of Fire, particularly the two songs by Fire, Inc; and The Mask (love Hey, Pacchuco)

How to Train Your Dragon (John Powell) -- The whole soundtrack is amazing, but I especially love the "Forbidden Friendship" and "Test Drive" pieces.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 (John Powell) -- A perfect follow-up on the first movie. My particular favorite here was "Toothless Found". The music works perfectly with a similar scene I wrote in my third Draconia book, a month before the movie came out.
Oblivion (M83) -- Another amazing soundtrack all the way through, but especially everything from "Raven Rock" through "Fearful Odds" on the CD. I wrote the climax of the climax of my third Draconia book to "Fearful Odds".
Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith (John Williams) -- "Battle of the Heroes"/"Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan"
Interstellar (Hans Zimmer) -- "No Time for Caution"

There is some blood and gore at the end of the video.
