John Williams - The Imperial March

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bzWSJG93P8

It is probably overplayed but the Imperial Death March is pretty freakin' awesome.

 

[PrinceofWands]

Conan the Barbarian - whole damn thing.

I was expecting that song by Falco!! I am so disappointed.


and BTW that shouldn't count as a film score since it was written for another medium.

Meh, I just thought of the scores I actually own and listen to on a somewhat regular basis and that's one of them.

Stanley Kubrick is the man when it comes to fusing music and film.

Michael Nyman - Morrow (from Gattaca)

In fact if you haven't heard the entire OST, it's incredible.

 

[Patt]

The Mission --> Ennio Morricone
Braveheart --> James Horner
The Power of One --> Hans Zimmer
Passion --> Peter Gabriel

All of them unreal. To lazy to find links.

[Chapbass]

Star Trek (new one)

Lord of the Rings

Gladiator

Braveheart is pretty good



How about Enemy at the Gates?!?!? with its 4 notes over and over and over and over and over?

 

[konakid7]

The Tarzan soundtrack, done by phil collins, is awesome. Don't overlook it just cause it's a cartoon

 

[Homerboy]

I'm used to hearing soundtrack instead of score these days so I figured I should just title the thread soundtrack. I'll edit the title for accuracy anyway

But a score is not a soundtrack. They are two very distinctly different things:

A film score is the background music of a film (which is generally categorically separated from songs used within a film).[1] The term soundtrack may be confused with film score. A soundtrack, however, contains everything audible in the film including sound effects and dialogue. Soundtrack albums may also include songs featured in the film as well as previously released music by other artists. A score is written specifically to accompany a film, by the original film's composer(s).[2]

Definitely Last of the Mohicans.
O Brother Where Art Thou
Gladiator

Three of my top picks, also Gangs of New York. "Signal To Noise" is so awesome and I still think that the combination of it with the opening battle is tremendous.

 

[AndroidVageta]

The Bourne Trilogy has some damn good tunes...all composed my John Powell...some very compelling strong tracks.
