Dadrian Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 We can kill it if it’s already been done. I’ll start off a little off-beat (pun-intended) with “Birdman”. Fantastic film with equally fantastic score by the one and only Brian Blade. Imagine being solely tasked with scoring an entire film with only a drum set—and totally knocking it (another pun-intended) out of the park! Some of you may know my actual musical identity is rooted in traditional jazz as a bassist, so this score was complete nirvana for me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCBman Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 My favorite three are: The Last Temptation of Christ by Peter Gabriel The Piano by Michael Nyman Traffic by Cliff Martinez 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahonu Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) I enjoy The Piano score as well, and would add Simon Wincer’s Quigley Down Under. I’ll have to think more on this one. Edit: I always found Jerry Goldsmith’s score for Planet of the Apes very interesting. He also did Chinatown, which I love, though more visually as a neo-noir film than for its score. I remember the 90’s film Rudy which has very uplifting music in the finale. On TV, he created the very distinct theme for the 70’s series Police Story. He did so much!

The "various artists" album is also great ... Anyway, it is in my TOP 3 movies. Elliot Goldenthal is a great composer. It is a shame we don't call him more often for composing movies soundtracks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalci Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Uhh you guys started this topic with also some of my favorites. Thanks @Vincent Hanna for mentioning Broken Arrow this early since that is might an under the radar for most, but I agree that is Absolutely Essential I was listening that a lot myself too. I have to think about my top 10 but Broken arrow by Hanz Zimmer would be amongst them ! I will start this off with songs that are close to my heart as art pieces. My top 3 songs off Sorcerer OST are : Search - Grind - Betrayal I could go on with other Movie scores, but I will let others to say out their favorites Edited November 9, 2022 by Kalci 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know who scored the original Sabrina, but the first version with Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, and Bill Holden is a better film.

Everybody’s entitled to a wrong opinion. I love that comment! Seriously, I get it, especially if that was the first music you learned to play on the piano. My wife plays piano, guitar, and clarinet, and I sometimes tease her because, according to her, Hot Cross Buns was her first tune. She’s very musically talented as I’m sure you are too. Me, I play the radio best. Edited November 11, 2022 by pahonu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those were in the original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
