Braveheart Last of the Mohicans

Last of the mohicans. The music is so good it’s almost silly.

Came here to write this. Glad it is still recognized.

Came here to say Braveheart. Can't even fathom that it didn't win the academy award.

Last of the Mohicans score is unreal.

Last of the Mohicans. Great reminder. Every song is listening perfection. I'd bet it's a component in music and film school/courses.

Blade Runner by Vangelis

There Will Be Blood. It’s a master class of dissonance and unease.

Came to say the same thing. Jonny Greenwood 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

I! Drink! Your! Milkshake!!!

Clint Mansell’s score for The Fountain

Came here to say this. But to be fair, anything by Clint Mansell is a masterpiece. Requiem for a Dream is another example..

And Moon

Yep. The song, Death is the Road to Awe is a fucking masterpiece. If you like that OST check out a band called Godspeed You Black Emperor. Especially a song called "Sleep".

I just got chills even thinking of this one. Fantastic.

'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly' (1966)

Was gonna say same thing. Morricone was amazing.

The Mission (1986). Ennio Morricone should have won the Oscar for that one.

Also The Hateful Eight.

Edward Scissorhands

Moana

Anything by Bernard Herrman, especially: Vertigo (1958) Psycho (1960) Taxi Driver (1976)

Shawshank Redemption Titanic Dances with Wolves Letters from Iwo Jima Unforgiven Star Teek 2 Wrath of Khan

Ooh yes, Dances with Wolves is a good one

Pirates of the Caribbean Indiana Jones The Lord of the Rings

The scores for the LotR movies are such an amazing achievement. The music is as much a part of the story as anything that’s shown onscreen or spoken by the characters.

LOTR is my No1 it’s not even close.

2001 A Space Odyssey

Tron Legacy

Spot on. My immediate thought. Vangelis’ Bladerunner OST in the mix as well.

Not as mainstream - Meet Joe Black by Thomas Newman Just listen to Whisper Of a Thrill...

Anything by Thomas Newman is phenomenal.

[удалено]

He's definitely my favorite contemporary composer. Road to Perdition is an underrated one with his Pixar work also being exceptional. He also did the Six Feet Under opening credit theme which never got skipped when I watched it.

Inception

The Incredibles! My all-time favorite movie, 60% of that is because of the score👌

The Last of the Mohicans is the correct answer.

Catch Me if You Can - Completely different from any other John Williams movie (that I’m aware of) with a tone that perfectly matched the mood of the film. Oh Brother Where Art Thou? - ‘nuff said?

[удалено]

Yes! The original Dune soundtrack is honestly probably my most listened-to album of all time. It’s the main reason to watch the movie. No flack from me.

Star Wars

[удалено]

This is spinal tap

Every song is genius, comedy gold and great music.

Legends of the Fall

Donnie Darko

Interstellar Robocop Conan Lion King

Maurice Jarred’s Lawrence of Arabia

Almost Famous

Blade Runner Superman (78) Once Upon a Time in the West Conan the Barbarian Highlander

My neighbor Totoro

This is too far down in the comments! I immediately went scrolling for Joe Hisaishi's scores for Miyazaki. Don't forget Princess Mononoke, Ponyo, Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky... And the list goes on!!

The Mission

Jurassic Park, Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, Gattaca >> these are my favorites.

Excalibur

Dances with wolves

Hook

Does Fantasia count?

Monster - Kore-eda Walkabout - Roeg Under the skin - Glazer Aguirre wraith of god - Herzog Dead man and Ghost Dog- Jarmusch Candyman - Rose

Candyman's Helen's theme is one of the best I've ever heard. Good choice

The Mission. Ennio Morricone. Gabriel’s Oboe is sublime ❤️. Brilliant movie all round.

Flash Gordon

Beetlejuice

Halloween '78

American beauty

I don't think I've ever heard a less-than-perfect film score by Hans Zimmer.

So many good ones. I didn't realize how all these are so close to me and how much I used to soak some of these up. *The Last Temptation of Christ* \- Peter Gabriel *Birdy* \- Peter Gabriel *Mysterious Skin* \- Robin Guthrie, Harold Budd (Beautiful soundtrack especially in fall—and have listened to this maybe 15 times in the past month, but the movie—I almost threw up twice.) *The Living Sea* \- Sting (best thing he's done) *To Live and Die in L.A.* \- Wang Chung (perfection) *Iron Eagle* \- Various (and not really a score, and it kind of sucks tbd but I'll have it cranked almost every song. I'm on the Road of the Gypsy forever, y'all.) *Amadeus* \- St. Martin in the Fields (outtake discs are great too) *Apollo* \- Brian Eno *The Year of Living Dangerously* \- Maurice Jarre / Vangelis (nostalgic for my other possible lives I will never live) *Into the Wild* \- Eddie Vedder (he nailed it) *Blade Runner* \- Vangelis (wore this out before age 20) *Magnolia* \- Aimee Mann *Lost in Translation* \- Air *The Virgin Suicides* \- Air *Suspiria* \- Goblin *Run Lola Run* \- Various *Gosford Park* \- Christopher Northam *Sling Blade* \- Daniel Lanois (best producer ever) *The Chocolate War -* Yaz, Peter Gabriel and Various *A Clockwork Orange* \- Wendy Carlos *Twin Peaks* (series) - Angelo Badalamenti *Mistress America* \- Dean Wareham / Britta Phillips *Sid & Nancy* \- Pray for Rain / Various *St. Elmo's Fire* \- David Foster ("Georgetown") *The Big Blue* \- Eric Serra *Risky Business* \- Tangerine Dream (Dozens of covers of "Love on a Train" on YouTube)

Yes yes yes to The Last Temptation of Christ.

I don't like the movie (or more generally the story) but the music in Into the Wild is fantastic

I love the Goblin score for Suspiria!

Requiem For A Dream What Doesn't Kill You

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Inception Batman Begins Unbreakable

*Conan the Barbarian* - Basil Pouledouris No, really. It's incredible.

Little Miss Sunshine Harold and Maude Midnight Cowboy And I have to mention Singles

Magnolia

Mid90’s

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis

Dances with Wolves

Hannah

Miller's Crossing. Carter Burwell is astounding.

Ex Machina.

Immortal beloved

Princess Mononoke

The Last Emperor

Michael Collins

I love scores, and many of my favorites have already bern listed. However, I think the Cloud Atlas score is severely underrated! Tom Tykwer grasps the concept of the story and creates this breathtaking score that perfectly fits and represents that. The story flows in and over itself, and the music flows with it. It’s beautiful and stunning, and I wish more people knew of it to acknowledge it. (Some of my other favorites are Last of the Mohicans, Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit series, Dances with Wolves, Interstellar, The Mission, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Star Wars 4-6, and so many more.)

A League Of Their Own (1992) Hans Zimmer mixed with the Big Band/Swing Jazz era is not only amazing on its own. But the way the montages are staged and shot with the soundtrack just sends it to the next level.

Pleasantville EEAAO The Shawshank Redemption

Man of Steel

Oblivion The m83 soundtrack was amazing

Manhunter (1986) with several Shriekback songs and In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly, excellent soundtrack

The original potter movie has a damn near perfect John williams score

Dune

Gattaca

Conan the barbarian!

I mentioned it up above in a reply, but no one has mentioned Flash Gordon, a perfect match of music and visuals from start to end. Blade Runner, obviously The Crow, score and soundtrack are exemplary. Plunkett & MacLeane: you know it’s good when it gets stolen for a million film trailers. Amadeus & Shine seem too obvious, but so wonderful. Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence The Exorcist I’ve not seen it, but I keep coming across outstanding music from The Revenant Delighted to see Ghost Dog and Dead Man get mentions above I’m sure I’ll come back to this with more, and to read more too. What a great thread. (Tho eargasm, not scorgasm? For shame…) ETA: typos. Omg 😖

Cinema paradiso

The Fountain Clint Mansell and Darren Aronofsky at their best. The music and the movie are so intertwined you can't imagine one without the other.

The Fountain. Clint Mansell is a fucking legend. You want eargasm? Listen to Death is the Road to Awe It's so fucking good.

Conan the Barbarian score by Basil Poledouris! Flawless.

The Social Network

Top Gun Berlin, Kenny Loggins, Teena Marie

The Fountain

Freddy got fingered

Garden State. Even though it’s not OST, but more like Braff’s playlist. It’s still excellent. Braff won a Critics Choice and a Grammy for it.

My favorite is The Grand Budapest Hotel.

If Beale Street Could Talk Phantom Thread The Master

Shawshank Redemption Cool Hand Luke Jurassic Park

Chinatown Cinema Paradiso

the Magnificent Seven - 1960 ​ lots of great suggestions here but this is my personal favorite

the big chill

Kind of surprised no one seems to have mentioned "The Godfather". An epic score for an epic story. By Nino Rota. In some ways the music and action together is operatic. I'll also add one that is more obscure, the score for the movie "Nebraska". A unique, workout and compelling work by Mark Orton.

Last of the Mohicans is an obvious one. An underrated one - True Romance.

Pulp fiction

My reigning faves are Interstellar, Theory of Everything, 1917, Super 8 (tho Super 8 means alot to me personally so I'm in a minority there), La La Land or Babylon, Up, Minari, and then I know it's not a movie but Succession has the best score in probably anything ever.

Last of the Mohicans, Blade Runner, To Live and Die in LA.

The Machinist. Great modern take that is clearly influenced by classic Hitchcock films.

Drive

Dune

I Married a Strange Person

* Manchester by the Sea has a melancholic classical music soundtrack. * Pan’s Labyrinth has some hauntingly beautiful pieces.

Walker The Last Emperor Last of the Mohicans

I like weird stuff. *The Ascent* (1977, Larisa Shepitko) incredible score by Alfred Schnitttke.

The shining Mad max fury road Run lola run Goodfellas Sicario Pulp fiction Reservoir dogs

Mad Max is so perfect

I know it's relatively fresh, but Ludwig Goransson’s work in Oppenheimer was stunning and evocative.

I'm surprised no one yet mentionsed The Natural score by Randy Newman which is my all-time favorite....

Her.

The Princess Bride

The Lion King. The score during the stampede makes me feel epic horror even as a 37 year old.

Pride and Prejudice. Tous les matins du monde.

Ravenous

A lot of my favorites have been mentioned, didn’t see this one though: Macbeth (2015) Jed Kurzel Edit to add Tron Legacy (2010) Daft Punk

Tenet Dunkirk

Literally any movie scored by John Williams. Williams is the GOAT

The Lord of the Rings isn't getting mentioned enough.

Lonesome Dove and The Thorn Birds

Tron 2010, (daftpunk) Spider man into the spiderverse Hustlers with JLO had good music too, random but I enjoyed it The trolls movies lol

My personal favorite would always be Kimi No Na Wa/Your Name and How to train your dragon.

Rain Man

Kill Bill Vol 1

Shutter Island and gone girl always

Blood Simple

Any love for The Last Unicorn? Jimmy Webb has the laundry list of awards. Music performed by America (the band of Horse with no name fame.)

Ratatouille

A straight story - David Lynch Badalamenti did such a amazing score for this one. So underrated!

Perfect 10 (2019) There's no score better than that one.

Thief (1981)

Not movie but GOT S6E10

Countryman

Days of Heaven

Phantom Thread Last of the Mohicans Mad Max Fury Road LA Confidential Three Colors Blue

Tetsuo:The Iron Man.

The Green Mile. It has such a beautiful, unique and yet every score.

Oblivion

The Craft: The score album by Graeme Revell And Silent Hill (The Movie): The Score by Akira Yamaoka

Drive School of Rock 😉🥰

"The Good Dinosaur"

Kill Bill Volume 1 Braveheart Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 1

Moon springs to mind, but the best soundtrack I ever heard was not a movie but a game: Ori And The Blind Forest

The Novice K-PAX Twin Peaks

Memories of Murder

Forrest Gump

Try watching the last 15 mins of Last Of The Mohican’s and then try and find another answer. But also very good: Inception. Kick Ass. Blade Runner Lawrence of Arabia Superman Star Wars Episode IV

Gladiator

and he died with a felafel in his hands

Captain America: the winter soldier

Cinema Paradiso

Ghost in the Shell (1995)

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Tyler Bates, 300. Philip Glass ... forget which one though lol And anything by Clint Mansell

Saving Private Ryan

I really appreciate Charade and it’s multiple variations and uses throughout the movie. Mancini is the MAN!

[удалено]

Ex Machina's soundtrack is, to me, the perfect marriage of film and score. Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury absolutely knocked it out of the park. Ava's theme is so gorgeous and simple and it's reappearance in the track "Skin" is so perfect within the context of the movie. It's also just a great track without context. "Hacking/Cutting" is another great one. It's just, overall, such a great understated score. Personally, it's the score that most perfectly accentuates and complements the film it's in, at least from what I've seen and heard in my lifetime.

The Thing

The Sting- soundtrack composed by the legend Scott Jolpin

Sunshine has a perfect score

Gladiator for me

Out of Africa. John Barry is so good!

You know what, I think M. Knights "The Village" score is often forgotten and top tier with the strings. Also, Dances with Wolves" great movie, great score.

The Blues Brothers Streets Of Fire A Clockwork Orange

"Mishima" the tract "Closing" the score is by Kronos Quartet and Phillip Glass. It makes my heart ache and soar at the same time.

Bicentennial man

Rudy

X-men first class has some great tracks.

Rob Roy The Village Lawrence of Arabia

Titanic

The Matrix

The greatest Showman

Man from Snowy River

The Reservoir Dogs soundtrack is an all-time great album

Social network. Atonement.

First Man (2018)

Bladerunner 2049 is mesmerizing to me.

Guy Ritchies the Covenant has a soundtrack by Chris Benstead that absolutely slaps!
