best movie themes

Chinatown (the first part)

This score always sends shivers down my spine. It somehow manages to capture the seedy undertones of the film and the glamorous Golden Age of Hollywood.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Jon Brion

[riseagainst]

Surface of the Sun - John Murphy

From the movie Sunshine.

But most of you probably associate it with the new X-Men Trailer.

James Horner GOAT composer and conductor of film music ......too many to choose from

If I can also throw in one series it's True Detective

For me, the GOAT American composer was Bernard Herrmann.

He did a lot of Hitchcock's films, Citizen Kane, and Taxi Driver!

He's like Hans Zimmer, except with a lot more depth and he actually scored good movies

*Insert random LOTR theme*

[Myth]

Too many to list all. Here are some that come to mind at this particular moment for me:

Bond - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye8KvYKn9-0

Casino Royale - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg5lI6NCBxE

(I'd list Live or Let Die, but Guns N Roses topped the one actually for the movie; other Bond songs are worthy as well)

Robocop - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_AkU8wJ1ZA

Predator - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSqw9Yn_RMQ

Mission: Impossible - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtyByefOvgQ

Ghost Busters - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9We2XsVZfc

Top Gun - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siwpn14IE7E
(Song is better than the entire movie IMO)

Rocky - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioE_O7Lm0I4

Rocky 3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btPJPFnesV4

Jurassic Park - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOmJLk1lu08

Easy Rider - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJS8j9YYB9w


And of course most anything by John Williams

[JohnFreeman]
