    I'm also partial to Danny Elfman soundtracks, although I'm probably biased since Oingo Boingo was one of my favorite bands in high school.


    im fast becoming very tired of danny elfman.. which is a problem cause im a huge tim burton fan.


    star wars

    a tear came to my eye when i heard the first note of the theme when i saw the phantom menace. of course i wept after the film too but for entirely different reasons. 8-)

    I'm a big fan of the score for Born on the Fourth of July. Just perfect for the film. Love the whole soundtrack.

    Yeah, I'd imagine that's a problem :)
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Requiem for a Dream had a great score. Also, its such an intense movie and the music makes it even more.

    Probably one of the hardest to watch films I've ever seen. There's intense and then there's Requiem for a Dream intense!

    Jerry Goldsmith is clearly my favourite composer for movie scores
    (and fifteen years later in this shocking short threat now)

    Let’s add to the thread. I loved the Oppenheimer score. Ludwig is great!

    I’ll add in a few which haven’t been mentioned:
    Gattaca- Michael Nyman
    The Theory of Everything - Jóhann Jóhannsson
    Interstellar - Hans Zimmer
    Last of the Mohicans - Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman
    I’m also a big fan of Max Richter. “On the Nature of Daylight” has been used in many films and series.
