Cameron Crowe is the absolute worst at shoehorning all his personal favorite music into his movies even if they don't fit the particular scene one iota. Most notably in Vanilla Sky, Singles, and Elizabethtown, but really in everything he's done except for Almost Famous.
Mychael Danna's work on Moneyball was underrated, I think. He should of at least been nominated for an Oscar. It just went so well with the film. Easily my favorite score of last year.
(I know the vid says "soundtrack", it's not my vid, i didn't name it)
But if you want a blaring grand gangster score, you can't go wrong with this right here.
rules of attraction had a great soundtrack, and as far as TV series go, Scrubs comes to mind, particularly the citizen cope "sideways" episode.
Capt. America had a good song/score
Ennio Morricone was brilliant,but his score to "Mission to Mars" was easily the worst fit to a film i've ever heard. The movie had its own problems,but the music was atrocious.
Its like he wrote it before hand(probably),and it was just slapped over the film without anybody giving it a sneak preview.
"Conan the Barbarian."
'82
Basil Poledouris' score is maybe the best i've ever heard and definately elevated the outta this film.
Main theme kicks in at 1:05 mark....the rest of the score is also the .
Zach Braff simply chooses great music for any of his work, be it "Scrubs," "Garden State," "The Last Kiss," etc...
Hans Zimmer = GOAT
Wes Anderson usually knows what he is doing.
The soundtrack for Dead Man is pretty good.
Thought Giorgio Moroder's score for Scarface was close to perfect.
And yet, as important as the score is to film, you will almost never see the names of the musicians who perform & record it listed in the end credits (sometimes, you MAY see that the XYZ Symphony did it, but most of the time it's a studio orchestra put together for the express purpose of the recording). You'll get the name of the bus driver, the name of the guy who carries the star's rubbers around, but almost never the musicians without whom the filmwould be a hollow s of itself. The reason is supposedly that the musician get performance royalities in lieu of credit.
The musicians themselves often don't even know what film they're working on. They get sheet music and record it in exhausting all-day sessions - the music has cues but rarely the name of the film.
e Lee is one of the few directors who insists his musicians get screen credit.
Carter Burwell is great, works very well with the Coens.
Not the most accurate movie, but this theme truly captures the emotion of the movie. Different parts are used throughout the movie. The most known part starts at 3:43.....
Because of the "score/soundtrack" split in the le I think Burton's Batman counts on both sides for me. The original score, which CF has alluded to in this thread, is great stuff from Danny Elfman. Burton threw in a lot of different touches and artistic styles from a variety of eras (fashion, architecture, vehicles, etc.) that made it hard to pin down exactly when or where Gotham was. Somehow Elfman's score fit it like a glove; managing to be dark and heroic but feeling like it wouldn't be out of place if you had made a Batman movie in any decade.
Then there's the Prince additions to the soundtrack which make the film sound exactly like 1988. None of it's bad music, but it seems to be a more and more jarring disconnect every time I watch the movie now.
Ha, I know we've discussed this before, but I think that Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene is the only musical piece frenetic enough to portray those extremely anxious and frantic scenes; the fact that it is such a modern piece, in the background of a period piece, gives it a sense of "other worldliness" and a level of desperation that not too many people can relate to.
But I totally agree about how sad the ending is. Great movie
EDIT: I forgot to mention that although the saddest ending doesn't happen to the saddest music, the saddest music I've ever heard, Albinoni's ADAGIO IN G MINOR FOR STRINGS & ORGAN, is also very prominent in this film.

A film's music won't ruin the experience for me, but it can enhance it greatly. Tarantino's films stand out, but my favorites are from Jim Jarmusch.
Alan Silvestri has some gems....Forrest Gump, Predator, Back to the Future
Bill Conti Rocky is a given, but appreciated the score in the original Karate Kid.
Bad Movie…Great Soundtrack…
Top Gun
Days of Thunder
127 Hours had a fantastic score/soundtrack. The score for the amputation scene was fantastic. The score in the flash backs fit perfectly.
Music scores is all I hear nowadays.
Out of the top of my head, the movie with the worse soundtrack or score I have seen have to be the Matrix 2 adn 3.
watching it, they mostly played variations of CLU and little of the other songs during that movie
sons, for TV shows I gotta say Battlestar Galactica has the best music, which is surprising seeing as how those cheap bas s at the Sci Fi channel made it.
Lost imo.
Listen to these..
The way the crescendo takes you along for the ride is pretty amazing on the first soundtrack.
