Favorite Movie Music Themes

[DTM]

Id like to see about starting a thread where those who are fans of movie scores can come on and add in their favorites. From John Williams to James Horner, from Jerry Goldsmith to Danny Elfman, from Howard Shore to James Newton Howard, and those are only the beginning.

Music scores in films are one of my favorite aspects of movies, and I know Im not alone. From Star Wars to Laurence of Arabia, from Gone With The Wind to ET, from The Godfather to Rocky, Lord knows we all have our favorite Movie Music (Score) Themes, so lets hear from you ALL about any and all of your favorites (links included would be great), and who knows, a possible Rock Wars for this genre could also be set in the future as well. : )

Raiders (aLL 3) John Williams

[charlesx]

Here are some favorites of mine:

Hans Zimmer - Gladiator soundtrack
Tyler Bates - 300 soundtrack
Howard Shore - The Lord of the Rings (all three movies)

[hail_eris]

For playing any of Sid Meier's Civ games, I've got to say, nothing tops the Hymn to Red October (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPsL2WVhFCc). And if you haven't picked up Peter Gabriel's Passion (OST for The Last Temptation of Christ), I can't recommend it enough. Standout track for me would have to be "A Different Drum" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJs-d-xh6WQ) (here paired with some Jessica Alba cheesecake shots). To add some multiculturalism in your day, check out this poorly-dubbed French version of the climax of Last of the Mohicans (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2376647701941859276&q=last+mohicans&total=419&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=1). I have a friend who took up the violin *just* so she could play a passable version of that song (she's since learned a few more).

[EmperorNorton]

I think my favourite is the theme of Lawrence of Arabia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE3Ar4iRgqI).

[DTM]

OK, so thoughts on this one, but do we want to concern ourselves with Main Themes only, or specific pieces and parts of music within each of the films (I know Lord Of The Rings has tons of great music, but not really a main theme, and even the classic SW Imperial March isnt a Main Theme to Star Wars, or the Love Theme from Superman, yet they are both pretty iconic themselves). So individual pieces or just Main Themes only, what do you say all?

[charlesx]

Good question. I listed complete soundtracks for overall effect. However, individual themes would probably be more specific (for example, I like the main theme of the "Flash Gordon" movie, but not necessarily the rest of the songs.)

[DTM]

Well, yeah, Im not necessarily looking for Entire Albums here, at first just Main Themes specifically, but because there are Alot of great non Main Themes to these classic films, I thought we should be "song" specific, with say no more than 4 or 5 per movie (or 3, whatever we all want). Though it would help to get specific youtube links for your non Main Theme ones, adding in Titles as well (which can be found on Amazon.com easily enough really).

[Pashmina]

What about songs from soundtracks?

If they're allowed;

In The Deep - Bird York (From Crash, essential viewing) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkxnrKotW4o)

To add to the instrumental themes here, I always liked the X-Men movies music too.

I have a friend who took up the violin *just* so she could play a passable version of that song (she's since learned a few more).

Any chance this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMOuIvbh9s4) would suffice for your Last Of The Mohicans pick, buddy? (just trying to get non dialogue or other sound effect clips if I can) And if so, any chance you could give me the actual "song title" for it?

[DTM]

To add to the instrumental themes here, I always liked the X-Men movies music too.

Actually were more looking for orchestral, musical score, themes and music from movies, here. Though the X-Men films fit just fine, care to pick a favorite musical track from them, or are you just going for the default Main Theme approach?

[Gargantua]

Let me reach way back and give a nod to some of the scores of Erich Korngold.

The Sea Hawk
Adventures of Robin Hood
Captain Blood

Korngold was the John Williams of the 30s and 40s. When you heard his thrilling fanfares, you knew you were in for a fun ride.

And while I'm back in the old days, Max Steiner's score for the original King Kong was also well worth mentioning here.

[DTM]

Any chance we could get some links to those G, maybe some actual song titles, or are they all just Main Titles to those films?

[Rokk_Krinn]

Well, being someone beat me to Superman, Jaws and Halloween, I'll mention the other "Oh. Yeah! Them!"-scores. :)

Star Wars Main Theme (I'm looking for a good link)

The Imperial March (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn_95hdy6Nw) (I would like to find a better link here too though the No Doubt version was tempting. :grin: )

Oh, and even though it's television, one of the best scores of all time:

Doctor Who (Murray Gold version to be "modern") (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02hh8_HAGyk) - I would rather find the closing credits (basically the extended version of the one I listed) and I was -this- close to putting in the soundtrack score for "Madame De Pompadour"

[DTM]

Actually I dont believe Jaws has made the list as yet. :) (and sorry Rokk, movie themes only so far....a favorite TV theme thread may be in the future though) :)

[charlesx]

OK, how about this?

Flash Gordon theme by Queen:

Flash Gordon theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNf9rEPoc8Q)

"Princes of the Universe" by Queen, main theme from Highlander:

Princes of the Universe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnrXiaPVeHY)

[DTM]

Sorry charles, were looking for orchestrals scores on this thread, not actually voice sung songs (we already did a ToC on that anyway) :)

[Gargantua]

Any chance we could get some links to those G, maybe some actual song titles, or are they all just Main Titles to those films?

I'll see what I can do, though probably won't be able to do it now.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Actually I dont believe Jaws has made the list as yet. :) (and sorry Rokk, movie themes only so far....a favorite TV theme thread may be in the future though) :)

Well, there've kind-of been Doctor Who movies. :noid: :laugh:

[DTM]

Yep, and the 70s Battlestar Galactica pilot was released in the theatres, doesnt mean Id consider its Classic theme song for this thread though. :) (not when we have about 500 other classic tunes to pick from)

[charlesx]

Sorry charles, were looking for orchestrals scores on this thread, not actually voice sung songs (we already did a ToC on that anyway) :)

Aw, bummer. OK, I understand.

[DTM]

Your initial picks here were great, we just needed them broken down a bit to put them on the List, is all.

[hail_eris]

Actually, the best use of the original Battlestar theme song was in Airplane II...

[charlesx]

Main theme from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan by James Horner

Star Trek II (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fx5oOLurgtg)

[DTM]

Main theme from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan by James Horner

Star Trek II (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fx5oOLurgtg)

Oh nice, bout time we got alittle James Horner in here. :)

And yeah hail, just as Airplane 1 did for the classic Jaws theme, eh.

[charlesx]

Main theme from Conan the Barbarian by Basil Poledouris

Conan the Barbarian (Anvil of Crom) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMHKFdDmmZY&feature=related)

[charlesx]

Concerning Hobbits, from LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring by Howard Shore

Concerning Hobbits (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InAiVAU9lW0&feature=related)

[hail_eris]

Argh! No Morricone? Let's remedy that with:

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGIelcG0r3s)

The Mission (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i53wNgH5wU)

And also - only one Elfman? Gah!

Selina's Transformation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3hl3hSa1lc)

And let's not forget the Terminator 2 soundtrack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXQTzJgU6qc) by Brad Fiedel.

[EmperorNorton]

And more Elfman: Edward Scissorhands (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pGakDE1EyI)

[AlienFlanders]

Harry Lime Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__yo60V8Nzg) - The Third Man

Thus Spake Zarathrustra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWnmCu3U09w) - 2001

This one isn't a theme but it is cool Toccata (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMUCuzUJro4) - Rollerball

[CarlosMucha]

wow, thanks for this thread! is nice to hear this music all the time! :p

[CarlosMucha]

Argh! No Morricone? Let's remedy that with:

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGIelcG0r3s)

The Mission (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i53wNgH5wU)

And also - only one Elfman? Gah!

Selina's Transformation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3hl3hSa1lc)

And let's not forget the Terminator 2 soundtrack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXQTzJgU6qc) by Brad Fiedel.

The Mission was filmed in my country! more than that in my "state" (but don't worry we kill all the indians already, is safe now).

we have civilizacion. please don't think in my country like something from the 18 century! :p

anyways was nice to see the movie "The Mission" fimed in my "state" called "Misiones" in Argentina.

the Iguazu falls are awesome!:

:)

[Pashmina]

Phoenix Rises (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pqfsJwuaWk&feature=related) - X3

:)

[JEFFREYAS]

"Chase" from Midnight Express

[readyeddy?]

I'm a little out of my element here, but I always enjoyed the "Cat People" theme by David Bowie and notice it's different then the version on his CD.

[hail_eris]

Any chance this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMOuIvbh9s4) would suffice for your Last Of The Mohicans pick, buddy? (just trying to get non dialogue or other sound effect clips if I can) And if so, any chance you could give me the actual "song title" for it?
That would work just fine. The song's title is "Promentory" and, contrary to what it says in the video tags there, it's most certainly not "yanni."

[DTM]

Yeah, I was looking at that too, and going, No Way. From memory, wasnt James Newton Howard responsible for this score?

[DTM]

Well, being someone beat me to Superman, Jaws and Halloween, I'll mention the other "Oh. Yeah! Them!"-scores. :)

Star Wars Main Theme (I'm looking for a good link)

The Imperial March (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn_95hdy6Nw) (I would like to find a better link here too though the No Doubt version was tempting. :grin: )

Oh, and even though it's television, one of the best scores of all time:

Still looking for links for the Star Wars Main Title and Jaws theme there buddy? Something tells me those musical classics shouldnt be too hard to locate. :)

[Drunky]

A few more:

Chase (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4VkYRpDAkQ&feature=related) (Midnight Express - Giorgio Moroder) (skip the first 90 seconds of the video)

Heat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKjMl60OvBU&feature=related) (main theme - I think it's Brian Eno, but I'm not sure)

Kids Return (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqs-ZFhoQh0) (main theme - Joe Hisaishi)

American Beauty (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDXjnW3nIWg&feature=related) (sorry, I couldn't find it without the dialogues... - I don't know if it's the main theme, and I don't know who the composer is either)

Assault on preccinct 13 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4y1tnp8gUk) (John Carpenter)

The Patrol Car (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3QcS2iovss) (Psycho - Bernard Herrmann)

There are a bunch of others from Hisaishi and Carpenter, but I have trouble finding links. I'll come back if I can find any.

[VelvetGuru9]

Two guys I would have nominated are already on there. Max Steiner for Gone With the Wind and Howard "I'm really hard to work with" Shore.

I see no Mancini though. How do you leave off the guy who has 18 Oscar noms and two wins for best score.

Peter Gunn
Pink Panther
Breakfast at Tiffany's
The Thorn Birds
Victor/Victoria
et. al.

[Gargantua]

Any chance we could get some links to those G, maybe some actual song titles, or are they all just Main Titles to those films?

Okay, it took me a bit of searching, but here's an excerpt from the Sea Hawk Main Title by Erich Wolfgang Korngold

The Sea Hawk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRAGgIY_lsA)

Still worknig on finding a good version of some of the others.

[AlienFlanders]

You didn't like my Rollerball suggestion?

How about Bridge on the River Kwai (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiM5NUOKcSg)

[spacedye]

How hasn't Jurassic Park been mentioned yet? Yeah, John Williams is all over the list but Jurassic Park is one of his best.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOmJLk1lu08&feature=related

Or how about the Ecstasy of Gold by Ennio Morricone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdNh9f2Wwm0). Maybe the best.

[CarlosMucha]

I can't imagine our World without John Williams. How much magic and wonderful sounds he bring to our lifes.

[VelvetGuru9]

What about the score written by Jimmy Page for Death Wish II and Keith Emerson of ELP for Night Hawks wih Sylvestor Stallone, Harmagedon, and I know we can't count this one, but c'mon, he composed the music for the old Iron Man cartoons of the 90s.

[DTM]

Well get some links set up and we can see about adding them in already. :)

[DTM]

Wow.....this guys a nutter.....yet Im strangely compelled to keep watching his videos: :p

Batman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUPBgYeanZ0&feature=user)
James Bond (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc17zmeMlSI)
Superman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELNh23yRiJc&feature=user)
Halloween (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3kLI2oyd6I&feature=user)
Jaws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCHtdh1snzY&feature=user)
Back To The Future (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GheAd59anbU&feature=user)

[DTM]

Lets see if we cant get some renewed interest on this one:

The Exorcist (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVs8_-c-dCQ) (Tubular Bells) - Mike Oldfield
Dr. No (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii1tc493bZM) (Main James Bond Theme - Classic) - Monty Norman/John Barry
Tomorrow Never Dies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P79cVnDmzB0) (Main James Bond Theme) - Moby

[Truffle Shuffle]

Here are some favorites of mine:

Hans Zimmer - Gladiator soundtrack
Tyler Bates - 300 soundtrack
Howard Shore - The Lord of the Rings (all three movies)

Love the Lord of the Rings soundtracks.

[Truffle Shuffle]

Pirates of the Caribbean (Klaus Badelt) has a pretty decent soundtrack as does The Gangs of New York (Howard Shore).

[DTM]

I think were going more specific "songs" here TF, not just the overall score of each movie. If you can, feel free to post actual "song" titles and links to your favorite movie themes, and Ill be more than happy to add them in to our list. :)

[Truffle Shuffle]

My bad. Here's one of my favorites from Narnia, composer Harry Gregson-Williams:

To Aslan's Camp (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSLUIC418BY&feature=related)

[Truffle Shuffle]

And from Dead Man's Chest by Hans Zimmer:

Up is Down (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhJMifMGUAY&feature=related)

[CarlosMucha]

And from Dead Man's Chest by Hans Zimmer:

Up is Down (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhJMifMGUAY&feature=related)


wow! I love music like this! thanks!

[DTM]

Hey all. Just letting you know that Ive fully updated the Main List (on Post 1 here), and added a few more of my own. So if you have any more suggestions, any favorite movie themes or composers you dont see represented there, just chime in and let me know (preferably with track title and and link) :)

[mmac27]

The Indiana Jones music is probily my favorite

[The Mattador]

I don't know if anyone has said this one, but I love the score from Napoleon Dynamite! The instrumental music is just classic material!

[DTM]

Well, if you can find a link and the title for that, or any, such piece of music, post it here and Ill add it to the list.

[The Mattador]

The composer is John Swihart and the soundtrack includes sound bites from the movie, instrumentals, and actual songs played during the movie. Here's the link:

http://www.amazon.com/Napoleon-Dynamite-John-Swihart/dp/B0002XL1WG

[krazydragon23]

Rocky! I also lked the Rudy theme
