He said...death was his father's road to awe.

Tron's soundtrack was pretty amazing as well.

Recogniser was my favorite track, tbqh.



Now I know people tend to gush over John Williams' work an awful lot, but there's a reason for it

He's pure musical talent





On the other end of the spectrum here's a guy who can compose, direct and edit all by his lonesome (which is pretty fuckin' good talent if you ask me)



There's something special about The Spirit soundtrack. It has pretty wistful harmonica and oboe sounds along with that sweeping feeling that David Newman typically brings to his composition. The soundtrack complements the sheer absurdity in the movie very, very nicely, and backs up grand sequences very well too.

EDIT: I know a lot of you consider The Spirit to be a terrible movie, but fuck yall I enjoyed the hell out of it because it was so batshit insane XD

considering what day it is today...


On that subject, I remember listening to Revenge of the Sith's opening when my bro bought the soundtrack and when I heard it for the very first time I got shivers down my spine by the shit getting real as soon as the opening crawl music ended :monster:

The opening sequence of Revenge of the Sith almost singlehandedly redeemed the prequels. Almost.

HOW?! How was this forgotten?!



Anything and everything out of all three of these movies is absolutely amazing. Bar none.

Not in any particular order: "Highway to the Danger Zone! I'll take you right in to the Danger Zone!" Ah, back in the 80s. I remember songs from the Top Gun's OST being played all the time when I was a kid. Saturday Night Fever's OST is made almost of Beegee's songs, which is not a bad thing. When has an OST from a film had such an impact on the music industry since? Not that popularity means anything, when it comes to one's personal tastes. I certainly dislike Top Gun's OST now.

I can't believe nobody posted this yet:

"Now We are Free" - Hans Zimmer, Gladiator



Hans Zimmer is a god. Another from him that literally drove me to tears:



Also this cult movie from the 70's, Vampyros Lesbos (yep, that's right, Lesbian Vampires :desu: ) has one of the best soundtracks ever:

Lord of the Rings. Whenever I listed to the tracks it feels like I'm inside the movie :>

Here are my personal favorites:

Bridge of Khazad Dum

-This is just suspenseful and the chanting men with drums is awesome. Combined with the scene this music is just so perfect.

Breaking of the Fellowship - so beautiful and gives me friendship feels

Samwise the Brave - made the Hobbit's theme sound epic, and this sounds touching

King of the Golden Hall (Rohan's theme in general)
- it's just majestic and beautiful and some of the parts is fitting to Eowyn- a heroic lady.

Evenstar
- It feels just like sadness in the passing of time, Arwen's fate basically.

Into the West - perfect ending music, beautiful lyrics. The song was actually inspired by a real person, a 17 year old filmmaker who has cancer. Jack allowed him to be on the set, meet the actors and even lend their equipment to him. I think he died before the films were finished.
 
Collateral has a fantastic soundtrack.




And of course:

The sounds from the Stanley Kubrick films which make an eerie addition to the already mysterious atmosphere.
From the top of my head, other soundtracks i like are: Once upon a time in America, LOTR, Scarface, the good the bad & the ugly, and star wars.

How come I didn't see this earlier? :monster:

There are too many OSTs that I like, but I'll try to make a selection.















Because listening to this track I always pictured Smaug burning down Lake Town :monster:





















Sorry, I can't think of more right now :monster:
 

Marcus

Consumed By Darkness
Hmmmmm

You know shit's about to get real when this starts playing :monster:

Personally I love the entire soundtrack to the LoTR trilogy but this is my favorite from the OST.

Another one where I think the entire OST is phenomenal, but this is perhaps the most popular track.

Myself and Amizon used to fangasm over this track so much when Avengers first came out and it still gets me pumped for the movie.


I could list a lot of Disney songs on here, put it would probably become a tl;dr post :monster: Circle of Life is not only my favorite song from the Lion King but my favorite Disney song followed by Phil Collins and the Tarzan OST and then Hercules :monster:

EDIT:

Oblivion (2013) is an underrated film that I love but I wouldn't have loved it as much without the epic soundtrack by M83.

I think it was pure genius to blend the overly dramatic, powerful soundtrack with the clean, bland, and very isolated look of the film.


This one plays during a love scene in a pool (some fans are arguing over its 'inappropriateness' but I think it works just fine)


Another great track.


This is just one of my favorite songs of all time.

A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, Let It Be, Star Wars, the Lion King, and Flash Gordon have some of my favorite soundtracks.
