Hayley Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I started thinking about this (thanks to Raven and Classic fm) and now I can't stop. What do you think is the best film score/ soundtrack?? I'm going to start with a potentially controversial one but the first thing that came to my mind was the Jurassic Park theme. I just always loved it and it really sounds like discovery and adventure to me. I also always loved the theme from The Secret Garden, but I don't think it's technically as good: The Secret Garden Piano Theme Music - YouTube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this, the Daily Mail? 😂 I actually want to add a third option to mine, which I can’t believe I forgot to post. I love absolutely love ‘Concerning Hobbits’: https://youtu.be/SRgBI0WqWp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Mine varies, Jaws is a very clever use of music, then of course there is Star Wars, which is iconic - both by John Williams. Lord of the Rings is also stunning. I don't really think I have a favourite as such, different types of music suit different genres of film.

muggle not Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) You all are too young to have seen the Movie Picnic starring William Holden and Kim Novak but the dance scene and music....Moonglow / Picnic are pretty good. You need to watch at least half of the Dance scene to get to the good part of the music. https://youtu.be/_DBoMIi8bYc Edited April 9, 2021 by muggle not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muggle not Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Another great soundtrack was from the 1955 movie of the same name "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing". I have attached a version of the song sung by the Four Aces as it became the biggest hit. https://youtu.be/GnDtxiNwDS8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talisman Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 For me its the score from the film The Gladiator. I always come back to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 There are so many wonderful film scores but I particularly love this music by Michael Nyman from The Piano. https://youtu.be/rfpHj1lC5Yk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayley Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Madeleine's films are the only ones so far that I've actually seen but I'm discovering a lot of lovely new music from this thread!

About a woman who discovers she has a strange connection with an identical doppelganger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqcgpRf31zU Edited April 12, 2021 by Hux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film looks really intriguing. Haunting was probably closer to what I meant. It is beautiful but it has a surreal quality and it feels quite emotionally complicated, if that makes sense.

Disturbing works as a description. It's all of those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
