Your Favourite film score?

[Whataguy!]

I'm a big fan of film scores and have a slew of sountrack CDs. But my big three are:

Silverado — Bruce Broughton
E.T. — John Williams
American President — Marc Shaiman

[ttw]

My favorite film composers are Dmitri Tiomkin, Elmer Bernstein, and Miklos Rosza. Other good ones are David Raksin, Henry Mancini, Ennio Morricone, Alfred Newman, and Bernard Herrmann. I can't pick an absolute favorite.

Some movies to check out:

Tiomkin: Giant, Rio Bravo, Dial M for Murder
Bernstein: The Magnificent Seven, The Rat Race, Spies Like Us
Rosza: Quo Vadis, Spellbound
Raksin: Laura, Force of Evil
Mancini: Darling Lili, Touch of Evil, Victor Victoria
Morricone: The Good the Bad and the Ugly, Once upon a Time in the West
Newman: Love is a Many-Splendored Thing, Dragonwyck
Herrmann: Psycho, Vertigo, North by Northwest

There are lots of others.

This isn't even hard for me. My favorite has got to be 'Pirates Of The Carribean; Dead Man's Chest.'

Cool, that is also one of my favourite, but I think he first movie had a better soundtrack. Do you like any other Hans Zimmer scores?

Richard Rodney Bennett did a very good score for "Only two can play" (sometimes described as "The last film in which Peter Sellers bothered to act"), but even more memorable was a TV showing of the Pabst silent, "Pandora's Box" (Louise Brook's finest film), with incidental music composed and arranged by Carl Davis. He started off in Berlin cabaret style, and may have included some actual Weill. Then for the end, where she get's murderd by Jack the Ripper, we had a large chunk of Berg's "Lulu".

Klaus Badelt: Pirates of the Caribbean, Main Theme
Alan Silvestri: Flight of the Navigator, Main Theme
Trevor Rabin: National Treasure, Chase

I think Klaus did the first one and Hans Zimmer did the second.
