Since we're all just killing time until the BDM, maybe a new poll is just what we need.

What is your favorite soundtrack (movie or series)? Who composed it: John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, Michael Kamen, Tangerine Dream? Why do you like it?

I'll start with the soundtrack to Edge of Darkness by Michael Kamen and Eric Clapton. The best of their collaborative works (Rush, Lethal Weapon, etc.).

No contest....

Seeing as Lucas believe Star Wars is one long movie I am treating it as such but the breakdown for your knowledge is as follows....

Star Wars: A New Hope (Ep IV)
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
John Williams

two songs make these the KING OF THE HILL

20th Centery Fox Fanfare
Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)

I have to agree with Placidity. The 20th Century Fox Fanfare is the best out there, and the Imperial March is incredible.

Also, I must add Lord of the Rings, Howard Shore. Phenomenal.
Last of the Mohicans (who did it? Can't remember off the top of my head.)

Braveheart, Mission Impossible (I enjoyed the soundtrack so much more than the movie)

Pretty much everything by Danny Elfman (I am a huge fan.)
I could go on and on. I love movie soundtracks.

My favourites are vidoegame soundtracks actually.

Metal Gear Soldi 3, actually composed by Harry Gregson Williams (hollywood composer of Enemy of the State).

It has some techno beats in it, while it doesnt feel techno, all while remaining cinematic and getting some pretty epic themes..

Nobuo Uematsu, main composer of the Final Fantasy series. He is called the John Williams of the videogame industry. If you want to know why contact me at win.schutten@hccnet.nl on MSN to hear a couple of samples.

Most definitely Gladiator by Hans Zimmer. The 'More music from Gladiator' cd is just awesome.

And considering the entire theme of Pirates of the Carribean (sp?) was borrowed from Gladiator that's pretty good too.

It turns out Hans Zimmer did the score of loads of my favourite films (including The Lion King and Muppet Treasure Island :) ).

Ooh, I forgot both Gladiator and Pirates. I put on Pirates when I'm cleaning because it's constantly in motion (rather like the movie.) It's good to clean to. That and Benny Goodman.

Zimmer's another fantastic composer.

I totally agree with Daikath. Nobuo Uemetsu is a genius. My favorite of his is FF6, although the Red Wings theme from FF4 deserves an honorable mention.

As for movies, my tastes are the same as Serenity's. John Williams, Howard Shore and Danny Elfman reign supreme.

P-

I had Last of the Mohicans on tape (this was back before I owned a CD player.) I wore that sucker out. Had to buy the CD to replace it.

Also, the first Jurassic Park movie. (That was John W., right?)

Ath-that's right, I taught you well!

And on that note, I just HAD to put in my Ep. 1 soundtrack. Hearing the Star Wars theme at the beginning was the best part of Ep. 3. Gives you chills.
