[BPP]

Whats your all opinions?

my opinion, no specific order:
1. Braveheart
2. Gladiator
3. Glory
4. Legends of the Fall
5. Backdraft
6. Titanic
7. Rudy
8. Schindler's List
9. Titanic
10. Last of the Mohicans


edit: score meaning orchestral

[luciferchrist]

a score does not need to be orchestral.

anyways, If we are using that as the criteria...
I agree on gladiator and LOTM.

the main theme from last of the mohicans was the first track I ever sampled. I love that joint.

[Ruhanv]

Superman, Indiana Jones, Gladiator, LOTR, but my favourite would be

STAR WARS

according to me it does i know its not exact, but *I* consider orchestral = score, songs = soundtrack

if it was soundtrack Rocky, etc would be up there

i mean based on my criteria

10. Last of the Mohicans

Thats not a bad list, but I would definetly have The Last of the Mohicans higher. Rob Roy also has a great score, at least a top ten.

This is mine...
1. Braveheart
2. The Last of the Mohicans
3. Schindler's List
4. Rob Roy
5. Platoon

Gladiator, Legends of the Fall, and LOTR all get honorable mention.

[BPP]

mm..never heard Rob Roy's nor seen it
same with platoon

[vanillaicetk]

1.) Apocalypse Now
2.) Braveheart
3.) Saving Private Ryan
4.) Platoon
5.) Go (music in that fit perfectly with the film)

**edit** I didn't see the part where score was orchestral, so take off Go and add Star Wars

[Scar]

Jaws

Once Upon a Time in America

[Snafu]

Interview With The Vampire

and the greatest of all time:

Conan The Barbarian

[Its_PainFuLL]

LOTR X 10 requim for a dream x 10 its in lotr so x 20

[Diver Down]

I think Halloween had one of the most effective scores, very creepy.

[KillswitchNgage]

28 Days Later has some nice music in it. Especially since they play a track by Godspeed You Black Emperor.

For those of you who are interested, GYBE plays songs that are almost always 20 minutes or so and are all instrumental. It's not new age crap, but rather very ominous at times. Check them out if you want.

[ProBuck]

Out Of Africa
The Mission
Legend (The Tangerine Dream version)
The Age Of Innocence
The Godfather
Romeo Is Bleeding
Round Midnight
The Last Emporer
Rain Man

Those are off the top of my head in no particular order.

[Lynne]

The Mask of Zorro
Caravans

[BigKazWSM747]

some:

The Shining
2001: A Space Odyssey
LOTR (all of the triology)
Indiana Jones
Star Wars (first 3)
Rocky
Apocalypse Now
The Godfather
Se7en
Jaws
Schnidler's List
Kill Bill Vol. 1
Pulp Fiction
Reservior Dogs
Dr. Strangelove

That's my favorite too. The soundtrack was so integral to the movie.

[Ruthless4Life]

Schindler's List
Band of Brothers

[LT1]

How bout the movie score from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
I've heard that song about a million times since that movie.

[Hummer1984]

Bump on Conan the Barbarian, very musical. I also like the score from the movie Crimson tide with Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman, it gave me the chivers

[Vitamin S]

Scarface. There were no lyrics, but the songs goes like this: da na da dana da dana da dana da dana da dana da dana da dana da dana da dana da dana da dana da dana da dana da dana da dana da dana da dana da dana, aaaand so forth.

[mariners216]

If we're just talking orchestral, then

1. Gladiator
2. Braveheart
3. LOTR
4. Gangs of New York

If we're talking soundtracks too..

1. Gladiator
2. Ocean's Eleven
3. American Pie Movies (not that the music was amazing or anything, I just think it fit the movies perfectly
4. Braveheart
5. LOTR
6. Gangs

[kingdd]

Yes, Gangs of New York is good also. I forgot about that one.

[Sinister1]

A couple I really like are:
1)The Edge (movie with Hopkins and Baldwin)
2)Meet Joe Black

[thor93]

everyone must eventually contain they're sheer and utter rage and anger to utmostly painfull proportions.



according to the law/human mind aspect of things in general.
in basic terms of anylysis,one will conclude this statement as utterly,evidentely and totally freakin undoubtably true.



-by george i think he's got it!!!!

[blaker00]

I think the best scores go as

1) Godfather
2) beverly hills cop
3) I know this sounds retarded but Ferris bullers day off... the near ohh ohh chic chica chicka song.
