I enjoy listening to the movie scores, even if I am not actually paying attention to the movies themselves. Sometimes I just put on a movie and start sewing or whatever.The following scores make me feel very creative:
1. Just about anything from Bernard Herrmann, esp. Vertigo, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Psycho, Jason and the Argonauts, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.
2. John Williams composed many favorites, but my top two are The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
3. Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings scores. Wow, just wow! The Fellowship of the Ring is my favorite of the three.
4. Conan the Barbarian (1982) by Basil Polodouris is one of the best scores just to listen to when you are creating something. I would love to have a good recording of the complete score.
5. Ben-Hur by Miklos Rozsa-just epic.
6. The Fountain by Clint Mansell-very moving

A highly underrated movie score is the soundtrack to "Return to Oz" (1985). It's also an underrated movie. I actually like it better than the classic "Wizard of Oz" movie.

I'll need to check out "Return to Oz". Just remember to forget everything you know about the classic Wizard of Oz movie. Return to Oz was intended to follow the spirit of the original books more closely (it's a combination of the second and third books), so it's darker and edgier. If you haven't read the books, this movie might be a bit over-the-top for you. But if you have read them, it's pretty good. |

Peter Gabriel made the score for "The Last Temptation of Christ." While a horrible movie, the music was great & was used again in Natural Born Killers during the prison interview.

Cannot name just one or two scores from Ennio Morricone, John Williams or Joe Hisaishi.
A mention would be Clint Mansell' s score for The Fountain, wich I find to be even better than Requiem for a Dream

Randy Edelman - Anaconda (1997)
The opening track is one of the greatest pieces of music ever made for film.

I like Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard's score for Gladiator, Elmer Bernstein's for the original Magnificent Seven, my top three by John Williams are Jaws, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones. I also like Ennio Morricone's scores for In the Line of Fire, The Untouchables, and Mission to Mars. Jerry Goldsmith's score for The Omen does an excellent job of creating that film's ominous atmosphere.

Ennio Morricone- "U-Turn". So haunting and atmospheric.
John Williams- "Rosewood" So quirky and tragic at times
John Frizzel- "Ghost Ship" and "The Reaping". Equally eerie and touching.
Roque Banos-"In the Heart of the Sea" soo epic and beautiful.
Michael Wadmacher- "Piranha". Just cool.
I'm probably forgetting alot...

Elmer Bernstein - The Ten Commandments
Nina Rota - Romeo and Juliet
Fumio Hayasaka - Seven Samurai
Angelo Francesco Lavagnino - Chimes at Midnight
These are a few of my favorites. It would be hard to narrow down my other favorites.

I have many, but for now, I'll just list the first few which pop into my mind.
"The Bride Of Frankenstein", 1935, Franz Waxman, maybe? Cutting edge for it's time in it's use of themes for characters. Quite beautiful as well.
"Psycho", 1960. Hermann. As if the shower scene weren't 'striking' enough, how about the pseudo erotic 'mood piece' when Marion is driving away with the money?
"Days Of Heaven", 1978 Ennio Morricone. This film marries the beauty of cinematography and music so well, dialog almost seems secondary in spots. Malicks style of film making might not be for everyone, but there's no denying the beauty of various scenes in this film.
More recently, I was impressed with "The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford". Music by Nick Cave.
