Best movie scores?

[HyeJinx1984]

Since we were doing the T.V. ones, might as well do the (generally speaking) cooler movie ones as well.

Two best movie scores have to be Godfather I & II by Carmine Coppola and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy by Howard Shore.

Two of my favorites have always been the score for Jurassic Park, by John Williams and The Lion King, by Hans Zimmer. The first especially is very complete, in the sense that it isn't just variations on a theme, as most scores are, and really could stand by itself.

Thomas Newman-Whisper of a Thrill from Meet Joe Black.

Ah, speaking of Hanz Zimmer, who could forget the beautiful score for Gladiator? I gotta admit, I'm biased since Jivan Gasperyan did the score with Hanz I love Jivan Gasperyan (I call him J. Gassy for short )

Meet Joe black yes for sure, and Oh! The Green Mile. I bawled like a newborn infant.

Yes Hanz has it going on. I think The Rock also has a great score.

Althogh the movie was a flop (and mostly sleep-inducing), Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was one of Elliot Goldenthal's best scores ever, and this is a guy with some great ones under his belt... such as Interview with the Vampire! Incidentally one of my favorite films...

Star Wars, Godfather, Lord of the Rings, Desperado, Pulp Fiction, Gladiator, Braveheart.

Oddly enough I don't remember the score for Desperado and I've seen that movie at least 10 times... what was it... *jogs memory*

In anycase, speaking of Robert Rodrigez, from Dusk Til Dawn had a good sound track.

Talking about him furthermore... I CAN'T WAIT FOR SIN CITY!!!!!! Ahem, back to music scores now...

Although this may sound silly, the score for Shakespeare in Love was great. Really fit the feel of the film.

What you mean by "score"?
