I like to give credit where it's due, and as suggested by former member Frank81, who left us too soon...
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS?
Here's one, in no order, and right outta my ass as usual:
1. BERNARD HERRMANN's score for TAXI DRIVER
(http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff259/allhallowsday/TAXIDRIVERsoundtrack.jpg)
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c9/Taxi_Driver_poster.JPG)
Who doesn't like BERNARD HERRMANN?
Ironically, I'm watching Taxi Driver right now, first time I'm seeing it. :buggedout:
2.) Pulp Fiction has a great soundtrack. I'd say most Tarantino films do, though.
3. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
I love it. It makes it much more disturbing, as it should be.
If AHD agrees, I propose we stay away from musicals, at least for the most part. I think it'd be more interesting to focus on music composed as part of the film, not as the main focus. Maybe somebody could make a separate musicals thread? I'm sure one already exists.
4. Not original stuff, of course, but great nonetheless...

Whatever you guys say. I'm not a big fan of "musicals" anyway. :smile: However, if this thread lasts very long, we may need to resort to such. :teddyr:

12. Thanks for numbering and naming your selection, though, that makes these lists a bit easier! :smile:
Sleepyskull, keeping in mind your thought, this might be called a musical, but it's a unique film, not a stage adaptation, and I love it and listen to this often:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Toey2x2juK8&feature=related
This is the music as it appeared rearranged and conducted by Williams for the original album release and NOT the music as it appears in the film. But this is the version I grew up with and in ways still prefer it to the 'real' score. Note in particular the opening title music is greatly enhanced and expanded here, and includes hints of the sea chanties Williams wrote for the film. In the film it's literally just a couple of measures of the 'Dah Dum' motif.

The Rev and Allhallows have been posting lots of great Herrmann scores but I'll add his very first film score. Herrmann would mock surprise when anyone ever remarked the identity of 'Rosebud' was a great mystery. "It's right there in the score. I gave it away in the first few minutes." he'd say.
