What's the best movie music of all time? John Williams and Star Warsor all the hits from Chicagohow about Joplin's rags from The Sting or the opening scene from 2001? I know I like the renditions of the Navy Hymn from The Perfect Storm you have to be hard hearted not to get a lump in your throat during that scene, and the rendition in The Crimson Tide. So Drama, musicals, Comedies, chick flicks, westerns, SciFi, etc. which movie has the best music? What's your vote?

[StACase]

I'm going to vote later.

[MikefromOhio]

I like 2 sound tracks....

Patton and the music from the Boondock Saints

[Thane_Banquo]

The music from Braveheart.

[Founding Father]

I'll vote for that song in Chariots of Fire that was played at the funeral in the film and at President Ronald Reagan's funeral.

[Uncle George]

All of Henry Mancenni's music: Love story etc.

[Darkwolf377]

I'll vote for that song in Chariots of Fire that was played at the funeral in the film and at President Ronald Reagan's funeral.




That's not a song from a movie, though, it's a well-known British hymn--Jerusalem--USED in a movie.

[seenenuf]

Any flick that features Frank.

[cyclotic]

The Blues Brothers

[abb]

The Magnificent Seven

[sonofatpatcher2]

Mel Brook's The Producers hands down!

"Springtime for Hitler... and Germany. Winter for Poland and France!"

Well, you have to have a sense of humor...

Oh, you do?

Second place Mel Brook's To Be or Not to Be...

Okay, I'll leave quietly.

The soundtrack from "The Untouchables" is pretty good.

[12 Gauge Mossberg]

"Breakin': Electric Bugaloo" is one of my favorites (LOLOL)

[Hugin]

Three that come to mind are Last of the Mohicans, Henry V (Brannah version), and Gladiator.

[Hazzardgate]

[Hank Rearden]

Blues Brothers

The Sherman Tank of musicals.

[MagnumRancid]

Last of the Mohican's is nice. The score complements the scenery very well. It's not exactly a movie but the Victory at Sea score is great.

[Dan from Michigan]

Rocky IV!

[blue-duncan]

The sound track from "A Man and a Women".

[harpo11]

Goldfinger....James Bond 007

Gladiator

Mutiny on the Bounty

[Hank Rearden]

Oh, wait - Standing in the Shadows of Motown kicks butt, too!

[Shellback Chuck]

Easy Rider.

[Rodney King]

Exaclibur, without question.

[Founding Father]

OK, but I still like it---maybe someone can post a link to it.

[Mr. Jazzy]

The music from "Manos - The Hands Of Fate".

Especially the hauntingly beautiful "love theme".




Hehehe

[yarddog]

I think that song in "Chariots of Fire" was Jerusalem. I didn't know it was also played at Reagan's funeral.

Not certain but I think the words are from Blake's poem of the same name. BTW the theme of Chariots was also pretty good.

I think my favorite was Laura's theme from Dr. Zhivago. Star Wars as others have said was also great.

[Bombardier]

Gettysburg and Memphis Belle.

[harpo11]

Oops, can't forget....The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, actually that should be the theme song for the 2004 Presidential Race.

[wolf24]

The Imperial March (Star Wars)

[Calpernia]

The best all time music that was used in movies, tv, everything is right HERE!

Enjoy!

[ArmyBratCutie]

The Big Chill
Dirty Dancing
Grease
The Big Country
The Sound of Music
FootLoose

[Fiddlstix]

Too many good ones. Too hard to pick one.

[nonliberal]

Glory.

[vikingchick]

I like the theme for the Austin Powers movies: they use it in every sequel too, so they don't have to write a new one. -- saving money. (At I think they used it in last one...must confirm.)

>>When men could still dance around in tights in very queer ways and still get all the broads they wanted!<<

When men in tights actually wanted women and not boys. Or if they wanted boys they kept it quiet!

[lawgirl]

Anything by Franz Waxman, John Williams or Henry Mancini.

[July 4th]

Patton
Star Wars
The Hunt For Red October
The Blues Brothers
The Natural
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

And the best foreign film soundtracks:

Cinema Paradiso
Amelie
Run Lola Run

Ennio Morricone is a good bet any day.

[Lockbar]

I'm going:
(a) Victory at Sea
(b) Lawrence of Arabia
(c) Car Wash

[HitmanLV]

I don't care for any of the soundtracks you mentioned, except 2001, but the theme wasn't written for the film, so I can't count it.

Ennio Morricone is the best film composer of the 20th century, especially his music for Once Upon A Time in the West, Once Upon a Time in America, and my fave - The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly.

Jerry Goldsmith is also an enourmous standout.

Most overrated have to include John 'hack-man' Williams, and Danny 'I hope nobody figures out most of my scores sound the same' Elfman.

[Freemyland]

I'm a Godfather man, myself.

[ArmyBratCutie]

AHAHAHAHHAHAAHA
my husband TORTURES me with Lee Marvins song when
Im bad HAHAHHAHAHHHA

[js1138]

Chariots of Fire

It was a hymn from We we Soldiers that played at the Reagan funeral.
