A few of my favs, in no particular order:

  • The Lord of the Rings trilogy
  • Tron: Legacy
  • Oblivion
  • Gladiator
  • Star Wars (especially Episode I)
  • Interestellar
[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Haven’t seen anyone mention Cinema Paradiso or The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Both are wildly different. Ennio Morricone is a genius.

There’s also The Incredibles - Michael Giacchino The Greatest Showman - Various Artists
Saving Private Ryan - John Williams
The Prince of Egypt - Hans Zimmer
The Gospel of John - Jeff Dann (great middle eastern vibe)

[-] PoorYorick@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and Footloose are probably my favorites of all time. It's really hard to find soundtracks with a better collection of absolutely amazing songs imo.

[-] huaxie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

My favorite is the soundtrack to Princess Mononoke, composed by Joe Hisaishi.

I was a hipster in high school and I used to have Amelie on my iPod classic. Was such a tiny screen. :)

Already lots of LOTR & Tron: Legacy here. Not seeing much love for animated film scores, so on that note & in no particular order:

  • How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, 1 is personal favorite
  • Kung Fu Panda trilogy, 2 is ~~so fucking good oh my god~~ personal favorite
  • The Lion King (1994)
  • Spirited Away
  • My Neighbor Totoro
  • Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
  • The Super Mario Movie
  • Finding Nemo
  • Up

A couple of these have great soundtracks, too, but I do love a good score.

Soundtrack or score?

Soundtrack: Judgement Night. Paired hip hop artists with rock and metal bands. Biohazard and Onyx fucking tear it up. And Faith No More and Boo Yaa Tribe sounds incredible.

Score: Terminator 2. James Cameron is incredible about quality sound in his films. One of the best directors for sound in the biz.

[-] Exulion@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Last Samurai is super chill

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago
