Two amazing movie themes/scores

[97tbird]

was just listening to this:
(amazingly haunting, sad melody, just like the one I like from Syriana)
Kothbiro - Ayub Ogada - from the movie "The Constant Gardener"

(kothbiro="the rain is coming")

and here;s the Syriana theme...Just brilliant.
together, these 2 melodies can make me almost cry. (yeah, I know, I lost manpoints there )

One of my favorites is the soundtrack from Rabbit Proof Fence by Peter Gabriel. I have that soundtrack in DTS as well.

Here's a sample:

(fast forward to about 2-minute mark)

Good movie, too.

Oh yeah, and Hans Zimmer's soundtrack for K2. It never actually made it into the film - they decided to use a different, more upbeat soundtrack. Too bad, as I thought Zimmer's stuff was better suited for the monumental beauty of those mountains.

I always thought the song from the opening scene of The English Paitent was surreal.

Will listen to those posted when I have time.

 

[Aldaris]

I loved the scores for Heat, Das Boot (Klaus Doldinger), The Terminator (Brad Fiedel), Robocop (Basil Poledouris), Gladiator (Hans Zimmer), and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I really love the soundtrack to "the assisination of jesse james by the coward robert ford" by nick cave. just a pity the song he does near the end ion themovie isn't on the soundtrack. brilliantly made movie and music.

Mark K's soundtrack for "Local Hero" is one of my all time faves (the movie is kind of cool as well)!!

 

[GeaugaFletcher]

The soundtrack for 13th Floor was very good indeed. Ligeti.

Excellent stuff, indeed.

 

[97tbird]

oh yeah; I think it's called "going home"
despite stealing riffs and style from JJ Cale to make a career, I liked that soundtrack from MK.

 

[glennc]

I'm a fan of both Mark Knopfler and Nick Cave.

However my all time favorite opening scene and music is the beautiful and evocative first few minutes of "The Italian Job" as a Lamborghini Miura is driven over Stelvio Pass in Italy:

What else could compare?

 

[Benzadmiral]

The only soundtrack I actually noticed during the movie, and then bought the CD, was the Peter Gunn-like Sixties-inspired music to Pixar's "The Incredibles." Dynamite stuff, like an early James Bond film brought up to 2004.

 

[mechtech2]

Titanic's theme music wasn't bad.

Eh, maybe a little.
I can see JJ being an 'influence', but an outright "steal", no.
Did Mark ever admit to JJ being an influence or mentor in any interviews (I have not seen/read too many with him as the subject)??
Anyway, I had always thought of him/D.S. as one of the MOST unique and original acts in all of rockdom (along with REM).

Been listening to the City of Angels soundtrack. Never paid much attention to this one before:

Very powerful.
