Star Wars
Planet of the Apes (the original) Star Trek: the Motion Picture Psycho And...um...uh... -scratches head- Up? My criteria for best soundtrack is whether it enhances the movie and what it hopes to evoke, not detract from it. The five I picked do just that, even though Michael Giacchino's music pisses me off a fair bit. |

I always loved how Godard used music, particularly recurring classical bits etc as an element in his movies.

All five on my list are Peter Gabriel's Passion, the soundtrack for The Last Temptation of Christ.
The next five are all Koyaanisquatsi. |

I don't have five off the top of my head, but the first one that comes to mind is Victory At Sea.

Only f? Tough choice:
2001 Fantasia (despite the cuts and changes. But I love the orchestral version of Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor) The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad (I love Bernard Herman's score -- he did North by Northwest, cited above, and several other Hitchcock and Harryhausen films) The Rocketeer -- if only for the opening, although "The Airshow" is great, too. Star Wars Besides these: Thunderball -- possibly the best of Barry's Bond scores Patton -- I listened to Jerry Goldsmith's background music through many chess games with a friend) The Magnificent Seven -- even after they picked it up for a tobacco company, Elmer Bernstein's score is impressive Raiders of the Lost Ark -- John Williams deserves several nominations for his lush orchestral scores, but I'll limit it to two. Barry Lyndon -- i loved it, too, but it could've done with far fewer repetitions of that damned Sarabande. Forbidden Planet -- Louis and Bebe Barron's electronic score was the first for a mainstream motion picture, and it works so well that t's hard to imagine anything else in its place. I have a recording of it, along with one of their earlier works, which they borrowed from liberally for the score. Last edited by CalMeacham; 08-12-2011 at 03:10 PM. |

Alfred Newman's The Best of Everything (1959). It's my "life background music."

Crap, I forgot The Conversation. While the above list is in no order, this would replace Fellowship.
