Theme music, musical scores and all that

[Nebbiolo]

Probably had this before, but we're having it again. Which theme tunes or film scores (think that's the expression) are cool?

1. Trainspotting and Iggy Pop's Lust for Life (Goat will appreciate that)
2. Cannibal Holocaust - don't know what it's called but an amazing tune, amazing movie
3. Taggart theme - not great, just distinct and easy on the ears

Once upon a time in the west - Ennio Morricone
Bladerunner - Vangelis
Donnie darko - Michael Andrews

All of the above wouldn't be half as good without their soundtracks

Assault on Precinct 13 - Genuinely influential and genuinely brilliant. Blatantly ripped by Bomb the Bass too. And so very cool.

Psycho - Probably my favourite of Bernard Herrmann's magical scores.

Pulp Fiction - Does it get any cooler?

1- The theme tune to Greatest American hero - Believe it or not (i think its called)
2- The theme tune to The Fall Guy

No. Quite simply.

If you liked the brass band version - you should listen to the original classical guitar version or even Tomita's electronic version on his Kosmos album both fantastic

Kill bill has a pretty cool soundtrack as well
Gheorghe Zamfir's– The Lonely Shepherd - is the best martial arts music since enter the dragon

A Clockwork Orange - Beethoven's ninth symphony. Absolutely stunning contrast to the movie.

Good one, Nick. CH was a special movie, with a great soundtrack. Shame that there were just three of 4 scenes which ruined what would otherwise have made the film the King of video nasties.

Walter/wendy carlos - always class soundtracks - The shining (mega-creepy) and remember Tron (pretty ground-breaking stuff to be honest)

Good choices. Assault on Precinct 13!! Wow. An amazing bit of music, and a great film.

They did a good job mate, since the film actually tuned me into Beethoven. And I did buy the CD (Beethoven)

Love Ode to Joy, especially when driving

Posted via Mobile Device Agreed mate, i've got the original classical guitar version. I actually went out and bought myself a classical cd just because that was on it!
