Hello, and welcome to MIMF

Since the movie was released just a few years ago (2003), any legal reproductions being readily available, gratis, is rather doubtful. Same would be true with legal sheet music.

The original music was written by Craig Armstrong - you might google that and ask the composer directly. Sometimes, they are ameable to earnest requests.

Kill Bill
Phantom of the Opera
Wizard Of Oz
Walk the Line

I liked the music in O Brother Where Art Thou myself. The music in the
soundtrack was music like I grew up with. There were many old gospel
songs and hymns along with plenty of blue grass music that I just love.
The old songs brought me back to my childhood. Thanks for bring that
up.

My fav scores? Mh, this is gonna be pretty hard, because I've always been a huge fan of film music and having to choose isn't exactly the easiest thing to do!
Okay, then, this is my list (it may change, from time to time... you know!):
Undoubtedly, THE VILLAGE by James Newton Howard; man, this is the score; I cannot imagine a better use of a violin; every cue, every note is so perfect that, anytime I'm given the chance to listen to it, shivers run down my spine;
then, I'd say MULHOLLAND DRIVE by Angelo Badalamenti (especially his "Mulholland Drive", "Mr. Roque/Betty's Theme", "Diane and Camilla" (this latter literally melts my heart) and "Mulholland Drive/Love Theme");
surely BODY DOUBLE by my countryfellow Pino Donaggio (especially his "Main Title" cue);
then EYES WIDE SHUT (the cues composed by Jocelyn Pook are real masterpieces; her "Masked Ball", sung in Romanian spoken backwards, is a blast!);
last but not least ANTARCTICA by Vangelis, which is an electronic score, very apt to the images it had to comment.

I like O brother where art thou. Bluegrass music and gospel like that is
a part of Kentucky's history and people keep on playing Bluegrass. That
is our folk music. Especially the song Man of Constant Sorrow was recorded
back in just that era. Tennessee Valley Authority built dams in the most
western part of Kentucky just east of Paducah about 20 miles or less thanks
to president Roosevelt who got us out of the depression. Times were really
hard back then. Kentucky and Tennessee was just like that movie back
then. I guess the three escapies in the movies were supposed to have
been from the Eddyville Penatintury. Sorry I can't spell too good. So that
is a little history from kentucky.

i am surprised there has been no mention of Bernard Herrman, one of the greatest film music creators, if you have not heard it please try his music to Hitchcocks masterpiece 'Vertigo' in fact its hard to imagine those Hitchcock films without his music (Psycho the prime example)

Hello, just joined this forum and would like to add that since i started collecting film soundtracks back in the early 1980's, i find that i still listen mostly to the "golden oldies" such as:

Jerry Goldsmith's "Alien", possibly the scariest film music i've ever heard!!!

James Horner's "Aliens", excellent action cues.

Alan Silvestri's "Back to the Future", where can i get the complete score?????

John Williams' "Born on the Fourth of July", "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "Dracula", "E.T. the Extra Terrestrial", "Jaws", "JFK", "Jurassic Park", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Star Wars (Empire)", "Superman: the Movie".

Jerry Goldsmith's "First Blood", "Gremlins", "Poltergeist", "Star Trek: the Motion Picture".

and John Barry's "Dances with Wolves".

Every time i drive my car, i listen to film scores!

Does anyone know if a book about the career of Jerry Goldsmith is available?

Thanks.

i'm sure this has been asked many a time but as i can't be bothered to look through the endless threads here i thought i'd make a new one.

PLEASE ONLY PICK YOUR TOP 3, i would like to have time to listen to them. just put what they are called and what films they are from. it would be good if you could also explain a little why you like it... thanks
