Which film has your favourite music/score. There are so many! The Goonies is probably my favourite! Another question, has any film music ever been so powerful that it's made you cry? I can think of a few that have made me well up!

I like Howard Shore's score for Lord Of The Rings, John Williams' score for Star Wars. Riz Ortolani's for Cannibal Holocaust is my favorite horror film score. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf1Vt6r-sj8

Two excellent and very underrated film scores are for Hitchcock's The Birds, and the original I Spit On Your Grave.

Very effective use of sparseness. The last note was inaudibly sweet!

I own the soundtracks to both. I have one of them as a ring tone.

And Chris Young is very underrated. I thought it was a pretty good musical score for a horror film. The Omen by Jerry Goldsmith was notable too.

It was like listening to a romance movie soundtrack. It was good though, as you've said. Forgot Psycho! Yeah, that's a nice one too.

That's whats so great about it, it puts you in a different mood than what normal horror films go for, than when you do get to the horror it hits you even more.

I tend to like the overture's at the beginning. I just love that big orchestra sound I guess. I love many of the songs on 'Back To The Future'. They have a catchy Van Halen sound to them :)
