robthehand 3 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I hope the question isn't as obscure as it sounds... What (in your opinion) is the best use of non-original music (not necessarily songs) in a film. I actually really enjoyed the Ennio Morricone music in Kill Bill 2 - "Navajo Joe" as Bill dies.What's your favourite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,519 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Just about all the pieces used in Amadeus. They deftly illustrated the musical gifts of Mozart and punctuated the story dramatically. BTW F. Murray Abraham was brilliant as Salieri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 5,520 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 "Symphony No. Something" by Some Dead Guy, Who Likely Happened To Be Russian, in Minority Report.I assume you are referring to Schubert's "Unfinished" symphony #8 (or now #7).

Dean1700 4 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I actually really enjoyed the Ennio Morricone music in Kill Bill 2 - "Navajo Joe" and L'Arena as the Bride.....L'Arena. So that's what that fantastic musical piece is called. I loved that when I first heard it. Now, I have to get that music. Does anyone have an MP3 of this?

Greg1138 2 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I loved the use of Bach's Goldberg Variations in Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal.....simple, but effective in portraying that side of Lecter's psyche.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Maybe not the best of all time, but I do dig the use of Ode to Joy in Die Hard (also, Singing in the Rain). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
