bruuen 0 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 hi guys, i'm new here, and i love how there is a board dedicated the the master of film scoring. I'm planning a trip to boston in may to get the 'once in a life-time' chance to see him conduct his own music, so i'm really excited some of my favorite scores of all time are:Braveheart - James HornerThe Patriot - John WilliamsPearl Harbour - Hans ZimmerLast Samurai - Hans ZimmerMunich/Memoirs of a Geisha - John Williamsjust to name a few...i don't watch as many movies as i hope, so i probably miss a lot of good scores that accompany them. as you can see from my tastes above, please suggest the best scores you can think of that fit this criteria, thanks tons!

It's a more serious score, and has some really moving parts, not to mention some beautiful themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandor 797 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 bruuen,I noticed you like Peal Harbor and The Last Samurai. Something tells me you won't really enjoy some of the scores mentioned by these folks in this thread. Some scores that I think you will enjoy:John Williams:- Schindler's List- E.T.- Raiders Of The Lost ArkHans Zimmer:- Backdraft- The Lion King- The RockJames Horner:- Glory- Legends Of The Fall- The Land Before TimeEnnio Morricone:- The Mission- Once Upon A Time In The West- Padre PioJerry Goldsmith:- Under Fire- Star Trek First Contact- RudyOther composers:- Conan The Barbarian (Basil Poledouris)- Edward Scissorhands (Danny Elfman)- Watership Down (Mike Batt)Just from the top of my head.
