I was going to post Lux Aeterna (Requiem for a Dream), but you already did that. :( The epic orchestral version is my favourite (Requiem for a Tower).

Clint Mansell's (of Requiem fame) score for The Fountain is a favourite of mine:

The Terminator - Brad Fiedel

QKF-tOtK6nw

Predator - Alan Silvestri

[alfy!]

Most Pixar movies.

While the whole film was cool, i particularly liked this guitar part from The Crow (mainly referencing the section that takes place between the 50 second through to 1 minute mark). I got a little excited a few years ago when channel 9 used an extended version while playing a hyper video prior to a match starting :thumbsu:.

I consider the music OST soundtrack to be the BEST movie soundtrack of all time. I also own the score soundtrack and that goes down an absolute treat aswell.


My ultimate score theme is the Superman march, i think that it is fantastic.

[neddy36]

Forgot about The Crow. Brilliant soundtrack. :thumbsu:

[bradrowe#32]

The "Little Miss Sunshine" one is brilliant.

Two more;

Metamorphosis 2 by Philip Glass for the "The Hours"

KwwKFBeZr5Q

For the Love of a Princess by James Horner for "Braveheart"

Pretty much any score Clint Mansell does is awesome though.

[BarcaRulz]

Warlord from Lord of War:
v/9BJXc20H5AE

Dead Reckoning (also Clint Mansell) from Smokin' Aces:
v/Pa33P9A5iHs

Mortal Kombat Theme (rock version):

Damnit i had that one in mind as soon as i saw the thread title. Just builds suspense and atmosphere beautifully.

[The Great Barry Besanko]

Dead Man - Neil Young - one of the greatest scores ever.
The Mission
Good Bad & Ugly

Have to agree with Dead Man (pretty much any part), Requiem for a Dream (Lux Aeterna) and The Fountain (Death is the Road to Awe, and Together We Will Live Forever).

Also this part from Last of the Mohicans...

--Z45aw8b7c

In The House In A Heartbeat from 28 Days Later (and used again in 28 Weeks Later)

KSYYEDXaGo0

The intro to Koyaanisqatsi (first 3-4mins)

XrQMB_xcDSE

and although technically not a score, but I really like the use of Brian Eno's instrumental The Big Ship in the intro of The Power of Nightmares (starting about 45secs in). It was also well used in The Lovely Bones more recently.

Qk1WkmioQvA

[Warsaw]

Both of these from This Is England. Used in powerful scenes. Immediately had me getting the sheet music and playing the piano again.

[Krakeour Magic]

Also Sprach Zarathustra by Eumer Deodata from the classic movie "Being There".

3BsiHydrT6U

Saturn Rising by John Charles and performed by the NZ Symphony Orchestra in the final scene of another underrated classic movie, "The Quiet Earth".

Superb.

[Krakeour Magic]

The opening scene from Blade is also very cool.

Yeah, he also did the soundtrack to the Mission, which is great, bought the CD, not my usual kind of music.

Also like this NkWjsT_SJNI&feature=related

But I also agree the soundtrack to the Crow was one of my all time faves as a kid.

[Plugger35]

I can't go past this.

Futuristic French electronica and Australian WW1 movies are unlikely bedfellows but they combined to make an all time classic in this case.
