gotta say john williams' indiana jones scores, especially the last crusade. the theme that plays (for example) when indy asks marcus if he believes in the holy grail, its just beautiful. also 2001: a space odyssey. the "music" that sounds like people screaming slowed-down in the part where they jump around in the moon is, in lack of better words, nerve racking. almost famous also comes to mind, probably because i love 70's rock probably tons of more but can't be arsed to think.

A thread inspired by ludicrousNATION's thread about active/passive listening.

Whats your favourite film score ever and why? There seems to be sooo much talent and cash spent on quality film scores, I reckon they have to be a great learning point.

My favorite has to be the 'Book of Eli' score by Atticus Ross - farkin dark man. Really deep layers, useful pallette of instruments and to me it makes the whole post apocalyptic theme of the film. The film is fairly minimal so the sound design gets heaps of attention.

Yours?

Book of Eli has a great ambient score and is a cool (but flawed) film in its own right. If you liked that style, check out the game music for Fallout 1 and Fallout 2.

Also, the song that the bald bad guy keeps whistling is Cockeye's Theme from Once Upon a Time in America, which is one of my favourite pieces of music ever!
