What are your favorite music scores from non musical films?

[Cyrano]

I've got a lot of them, but for me, nothing matches the score from "Lawrence of Arabia."

My second choice is harder, but I guess I'll go with "The Sting."

[ceile]

1. Cinema Paradisio

Saw it again the other night. The music makes me cry.

[grace0418]

4. I was just going to say that one! Wow, I didn't think anyone would list

that one. But yes, anyway, that soundtrack breaks my heart. As does the movie.

[Radical Activist]

2. Hey you stole mine

As soon as I read the subject line I thought, Lawrence of Arabia.

[azmouse]

3. Sleepless in Seattle has some wonderful music.

[RedSpartan]

5. Glory.

[displacedtexan]

6. The Pink Panther

When I was a child, I thought adult life would be like Rob & Laura
Petrie, where no one is tired after work, and everyone comes over
to sing show tunes... the women wearing Capri pants and the men
sipping martinis.

The Pink Panther music was sooo sophisticated back then (to me).

Of course, there's Dr. Zhivago, A Man and A Woman, Far From
The Madding Crowd, and tons of others.

7. I watched The Mission the other day.

Good stuff.

In fact, I like pretty much any Ennio Morricone score.

I especially liked the Kill Bill score- Morricone, Zamfir, and the RZA. What a combination!

[Xipe Totec]

22. Excellent choice

I love this score.

[donco6]

34. Yes. Have the CD. eom

[tigereye]

8. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

and Hero have great scores.

Also the LOTR movies.

[TimeChaser]

9. Lord of the Rings

[arwalden]

10. Prince Of Tides

[sarge43]

11. Conan the Barbarian n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

29. That's always my first choice of best musical score ever.

Very few movies have music that works so perfectly without the movie; but in which the music and the image on the film are so beautifully and tightly bound together. AND the music is totally appropriate for the theme of the movie, and every scene is scored fucking perfectly.

Best film score ever!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

12. Men with Guns and A Man for All Seasons

Latin-inspired music in the first instance, medieval-Renaissance music in the second.

The Mission ain't bad, either.

[deadparrot]

13. "The American President." nt

[skygazer]

14. Master and Commander

Some of the music in that film makes me cry, it's so beautiful.

[terrya]

15. "The Lion in Winter"

John Barry, as usual, did a masterful job composing. Brilliant score.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. Alexander Nevsky

I love Prokofiev...

[Xipe Totec]

23. I would be disappointed if you didn't like Prokofiev

:hi:

[Catchawave]

17. On Golden Pond

one of my favorites by a loon :D

[mitchum]

18. Popol Vuh's score for "Aguirre, the Wrath of God"

[fudge stripe cookays]

19. A Bridge Too Far

I actually walk around humming the march-type theme sometimes.

[Ivan Sputnik]

20. Spartacus

Cleopatra
Streetcar Named Desire
The Agony and the Ecstasy

Anything by Alex North.

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. Gladiator, and Lord of the Rings off the top of my head.

But it's been a long day so I really think of anything else, even though I know there is. D'oh.

[stanwyck]

24. Any Woody Allen or Quentin Tarrantino movie

also, Pleasantville and Bridget Jones Diary.

[peekaloo]

25. Fargo.

Carter Burwell does nice work.

[Xipe Totec]

26. Eerie and Haunting

good choice.

[Jade Fox]

27. Bridges of Madison County....

Little Women

[NNadir]

28. The score from "American Beauty"

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

30. the third man, amelie

[theophilus]

31. Dances With Wolves, Lord of the Rings,

The Big Country, Vertigo, Casablanca. I could go on and on....

[Arkham House]

32. Jane Eyre

The 1971 version, with George C Scott and Susannah York, with a John Williams score, and not the 1944 Orson Welles one...

[donco6]

33. Midnight Cowboy

Nilsson is one of my favs.

[ghostsofgiants]

35. The Dust Brothers did a great job on Fight Club...

Just about anything Angelo Badalamenti has done for David Lynch has been great, and Jon Brion's work, especially Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Magnolia.

[6000eliot]

36. Goodfellas

Although practically any Scorsese film would do.
