Klaus Badelt is really good, as are Hans Zimmer and Alan Menkin.

yep. that's the best non-lyrical score from the movie. the best lyrical one is "eloi". It conveys huge emotion without even having to understand the eloi language.

The Last of the Mohecans and Braveheart were both pretty good.
If there was one thing all people took for granted, was conviction that if you feed honest figures into a computer, honest figures come out. Never doubted it myself until I met a computer with sense of humor.

Star Wars (especially The Empire Strikes Back)

Armageddon (Complete score includes great cues)
Danny Elfman scores
The Matrix, all of them. If you have heard the Reloaded and Revolutions expanded promo scores, which includes only Don Davis' music then you know what I mean.

You are thinking of the classical score and not the 'soundtrack' which is made up of things like Leaving on a Jet Plane and Don't Wanna Miss a Thing aren't you?

I spent two years trying to find the actual score and when I did I wasn't disappointed. The Launch is the best piece on there!

I'm not a huge fan of Aerosmith. As for Leaving on a Jet Plane, it is one of my favorites and was by far the best song on there.

The original score though... meh.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

So you were thinking of the 'soundtrack' rather than the score then. :) I got the clue when you referred to 'songs.'

I did mean the score. Like I said, the songs on the soundtrack are okay... but I don't like the classical score.

The LOTR soundtrack has been mentioned too few times.

Also, most of Hans Zimmer's creation, and everything compiled by Quentin Tarantino.

The funny thing about the Media Ventures scores...(the scores where Hans Zimmer appears as composer or producer)...they are never by one composer alone.

Armageddon was done by Travin and Gregson-Williams...Gladiator by Zimmer, Badelt and Shirley Walker...and POTC had around 7 composers, supervised by Badelt...

...I really think, the MV scores are pretty good...but infact, many kinda sound the same. Search for real differences between Gladiator and Pirates Of The Carribean.
...by the way...most of the score of The Rock was NOT composed by Hans Zimmer...he just did two themes!

Well...my favs...

Everything from Bill Brown
Finding Nemo
Shrek
Spider-Man (2) (when he swings through NY for the first time in 1st Person, it's just ....woah...and the whole train sequence in part 2...well, that's art! :D)
