Hello everybody...

Who here loves movie music? I was wondering this becuase I have noticed that the people here barely talk about movie music and the movie industry and I am interested to see who loves movie music.

I LOVE movie music and, as many of you know, my dream is to composer a film score for a movie! Here is a list of the movie music that I love:

-The Last of the Mohicans: This movie had the most brilliant movie music. With full ochestra, the music in this movie is so inspirational. Even though I do not own the soundtrack, I LOVE the music in this movie - it is absolutely outstanding! Anyone familiary with Last of the Mohicans? If not, you should hear this movie music - it's awesome! Go to http://www.filmtracks.com and listen to some audio demos from this movie!

Here are some other soundtracks that are simply incredible:
-The Mummy Returns
-Crimson Tide
-Lord of the Rings
-Jurrasic Park
-The Truman Show
-Twister
-Dances with Wolves
-Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
-Apollo 13
-The Rock
-Speed
-Conspiracy Theory
-Star Wars: Episode 1
-The Saint

By the way, you can go to the WebQuad Network Forums at: http://www.webquad.com/forum There, you can talk about anything related to music, specifically movie music and soundtracks!

Looking forward to hearing your comments!

I like the jurrasic park one too. Batman is nice one too.I lean towrds the Japnese animation movies or a series. an Example if any one knows it is the "NEO GENSIS Evangalion" I thought that was a very PRO. awesome work! There is some other ones too but I don't think every body likes what I like .

I love the theme from

Ryan,
"On Golden Pond"
"Gettysburg"

I highly recommend an album released by Michael W Smith. He's a Christian artist who released an instrumental album called "Freedom". This album was his own movie score version of music he wanted to record. All songs are original. Written recorded mixed and mastered as such. It's great stuff. Brian

Some great ones mentioned but there are three classics left out.

The Red Pony
The Mission
Psycho
SuperFly

Ryan:
How can we forget:

"The sound of Music"
"Casablanca"
"Oklahoma"
"Sunflower"
"Any" score by Heny Mancini and John Williams.

These are all contemporary "Classics"
