    Ok another vote for "ten hausur gate"....attack ships on fire.....

    It says "Tann Hausur gate" on my star map :wink:

    Wonder when it will be back on the box? I have the film on video and the soundtrack on cassette. Unfortunately we no longer have a video player and the cassette player on my hi fi system recently broke :(

    All this old technology will be lost in time, time to...

    Requiem for a Dream by Clint Mansell (so brilliant it's been used in trailers for other films)
    :

    Even better, it's worth paying for the download is "Aux Lantana" the full 6 mins plus version of Requiem for a dream by Clint Mansell.

    Turn the volume to 11

    So good we used the soundtrack for our slide show of the ascent of Mont Blanc

    Not really a fan of these films but I do like (parts of) Morricone's score to The Mission and both Klaus Badelt's and Hans Zimmer's Pirates of the Carribean soundtracks.

    This has got to feature in my top 10.

    Also, in no particular order, the scores to:

    The Thin Red Line
    The Third Generation
    Edward Scissorhands
    Taxi Driver
    Stalker
    Romeo & Juliet (Zeffirelli) - or at least the theme to it, yes you know the tune I mean
    Nosferatu (Herzog)
    The Searchers - who'd've thought a Viennese composer could write something so American

    Rumblefish score is surprisingly good too!

  • To add to the likes of Southern Comfort, Paris Texas, Bladerunner and Star Wars.

    Bugsy Malone - Paul Williams
    Ghostbusters - Ray Parker Jnr.
    The Lord Of the Rings - Howard Shore
  • Bladerunner..... 'Attack ships on fire off the shores of Orion'

    Lawrence of Arabia.... Omar Sharif, emerging out of the haze

    2001: A Space Odyssey ...... The Blue Danube Suite

    Pulp Fiction..... 'And now ladies & gentleman, it's the Jack Rabbit Slims Twist
    competition'

    The Shawshank Redemption...... 'After all who looks at a mans shoes'


    Plus anything by John Williams or Ennio Morricone.... is that cheating!!

    The Exorcist (can't watch the film but love the music).


    Why? Too scary or too crap?

    I have it on DVD and so far have completely failed to make it all the way through - it usually scares the crap out of me at some point and I have to stop Smile

    Too Scary, have all the lights on in the house when my wife watches it. :oops:

    You got the original DOTD soundtrack? - difficult stuff I thought, not sure it's my fave... interesting nonetheless

    Yeah I have the original. It is indeed difficult stuff, but very atmospheric. It may not end up being my fave either tbh but I haven't had it long and the four soundtracks I put forward are the only four I own. :oops:

    Have to agree with Ennio Morricone - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is my favorite. Also John Williams scores, John Barry etc. And Apocalypse Now! one of my favorites too.

    I went to see Blade Runner - The Final Cut in my local cinema earlier this year too. It sounded fantastic, and looked great too. The opening sequence was immense on the big screen.

    Now some classics that I don't think I've seen mentioned

    American Graffiti - some classic rock'n'roll
    Platoon, Full Metal Jacket - more rock'n'roll
    Quadrophenia - The Who. 'Nuff said.
    Withnail & I - All along the watchtower as they drive out of London...
    Donnie Darko - Mad world fits perfectly!

    The one I really can't believe no one has mentioned...This is Spinal Tap!
