The Dean Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) I'm starting to think a more interesting category may be "Best original score" for a movie. Most of what has been mentioned (by me as well) are movies that have a bunch of music we know and like. Composing movie specifically for a particular movie is a real art form in itself. Good Bad and Ugly is a great choice. How about The Last Tango in Paris soundtrack? Here's a piece: Edited July 9, 2020 by The Dean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Bad and Ugly is a great choice. That is a great choice, which reminded me that I forgot to add: Once Upon A Time in the West. I also agree that writing music for a movie is a great art form. Far more challenging than songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, thanks for that. As an aside, Mike Nesmith (The Monkeys) was executive producer of Repo Man and I always assumed a big influence on the soundtrack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Truly a difficult question. How does one equate a full symphonic score written for a movie to a 'period piece', where the music of the era serves as the soundtrack? * That being said, 'Bullitt'. A great jazz score by Lalo Schifrin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Id say others for consideration would be The Four Seasons (pretty much all Vivaldi) and Amadeus. But that might be a Pats* like cheat, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
