Burt Bacharach's occasional forays have deservedly earned three Academy Awards. But I'd also like to mention the little known Francis Monkman, whose score for The Long Good Friday is superb, and the late and slightly better known Roy Budd, who wrote the music for Get Carter.Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-43313279163540137302009-12-21T16:50:32.993-05:002009-12-21T16:50:32.993-05:00Goldfinger, I noticed.

Who could ever forget Bernard Herrmann's music for "Psycho"? Or, to take someone not generally associated with music, the director John Carpenter.

There are times, and films, were the score is better in the background for support (and continued viewings makes you appreciate its music more), and in the foreground to inspire. I'm also really grateful for the creative use of various, previously created, music tracks (some popular) used on the soundtracks in films by Michael Mann, Quentin Tarantino, Ridley Scott, etc. and their music editors. It's why I have my share of those tracks on my iPod. Thanks, Patti, for bringing the subject up in your post.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-70398090331899202692009-12-21T13:00:24.832-05:002009-12-21T13:00:24.832-05:00Some film composers are simply geniuses.

Max Steiner did much the same with the Casablanca theme, As Time Goes By. It evokes tears. And more recently, Basil Poledouris wrought sublime music for Lonesome Dove. And I should mention Randy Edelman, the young genius who did the soul-touching score of Gettysburg. <br /><br />Richard WheelerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-47437519832623860092009-12-21T12:33:25.744-05:002009-12-21T12:33:25.744-05:00I think it must be something akin to color-blindne...I think it must be something akin to color-blindness.

Or Zamfir's pan flute, in "Once Upon A Time In America." It can also be a distraction when they throw in a bunch of unnecessary songs every few minutes in a movie, just so that they can sell the soundtrack. Most of the songs should have some sort of attachment to the action that is going on up on the screen, or at least it should provoke a sentiment that the character or the audience will feel.<br /><br />Yet, the sign of a really great soundtrack is one that inspires you, the way that John Williams's music did with "Star Wars" or "Indiana Jones." Watch Michael Mann's version of "Last of The Mohicans" again, and tell me that the score doesn't give you goosebumps.Cormac Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02990698766444728760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-25958898665557836012009-12-21T11:47:58.412-05:002009-12-21T11:47:58.412-05:00Jerry Goldsmith was the first film composer I was ...Jerry Goldsmith was the first film composer I was aware of--his music for "Chinatown" expresses the tone of the movie completely. I also like the composers of the 1930s like Franz Waxman. I like music to complement and reflect what is happening on-screen. Generally, I'm only aware of music if it seems out-of-place with the action it is supposed to be supporting.Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-47218197438553151962009-12-21T11:32:17.010-05:002009-12-21T11:32:17.010-05:00I like the music to be there but I don't reall...I like the music to be there but I don't really pay attention much unless it doesn't jive with the scene.

Currently have about 300 movie soundtrack CDs. Faves include THE WIND AND THE LION (Goldsmith), NCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (Morricone), ALIENS (Horner), STAR WARS (WIlliams), DAY OF THE DOLPHIN (Georges Delerue), MOVIOLA II (John Barry) and many more.
