Nick Cave to the Australian film
Also did the music for the superb He’ll or High Water. There are some great bit of music in that film
The original Picnic at Hanging Rock. Pretty much all of it.
An American Werewolf in London - great soundtrack and very funny editing.
The church scene in Kingsman to Freebird. I thought that was excellent.
Once upon a time in the West, the harmonica bits.
Ending of Inception..
another vote for ennio morricones gabriels oboe from the mission.
immortal beloved is a favourite of mine and beethovens life and music are woven into the plot.
anything by van gelis as per the kermode prog the other night (which was ace)
Two words.....Dirty Dancing!!!
🙂
I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) from The Big Lebowski dream sequence.
The use of The End In Apocalypse Now.
Pretty much all of O Brother Where Art Thou.
High Plains Drifter and it’s freaky arse soundtrack
I was forced to watch Dirty Dancing! And it was ... ok! A million times better than that Star is Born travesty!
Beyond the Black Rainbow, just right from the start loved the music and visuals.
Been said already but interstellar for the win, especially through a good system with a powerful sub, the scene where he drives away from the farm and then it cuts to the ship taking off......just awesome 👏. I can make my pictures on the wall move around, bounce books from the shelf and I can feel the air movement from the front port on my krk 12s2 sub from 8ft away.....very childish but it leaves you digging fingernails into the seat as you hold on for dear life.

Noooooooooooo......... Aagh.............
I love Morricone but not that. In my view the natives should have broken the bloody thing before he started playing.
Erm, I'm an amateur oboist.
Don't Stop Me Now in Shaun of the Dead
Another impressive Clint Mansell score
True Romaance soundtrack,especially the 'Sicilian' scene,Dennis Hopper's character is about too get bumped off by Chris Walken,a wonderful operatic piece but with a senseless violent outcome,
'viens Mallika sous le dome edais' I believe.
Big fan of the soundtracks to Wes Anderson's movies
mark isham did an outstanding job for the soundtrack to the hitcher
Heat has had a mention already, but I love the car chase scene with Moby"s cover of New Dawn Fades.
Most of the tracks in Full Metal Jacket
I don't often slash a thread, but when I do, it's with THE TOUCH
/thread
Apocalypse Now, Full metal jacket, Platoon and I’ll raise you a ‘Good Morning Vietnam’
Good call on Wes Anderson film scores, here’s the weather scene from Moonrise Kingdom (in my top 5 films of all time)
I don't know if this has been mentioned (can't see video at work) but the score for Dunkirk really effected me. It didn't seem to have any real stand out tunes but the quiet thrum in the background that permeated the whole film really built a sense of dread in me.
Not a film, but The Umbrella Academy In Netflix has brilliant use of a pop song in just about every episode. Preacher and Fargo also have great soundtracks
The Peter Greenaway/Michael Nyman collaborations were pretty special.
An American Werewolf in London, in particular, the bit where the delicious Jenny Agutter is having a bit of rumpy pumpy.
Leonard Cohen . Natural born killers .

Ooh, good one. Ennio Morricone's "The Crisis" as used in Seven Pounds had a similar effect for me- it's a really beautiful, gentle song with constant glaring discordant notes just to let you never really settle.
But Morricone's still no Stan Bush
Pulp fiction!

The link is a YouTube video that describes the use of the Shepard Tone in Dunkirk. A really cool audio illusion that makes it sound like the pitch is ever increasing. A bit like a musical barbershop pole. It was used to build up tension in many scenes

Top Gun pretty much most of it.
Local Hero. The Mark Knopfler score is pretty much perfect in every way.
O Fortuna - Carl Orff. Excalibur.
The banjo face off in Deliverance is quite iconic too.
The opening scene of 'To Live And Die In LA' by Wang Chung.
In fact all of the soundtrack really.
I’ll also nominate opening scene of Blade.... crystal method if I recall correctly...!
Btw,I did a little wee when I imagined dez watching dirty dancing,tapping his feet.ha
&Good call raceface....
Not sure if ' Gladiator ' has been mentioned yet, I recall a few good scores in a few scenes.
Also Terminator 1 and 2 when the main theme kicked in.
Trainspotting and Easy Rider
Memo from Turner in Performance was well chosen
Athgray - interesting reading on the Shepard Tone, it certainly achieved the desired effect when I watched it.
An example of how a score can completely change the tone of a scene.
NSFW - bit gory
On a more serious note there is a sound playing in Irreversible that really adds something to the already unpleasant tension. Not really music but its a use of Audio that really enhances the visuals.
The scary tricks that Noé deploys for the fire extinguisher assault in Irreversible include spinning, vertiginous camerawork, disorienting red strobe lighting and, most effectively, a slow moaning siren soundtrack that includes a consistent 27-hertz rumble from the cinema's sub-woofer speaker - which translates as a vibrating sound that gradually induces nausea in the viewer (and is occasionally used by American police to quell inner-city riots by making the overexcited participants physically sick).
Irreversible is one of the few soundtracks I've bought/stolen over the years. (Also Christine, The Good the Bad & the Ugly, The Hit, Southern Comfort, Paris Texas & Dead Man)
Watched Skate Kitchen over the weekend and Junior Senior - "Move Your Feet" was a very uplifting, scene enhancing moment. Strangely it's not on the soundtrack, so they must've used it without permission, or something.
OOO oooo OOO
How could I forget, one of my favourite albums and movies of all time!!
Into The Wild Soundtrack, all of it.
Edith Bowman does a fantastic podcast called "sountracking" all about film music, quite a few episodes with Clint Mansell and the like, if you're into film music
Thanks scud,I wasn't aware of Soundtracking ,looks good.
It's interesting finding out how much work and thought go in to some scenes,as the link that athgray posted shows. Some more Zimmer details on the use of Roger Sayer's playing for Interstellar.
I watched BR2049 again on the weekend, was impressed again with just how well the sound was done, it was such an integral part of the film.
^^Little Miss Sunshine does it better 😉
Never seen or heard of that one until now. Is it worth watching?
Little Miss Sunshine is an amazing film, funny and touching.
Has this appeared yet? The late, great Albert Finney in Miller's Crossing:
MarkBrewer
I think it is,although for me the Napoleon Dynamite dance scene still wins.
Kickass.
I love the last scenes with Hitgirl in the lobby (Ennio Morricone - Per Qualche Dollaro in Più) and then in the corridor (Bad reputation).
Anyone memtioned the church scene in Kingsmen? 🙂
