This is part two of my soundtracks blog post. You shared some awesome suggestions in part one. Hopefully this list of soundtracks musters up more great ideas!
Halo: Combat Evolved
Symphony No. 7 Allegreto
Symphony No. 7 Allegreto – Ludwig van Beethoven: Even if you don’t listen to a lot of classical music, you may recognize this piece. It has been used in many movies. Great to listen to for those scenes I write that include a twist.
Hans Zimmer
Braveheart
Highlander: The Original Scores
Highlander: The Original Scores – Michael Kamen, J. Peter Robinson, Stewart Copeland: It took me part of for-ev-er to find the original score to the first Highlander movie. While I will always believe that the second movie should be erased from time and burned from the memory of everyone who has ever seen it – the score for the first movie was pretty damn good. (The soundtrack by Queen was damn fine too!)
Requiem
Thor
Forrest Gump
Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country
Star Trek VI – Cliff Eidelman: Star Trek 2 is my favorite Trek movie, Trek 6 is my second favorite. Clever and thoughtful, I really enjoyed it. I also really liked that they went with a different composer because Eidelman brought a haunting score that fits this movie well.
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm – Shirley Walker: No, really, this score is awesome! Don’t discount it because it is a Batman cartoon, I saw this film in the theater and fell in love with the score. A dark, ominous and fun movie with great music.
