There's not a single teenager on Earth that didn't tear up in Never Back Down when Soulja Boy came on.

Crank that, Soulja Boy. Crank that, forever.

edit:

Can you believe that mix-up?!

Can't believe I forgot the Dark Knight in that list, as well as Schindler's List. John Williams has got to be the greatest composer of movie music of all time, great man!

There's not a single teenager on Earth that didn't tear up in Never Back Down when Soulja Boy came on.
Never Back Down had an amazing soundtrack. When they played Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - False Pretense during the training montage that shit was so hard. That film is such a great example of 2006-2008. pure quality. also shoutout to Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. That films soundtrack was also AMAZING. Well at least it was for 10 year old me.


My answer has to be Cloud Atlas though. Not that the soundtrack is great to listen to by itself as standalone music, but how it fits into that film is amazing. absolute masterpiece. The critics at the toronto film festival who watched it gave it a 10 minute standing ovation but the film never really took off with the general population. It's just one of those films you either love it or you get bored in 15 mins and turn it off, it just depends if youre the type of person to get envloped in a movie for 2 and a half hours or if you fidget and get up for food or move around etc. but boi that shit goes so hard. If anyone hasn't seen it the film is worth watching JUST for how the soundtrack is adapted across the scenes in the film.

How about music that was not written specially for movies? Here are my personal favourites:
Jupiter from The Planets, used in Paradise Road
The Organ Symphony by Saint Saens, used in Babe
Elgar's Cello Concerto used in Paradise Road and Lorenzo's Oil
Nimrod from the Enigma Variations, used in Australia and Elizabeth
Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner, used in Apocalypse Now

Yes, I love Hans Zimmer, and the Dark Knight music is great. Narnia is another I had forgotten. We had to watch The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in English in Year 8 and I hated the movie but loved the music! :D

Ditto.

Just to segue into TV show soundtracks- tbh the Game of Thrones opening music is pretty good imo. :)
