Eli_G_100 Hey, I totally agree with your selection, especially with Requiem for a Dream, great soundtrack. I think you should add the Fight Club final scene soundtrack, where [b]*SPOILER*[/b] [i]the building is being destroyed[/i] [b]*SPOILER*[/b]. Anyway, great selection of soundtracks.

ObeeHunter Yeah, I know the one you're talking about. It's Where Is My Mind by the Pixies. I agree that's an awesome song and it fits the scene perfectly. The only thing is that in this particular list I was only including scores put together by composers. Although the Fight Club ost is one of my faves too :)

uncle_aubrey Nice selection of themes! :) I agree with all of them, basically. Keep scrobbling!

Thorpe No Danny Elfman? Well, I'm glad you had James Newton Howard there. He is great. :D

crestfall1 though Lux Aeterna & the overtures are one of the greatest things composed by Clint Mansell (or ever, for that matter), but I'd put the songs from The Fountain even higher. IMO any of the Fountain songs > any of the Requiem songs. and that's a lot.

trolllover James newton howard's ost to lady in the water is also very good, esp 'Prologue'.

CvaldaVessalis Well chosen, especially with the cues taken directly from my childhood by Fiedel, Silvestri and Williams... don't you think Silvestri is severely underrated by Hollywood standards considering how many scores he's actually written?? I have to give mention to Thomas Newman though, whose American Beauty score is one of my favorites... alongside Hans Zimmer, Gustavo Santaolalla, Joby Talbot, Angelo Badalamenti, John Barry and Ennio Morricone... too much to cram in to a Top 10 though, so it's understandable! ;^)

Thorpe: Have to say, not the biggest Elfman fan. I mean the Batman theme is freakin sick . . perhaps it deserves a place on the list. Damn, I knew it'd be hard to narrow it down to 10. crestfall: I fell in love with Requiem when it was first released. Then all the trailers came with their Lux Aeterna music and sort of trivialized the track if you ask me. Now if any movie uses that for their trailer, I immediately disregard it. CvaldaVess: Wow nice choices. Although I specicially wanted to stick to scores and in a way, not consider the composers. Just trying to think of scores that will instantly put you in the frame of mind of that particular movie - I mean where would Jaws be without that threatening 'danger approaching' music. I'll have to check out some of those composers though :)
