Mine has gotta be from Risky Business (1983) - Tangerine Dream is goregous!

I also like the song @ the end of CAGED FURY (1989) - I dont know the name of it though... (It plays during the end credits)

I love film composer John Barry, so it's a tossup between the King Kong remake and The Knack and How to Get It. I loved The Knack so much that I bought the damned soundtrack, even though it's super rare that the only available CDs were coming out of Japan.

Another favorite of mine is Bugsy Malone. I'm not that good at the piano, but I've been trying to play the music from that film.

I really like the main title theme from The Shining by Wendy Carlos.

Film score music is the only genre I listen to regularly. Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams are my two favorite composers. My favorite scores tend to be from my favorite films.

Jerry Goldsmith - Gremlins, Hoosiers, Poltergeist, Rudy, The Secret of NIMH

John Williams - Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Raiders of the Lost Ark and the other Indiana Jones films, Star Wars franchise, Superman

I also like Bill Conti for the Rocky and The Karate Kid franchises and Alan Silvestri for the Back to the Future franchise.

I'm a big fan of any sports films, so I enjoy Field of Dreams, Glory Road, Miracle and Remember the Titans.

My favorite film score is from The Last of the Mohicans. Epic.

Also loved the Tangerine Dream score from Legend.

Another good movie score is The Player by Thomas Newman. I really like the main title theme because of the percussion.

biffbronson · 03-06-2021, 07:00 PM

I go for romantic songs from movies.

The first one that came to mind for me was from 1965, "Somewhere My Love (Lara's Theme)" from Dr. Zhivago.

Also "The Way We Were" from that 1973 film (Marvin Hamlisch).

Torgo · 03-10-2021, 10:37 AM

Theme from the 1987 German horror film Nekromantik, composed by Hermann Kopp, Daktari Lorenz, John Boy Walton (no, seriously, that's the name he goes by)
