Arguably the greatest motion picture soundtrack ever

[Roland99]

“I will find you!”

[PJMcK]

1. That's a great score

However, there are far too many great soundtracks to call any one score the "greatest."

[Roland99]

3. True, hence "arguably"

But this is just so utterly moving. Even after all these years, I still get goosebumps

[PJMcK]

8. Film scores have always fascinated me

As a musician and a writer, I've worked on a number of films. It's really fun to collaborate with terrifically talented people.

There are some recordings I have of scores that were recorded but then rejected by either the director, the producer or the studio. These include original scores for "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Apocalypse Now" and "The Green Hornet." It's kind of fun to cue up the music track and the film scene and play them together to see what might have been. Usually, the music choice was the right one.

[Roland99]

10. Music can trigger some of the strongest emotions.

As well as memories. All it takes is a few notes and one can be instantly transported back decades

[dhill926]

12. yep...2001 is perhaps the most famous example of...

temp love ever...

[Paladin]

2. Love it. Love everything about that movie. (nt)

[Bayard]

4. I was thinking that as I clicked on your title

Definitely one of my favorites, and a favorite movie with terrific cinematography.

[Roland99]

6. Time to introduce this to my daughter and her bf

[Duppers]

27. Great minds and all. 😉

Totally agree here!

[Roland99]

7. Love it

I still have my CD that I bought when the film came out. It was also the first time I had ever heard of Clannad, and I love their stuff!

I live not far from where they filmed many of the exterior scenes in the film. It was exciting around here when the film came out!

[Roland99]

9. I first heard of them as the intro music to you to U2's "under a blood red sky" video

I believe it was “Harry’s Game”

[Aristus]

31. This was the first time I ever heard them.

I remember people clamoring for the "music in the VW commercial!..."

[Roland99]

32. Ayup....same song. It was the opening for Live at Red Rocks concert in 1983

[Ron Obvious]

23. So this IS Clannad then?

I know a song called "I will find you" by Clannad, but I've never seen this film, nor did I recognise this score particularly as it didn't have the haunting vocals.

I went to the Imdb page for it but didn't see a mention of Clannad.

[Roland99]

33. The track I posted wasn't Clannad but they did have the vocalized song "I Will Find You (Love Theme"

[moose65]

38. Yes

“I Will Find You” was the love theme from the film. The version in the film is slightly different from the version that Clannad usually does in concert.

[Binkie The Clown]

11. Love film music. In my next incarnation I plan on being a film score composer.

Either that or world champion chess player.
Or maybe a small-town barber.
so many options...

[asiliveandbreathe]

13. Really enjoy this discussion - great MP soundtrack..and so many

more..Saturday Night Fever,..A Star is Born..Age of Aquarius..Rocky...probably dating myself..

[chowder66]

14. This and The Mission's soundtracks are two of my all time favorites.

[Roland99]

15. And Philip Glass's reuse of previous scores on the Truman Show soundtrack

[chowder66]

16. Ah yes. Good one!!

[Corgigal]

17. I always enjoy this,

and didn’t think anyone else liked it too much. YouTube counts show me, I’m wrong. Lots of people enjoy it.

[Roland99]

18. Evokes 80s sci-fi themes quite well

[Ron Obvious]

22. Loved the soundtrack!

Couldn't warm to the show itself, but have played the soundtrack to seasons 1 and 2 many times.

[AwakeAtLast]

19. I really like "Requiem For A Dream"

Kronos Quartet is so good! It stays with you.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

20. This is what came to my mind...

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

21. And...

[jrandom421]

24. Not Even close

I'll go with the 1978 Oscar winner for best original score

[First Speaker]

25. Great film, great music...

...it's in the top tier. My personal favorite soundtrack is Herrmann's *Vertigo*. Film music is terrific, maybe my favorite musical genre...

[Quemado]

26. The Sound of Music

29. Quadrophenia (film)

[hatrack]

39. I'm listening to "Love Reign O'er Me" and just clicked on this link . . . .

Perfect!

[IcyPeas]

40. That song is a poignant scene in the movie... very memorable

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

30. Last of the Mohicans is a favorite. I play it when I'm driving curving roads in woods.

Another good one that fits, from the movie Sorcerer.

[Ron Obvious]

36. Loved Sorcerer and the Tangerine Dream Soundtrack

Oddly, they also used it for the trailer for the movie "The Warriors". Fits pretty well, really.

[TuxedoKat]

34. That's beautiful, here's one I LOVE

From Witness, the barn-raising scene. The music is by Maurice Jarre, but reminds me of Aaron Copeland.

[VGNonly]

35. Is it you?

Somewhere in Time-John Barry

[Coventina]

37. Respectfully disagree

The best soundtracks were by Bernard Herrmann working with Alfred Hitchcock:

The Trouble with Harry
The Man Who Knew too Much
Vertigo
North by Northwest
Psycho
