Oh I really love the score to Apollo 13 I have watched that film sooo many times. The violin solo on Schindler's list does it for me every time too.

We're talking about scores LOL not songs.

I'd love to add Craig Armstrong's "Ray" to my list.

Craig Armstrong (not Greg) did Love Actually.

Didn't Jerry Goldsmith do Legend? I heard that is a very rare score.

The Piano by Michael Nyman is definitely a score :)

Apollo 13 is such an uplifting, yet sad score. Fitting for its subject matter. I love hearing both the dialogue and non-dialogue versions. The dialogue reminds me of the movie, and the nondialogue reminds me of the glory of the music.

As you can see Horner is one of my favorite composers.

Looking at my list I don't think I have anything from Debney or Newton Howard on there. *stare*

Cutthroat Island by John Debney (his best, and the standard for all pirate scores to follow, few of which matched it)
SeaQuest DSV by John Debney
The Passion by John Debney
The Village by James Newton Howard
Treasure Planet by James Newton Howard
Atlantis: The Lost Empire by James Newton Howard
The Sixth Sense by James Newton Howard

Ironically enough I have not heard his best, which is Dinosaur.

Road To Perdition by Thomas Newman
Little Women by Thomas Newman
Meet Joe Black by Thomas Newman
Finding Nemo by Thomas Newman
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events by Thomas Newman
Finding Neverland (can't spell the composer's name offhand)
Batman by Danny Elfman
Edward Scissorhands by Danny Elfman
Good Will Hunting by Danny Elfman
Ice Age by David Newman (his second best next to Anastasia)

That's all I can think of for now!

Oh, Dracula (1931) by Phillip Glass.

And I find I didn't list LOTR or Harry Potter series either! Good grief. Those are my favorites too.

I'd love the song 'Don't Cry For My Argentina' From the movie 'Evita', about Eva Perón.

My dear Eva, 1919-1952.

Road To Perdition - Thomas Newman!

Thomas Newman is just wonderful to listen to. This quote from him is so wise.

"I remember a teacher once asked me, what makes music sad? What a brilliant question. His answer was, it takes on the physical qualities of something sad. Meaning if it's sad, a melody will move in step-wise manner. It will tend to be slower as you are when you're sad; it takes on the physical characteristics of an emotional state. Something in the music rings and carries you back to a memory you have that elicits a feeling. I guess what's wonderful about music is that it's utterly abstract and yet has a great kind of sinuous, subjective emotional reaction. I like the idea that music can be dimensional, that it's not necessarily playing what's there."
