Love Get Carter Theme and have heard many great cover versions over the years. Also Schindlers List - very moving

Re: The best and worst movie music.

are we just talking about theme music, or actual music by artists, which is featured in movies?

lets see, theme-wise

Lord of the Rings - the opening title theme, and the main theme that plays alot throughout the film.

The Fog (1980) - the main theme, played over the ending credits, brilliant chilling 80s horror music.

Star Wars - most of the music in it

Scarface (1983) - the main theme on the opening credits

as for worst, i don't know, i don't really think of bad music when i think of films.

Re: The best and worst movie music.

While not necessarily being great music, the music in "Gregory's girl" is absolutely perfect for the film. Similarly but less known is the music to the Sandrine Bonnaire film "Vagabonde".

Re: The best and worst movie music.

I was glad when the symbolic bike going off the cliff meant the moody so and so and bought it.

I don't think that he did.
For a split second you see him standing as the scooter goes over the edge.
Also, & probably more importantly, at the start of the film you see him walking away from the cliffs.
The movie is kind of a loop, i.e. It begins at the end, & ends at the beginning.
I may be wrong, it could have been made that way to leave it open to interpretation, but as far as I am aware Jimmy lives.

Sorry SF, I know you didn't like him.

Re: The best and worst movie music.

Bloody hate Quadrophenia....Phil Daniels character just needs a dam good hiding - petulant nerk... I was glad when the symbolic bike going off the cliff meant the moody so and so and bought it...anyhow, all the characters were nasty and unlikeable.

On the subject of music not suiting the film, I love Mike Oldfield's music, but his brilliant Tubular Bells was so wrong for The Exorcist.

Re: The best and worst movie music.

I dont like the music at the end of freddy's revenge it just does not suit the film.
if anyone has heard they will know what i mean.
