Zombi 2 (1979)

The main theme is incredible.

I am also a big fan of the Shogun Assassin soundtrack. (The U.S. version).

Re: The best and worst movie music.

I dont have a favourite film score/soundtrack but my favourite Film score composer has to be John Williams. If you dont know what he has done, firstly shame on you secondly google him

If i was forced to chose I would probably go for the Star wars sound track as i just love the big orchestral scores and that is the daddy of them all

worst sound track ever - Batman by prince........ utter rubbish

Some of the original music for The Shining was by Wendy Carlos of Switch On Bach fame, who also provided music for A Clockwork Orange.

Re: The best and worst movie music.

There's two things in this world that I love: Anything by Stanley Kubrick and music from the 1920s and '30s. And in my opinion the two came together most masterfully in The Shining.

Re: The best and worst movie music.

both mate.

for example dario argento's inferno has superb music by keith emerson.
check this..

there are plenty other bits of music as you can see to click on

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.

Love Get Carter Theme and have heard many great cover versions over the years.

The DVD of Get Carter has an isolated audio track so you can here all the songs without any dialogue overlapping.

I've nor heard it but the Human League's version of the Get Carter theme is supposed to be good.
