Hans Zimmer is awesome, every score he does is full of life.
I am a fan of Philip Glass. Oddball composer and an odd taste of music. He did Hamburger Hill (my fav of his), Kundun, The Hours and a lot of other films. I think Southpark even made fun of him at one point. But he is my #1. |

The songs in the Lion King are great to be sure but so is the score: Hans Zimmer again. If ever there were films that I want to be great but just aren't it's Pirates of the Caribbean. Luckily the scores are as good as the films should be. The main theme "He's a Pirate" sounds very Zimmer but apparently isn't (although if he didn't actually write it he certainly took it and ran for the sequels). Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ends on a bit of a downer and marks the point at which the series gets adult and serious, which is why the credits music is more downbeat than is standard for huge blockbusters.

If A Bug's Life fits into any genre other than the unhelpful "animation", it's surely the Western; it's fitting that Randy Newman's score generally and the main theme in particular noticeably draw on 70-odd year's worth of existing Western soundtracks.

Hans Zimmer has done a lot of great stuff.
anyone know if he's still writing music for soundtracks?

Hans Zimmer is still writing soundtracks. Coming up next he's got How Do You Know (James L Brooks romantic comedy with a great cast), Rango (odd looking CG animation with the voice of Johnny Depp), Kung Fu Panda 2 and the next installments of both the POTC and Batman franchises.
More Zimmer: Crimson Tide (1995) original music by Hans Zimmer containing elements of the hymn Eternal Father, Strong to Save (music: John B Dykes; lyrics: William Whiting) and another great submarine song: The Hunt for Red October (1990) original music by Basil Poledouris containing elements of the National Anthem of the Soviet Union (music: Alexander Alexandrov; lyrics Sergey Mikhalkov, Gabriel El-Registan) |

The best thing about POTC by a long way is the music. I would watch a fourth one for the music alone.
More Basil Poledouris (1946-2006) now. His best scores are all stirring military-inspired themes big on pomp and brass, but he also did gentler ones for stuff like The Blue Lagoon and Free Willy. I always thought he did The Total Recall score but I just found out it was Jerry Goldsmith so that one will have to wait.

If you're making a big film in which lots of people fight, and there are sad moments, for God's sake get Hans Zimmer to score it. Gladiator has been mentioned lots of times in this thread but nobody's posted it yet. It is the best soundtrack in the world: when the track below gets going it actually pushes everything else out of my head and I literally cannot think of anything at all for a couple of minutes. Most of the rest of these are magnificent too:
Black Hawk Down (2001) original music by Hans Zimmer The Da Vinci Code (2006) original music by Hans Zimmer The Dark Knight (2008) original music by James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer Gladiator (2000) original music by Lisa Gerard and Hans Zimmer The Last Samurai (2003) original music by Hans Zimmer Pearl Harbor (2001) original music by Hans Zimmer The Rock (1996) original music by Nick Glennie-Smith and Hans Zimmer composer, additional music: Harry Gregson-Williams The Thin Red Line (1998) original music by Hans Zimmer |

Here's a few less obvious and earlier Zimmer themes. Less bombastic than those already posted perhaps, but these are still likely to get into your head and not come out for a while, especially those bloody Panpipes in Rain Man. Meanwhile the wailing guitars from Black Rain, Zimmer's best early score, are back for Days of Thunder and Broken Arrow.
Rain Man (1988) music by Hans Zimmer Days of Thunder (1990) original music by Hans Zimmer Broken Arrow (1996) original music by Hans Zimmer Mission: Impossible II (2000) original music by Hans Zimmer Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002) original music by Hans Zimmer |

Well, I saw the Lion King and Little Mermaid, so those are covered. I liked the Little Mermaid so much that I threw a Little Mermaid themed Hallowwen party in college. Imagine a whole bunch of really drunk college folk dressed as their favorite Mermaid character...
Anyhow, no one mentioned the soundtrack from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. I still love that disc to this day |

Some Bernard Herrmann now: he was apparently supposed to be credited for his influence on Richard Band's tongue-poking Re-Animator but due to some mixup was not; either way the homage is clear.

toru takemitsu. his film work is awesome. it's beyond "soundtrack"---use of music and sound design as an integrated whole and without the american preference for pushing you around.
here's my favorite--"black hair" the first sequence from kobayashi's "kwaidan" (1964). there's other great stuff. if i don't forget, i'll post some.

Roachboy: I'm interested in hearing the Kwaidan music but I want to avoid spoiling the actual film so I'm going to wait and watch it properly. Continuing the Japanese theme, here's some choice cuts from Joe Hisaishi, mostly from Miyazaki/Ghibli films.
Castle in the Sky (1986) original music by Joe Hisaishi Porco Rosso (1992) original music by Joe Hisaishi Princess Mononoke (1997) original music by Joe Hisaishi Kikujiro (1999) original music by Joe Hisaishi Spirited Away (2001) original music by Joe Hisaishi Howl's Moving Castle (2004) original music by Joe Hisaishi |

This crazy pseudo baroque, sax-powered extravaganza was made for The Draughtsman's Contract and much later used in A Cock and Bull Story, Man on Wire and an episode of Top Gear.
The Draughtsman's Contract (1982) original music Chasing Sheep is Best Left to Shepherds by Michael Nyman Where's the last place you'd expect to hear the soundtrack of a dour and moody cop thriller? That's right: in an AQUARIUM. But I did hear this music at that place last Sunday; I suppose they had on some chillout compilation CD to make the viewing of big pretty fishes an even better experience. Without this playing it would have been a good day out, with it it was fucking awesome. Heat (1995) original music by Elliot Goldenthal music performed by Kronos Quartet Kronos Quartet brings me on to probably their most famous outing: Clint Mansell's Lux Aeterna from Requiem for a Dream. This song has expanded itself so far now into pop culture that it's become a cliche, mostly thanks to an absurd but effective application Sky Sports News. Requiem for a Dream (2000) original music Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell performed by Kronos Quartet There's only one place to go now that Clint Mansell's name has been mentioned... The Fountain (2006) original music Death is the Road to Awe by Clint Mansell |
