What are some of your favorite film scores?
I liked the drums in the closing music to the original 'RedDawn'.

I'm going to have to go back to my adolescence: Ben-Hur was the biggest, baddest soundtrack, and I first heard really great speakers (Klipschhorn) over great amps (McIntosh) play that huge and soul-stirring music. Like your first kiss, not forgotten.

Two more that I think have been missed...





And I didn't know it, but there's a "long version" of the BoB theme...an Opus, if you will:





"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

I guess my taste is more pedestrian. I like the soundtracks from Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2

Edited to admit, I confused “score” with “soundtrack.”
