The Dean Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) I'm starting to think a more interesting category may be "Best original score" for a movie. Most of what has been mentioned (by me as well) are movies that have a bunch of music we know and like. Composing movie specifically for a particular movie is a real art form in itself. Good Bad and Ugly is a great choice. How about The Last Tango in Paris soundtrack? Here's a piece: Edited July 9, 2020 by The Dean 1

I also agree that writing music for a movie is a great art form. Far more challenging than songs.

Cool, thanks for that. As an aside, Mike Nesmith (The Monkeys) was executive producer of Repo Man and I always assumed a big influence on the soundtrack. 2
Doc Brown Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Reservoir Dogs. One song in particular stood out.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Truly a difficult question. How does one equate a full symphonic score written for a movie to a 'period piece', where the music of the era serves as the soundtrack? * That being said, 'Bullitt'. A great jazz score by Lalo Schifrin.

The Dean Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Id say others for consideration would be The Four Seasons (pretty much all Vivaldi) and Amadeus. But that might be a Pats* like cheat, too. 1
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Original Jurassic Park score by John Williams--still gets me every time.

T&C Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 This is kind of a lost album in their catalog but it is indeed a movie soundtrack, still have my vinyl copy:
