Underrated Film Scores

[<(o_o)>]

Christopher Young : Hellraiser 1 & 2.

 

[Backdrifter]

James Horner is soooo good.



Krull. The double disc is fantastic.

James Horner sooooo used to be good untill he started copying himself and now he is a hack...

 

[Backdrifter]

See, I always thought James Horner's score for the Star Trek films were underated. Everyone mentions Aliens, but since Horner and Cameron had such a tough time working together, alot of the themes from Aliens came from his Star Trek score.

James Horner? Copying himself? Nahhhhhh......

 

[Catman]

Danny Elfman-Black Beauty

I AGREE! It's such a beautiful score and people have forgotten about it. Not to mention that WB has the CD out of stock. BASTARDS!

But the truly under-rated score is the one for Ladyhawke. Yeah, I know it does not match the film AT ALL, but the score itself is awesome.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

I forgot the "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" score by Alan Silvestri.

Oh yeah, that was a f**kin' incredible score to an incredible movie. I so need to watch it again soon.

 

[Apocalypso]

Elmer Bernstein's symphonic score for Heavy Metal.

 

[ZER0C00L]

ZeroCool, nothing beats vangelis' Blade Runner and John Williams' Star Wars.

iv been on the computer so iv left Blade Runner Directors cut on replay over and over. the score is a bit odd.

i like the momments of the score where zORA gets blown away. the end with Deckard and Roy.
the ending theme credits is a bit corny reminds me of Space Balls to much. but the score has good momments iv been thinking about it a lot.

Spy Game.

Well i'm not a big fan of thr score to be honest.

But one of the tracks ( i believe it's the last one) called Dinner Out ( rothrock mix) is really awesome
Especially the part where the guitar solo kicks in , pure brilliance

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

shirley's walker mask of the phantasm...

everyone always jumps up elfman's ass when talking about the batman one but i truelly think shirley's theme is far more fitting to the dark knight.

 

[Batman333]

James Horner is really really good!

 

[Batman333]

John William's Schindler's List was an excellent score as well

 

[matrix_ghost]

A score that has won a oscar , how can that be underrated. JW won a oscar for Schindler's list.

With underrated i'd say a score that not many people have listened to or a score that has won few of No awards but still is quite good.

Oh, you don't need to sell me on Shirly Walker. Her work on the Flash series was phenomenal!! But I have to disagree with you on her theme being more fitting than Elfman's. His, I find has a lot more range than Walkers.

Her work on the Final Destination films is great, though!

 

[sp1derg1rl]

what score is that?

DAT is short for the Day After Tommorow.

 

[Backdrifter]

James Horner is really really good!

Bzzzz! Wrong.

Though John Williams is already a glory hog , I must say I really like his score for Jaws 2 - it's significantly different than the original. It's probably the only good thing any of those sequels ever contributed.

Did Ferris Bueller really have a score in the traditional sense? The opening theme for Star Wars was used during the scene when the garage attendants took the Ferarri for a joyride, but other than that, I didn't hear any real music created for the film, just random songs.

I f***in' love the lo-fi, creepy music from Blood Sucking Freaks.
It's a big inspiration for the music I've written for a horror film I hope to make.
