I remembered this one I discovered on Civilization V but it's from a 1940 movie. I liked the song so much I actually watched the movie last year.

I've already thought about a few tracks, though they may be rather well-known. Even though I've seen my share of movies in my lifetime, I wouldn't call myself a big movie buff, so my selection may be somewhat limited.

^^^ Meltdowner, I opted not to allow video games this round. I think that would be worthy of its own round.

^ Raff, I'm looking forward, or should I say listening forward, to hearing ones that I know. I'm hoping for some nostalgic "feelies" in this poll. Knownness won't discourage me from voting for a choice this round.

Ah pure awesomeness!!! R.I.P. Joel Schumacher, BTW.

sad only non-prog is allowed, Goblin alone deserves attention, a lot of great soundtracks, even though some movies were tongue in cheek. 

This is going to be the toughest round, toughest choice to nominate. So many great OST songs.

This is my firts choice. THIS IS IN ABSOLUTE MY FAVE MUSIC FROM A FILM, AND TAKEN FROM A FILM OF MY FAVE DIRECTOR.


1) ZBIGNIEW PREISNER: "

"Van den Budenmayer Concerto en mi mineur (SBI 152) Version de (1798)"

FROM: "The Double Life of Veronica", directed by Krzysztov Kieslowski - 

(in reality this music is written by Preisner, and Van den Budenmayer is a name of fantasy).




If somebody want to see the scene of the film with his music:





2) ALTERNATIVE TRACK, IN HOMAGE TO ENNIO MORRICONE:

ENNIO MORRICONE AND JOAN BAEZ: 

"THE BALLAD OF SACCO AND VANZETTI"

taken from the film "Sacco and Vanzetti" directed by Giuliano Montaldo

I assume Trent Reznor is ok. He's in PA as Nine Inch Nails but his soundtrack material with Atticus Ross isn't listed as far as I can tell.

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross - "Technically, Missing" - Gone Girl



As alternative #1, I give a shout to the big guy and the first piece of film music that stuck with me as a kid. 

Akira Ifukube - "Gojira Main Title" - Godzilla (1954)


Ikufube created the signature Godzilla (Gojira) "roar" that's heard at the beginning of the clip by using a leather glove coated in resin and a double bass. 

EDIT: No longer alternative #2. See page 5 for new alternative #2.

As alternative #2, I'll follow up with a modern kaiju movie.

Ramin Djawadi feat. Tom Morello - "Pacific Rim" - Pacific Rim

 

This is the main title theme.

^ If the collaboration. plus him solo, is not in PA, then I think it's fine. Heck, I won't complain if someone does a Phil Collins soundtrack except that I'd then be expected to listen to it. :lol:

I was really tempted to open it up to ones in PA. Love Goblin and others. Vangelis and Oldfield,and Peter Gabriel?, would get votes if nominated, and I love Fabio Frizzi and Alian Goaraguer and others. Will I did leave that issue open to discussion, I do think it better to exclude those that are in PA. It still feels a shame to me. That said, we can always create prog polls on soundtracks in PA (I've done various ones in the past). There isn't as much soundtrack variety in PA, so it's easier to cover a lot of ground than with ones not in PA in a non-interactive way, or interactive in having an "other" option.

I have that soundtrack, and love the film. I love various Zbigniew Preisner soundtracks for Kieslowski films. My personal favourites are for Blue, White and Red (the Three Colours trilogy).

------------------------------------------------

And just a note lest people forget, I plan to copy-paste the names into the poll from your post and would like the format to be Composer - "Track Name" - Film name. Such standardised formatting will make it easier for me and if people don't all post the relevant info (composer, name of track, film) I might make mistakes. Making minor adjustments is not a big deal as long as you have posted in text the relevant info and I don't have look it up/ research or type it myself. It is easier if I can just copy post it (in one line) into the poll options and we all use the same format.

6. For this round, while it is up to each person's discretion, I would suggest not discounting a musical piece just because you feel you already knew it too well.

So, this genius work of John Williams is already one of the strongest contenders for me. What is more, this is my favourite march music, even including national marches and stuff.

Ah, this reminded me one of my other favourite JW soundtracks. I could've put it in the "guilty pleasures" poll. I don't like Harry Potter movies at all, but this OST piece is one helluva awesome thing.

My third alternative:  One of my all-time favorite movies is "O Brother Where Art Thou", so I have to include one from that soundtrack.  

"I Am Weary (Let Me Rest)" - The Cox Family - from "O Brother Where Art Thou" (2000)

Maybe my fave film is Red Film.

But the music of Double Life of Veronica in my opinion is the peak of inspiration of Preisner, esspecially the track I've posted.

I've edited my last messsage with the format you prefer.

[QUOTE=Logan]^ Yes, very sad and a strange coincidence. Woke up at about 3 am thinking about preparing this, and wondering which Ennio Morricone track I'd list, came onto the site, and there was the news at the top of the forum. In a way I am glad that I did decide to do this poll which could act as my little tribute to him. His music has meant so very much to me./QUOTE]
This is precisely the kind of thing that makes me second-think my feelings regarding afterlife/god musings, which we discussed on another thread, quite some time ago.  Also, this is Poll Ate (8, infinity....)

^Yes, and well,I have had some experiences which I might have mentioned before. I was convinced that there was an after life on more one occasion.

I love this Douglas Adams line: "It's not so much an Afterlife, more a sort of Aprés Vie."

^^ Fixed, although methinks it should be "The Dog 8 My Movie Soundtracks."

Maybe mine is Red too. I wrote a paper on those films in school. I really love the Dekalog ten part series, if you haven't seen it. Not sure how easy that would be to find with Italian subtitles.   Kieslowski and Zhang Yimou were really influential in me deciding to do film studies (I was accepted and ready to go into the program, but unfortunately the film studies major was pulled from the curriculum).

It's important to respect the rule of NON-PROG SONGS here.

We are not here to post Goblin, that everyone here in PA knows just for their soundtracks.

The spirit of these Interactive polls is to share our fave non-prog music, especially if it is music less-known.

So, it's the opposite than to post Goblin or Vangelis or Oldfield or Gabriel: they are very well-known prog artists and their music for films is famous. No interest in this.

Instead, in the Prog Poll category it is possible to post the prog songs, if someone wants to open Interactive Poll there, and in that case, in my opinion, the rules were far too restrictive, because choosing only between albums with less than 50 reviews it seems to me excessive. 

I would have excluded only the first 10 albums in each category and the first 200 albums in the general ranking.

PS But I've seen a good partecipation, so, that's all right.

Hi,

Here is a small list ... no tracks named because in most of these there are more than one moment with different music, and soundtracks (FOR ME) are not about songs or jingles for radio!

List is not in order at all ... impossible for me to do so! It's hard to not include things like Ken Russell's very special films on Elgar, Tchaikovsky and Mahler. I also could not identify a couple of the Chinese films that had some outstanding music in them ... at least two of them I wrote a review almost all around it. There also were a couple of Japanese films that I wanted to add, but I was not able to find good enough information ... for example "A Taxing Woman Returns" has a bunch of moments with a guitar going nuts and it is exceptional. One other film was about a story teller (or writer) and I can't remember which one it was yet. In general, it's strange to me that so many Japanese films I have seen, and so few of them have so little music to show for it ... and Ryuichi made his name in Europe, not Japan!

Mogwai - KIN
Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence
Jack Nitzsche - Performance 
The Lover - Gabriel Yared
Tous Les Matins du Monde - Sainte Colombe
Popol Vuh - Aguirre, The Wrath of God
Vangelis - Chariots of Fire
Vangelis - Blade Runner
Ryuichi Sakamoto - Little Buddha
Ryuichi Sakamoto - The Sheltering Sky
Glenn Gould - 32 Short Films About Glenn Gloud
Anastasia (Macedonian Folk Group) - Before The Rain
Terje Rypdal/Jan Garbarek/ECM - Journey of Hope (Oscar Winner)
Zbiniew Preissner - The Double Life of Veronique
Carmen (more of a new interpretation) - Carlos Saura
Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman _ The Last of the Mohicans
Ennio Morricone - The Mission
Maurice Jarre - Doctor Zhivago
Brian May - The Road Warrior (not the same BM from Queen)
Bernard Herrmann - The Day the Earth Stood Still
Bernard Herrmann - Jason and the Argonauts
Goblin - Too many films to list
Nino Rota - Too many films to list

Carlos Saura is the only odd ball here, since his films, for the most part are ALL about dance ... his Lorca trilogy is all dancing, Carmen is all dancing, and then Tango is all dancing. But the music and how it is shown/used, ends up making you feel like it is a regular film and the music personifies it!

I'll add more as I find/remember them!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

you think everyone knows about Goblin? I very much doubt that. 
But ok, no prog then.
