May 1, 20187 yr A film is being made of your life. You get to pick the music. Assuming you don’t just get the music of your favorite band(s), who do you get to write the score or put together the soundtrack (living, dead, old, young, etc.)? · Williams (Star Wars, Jaws, ET, Close Encounters, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter…..) · Newman (Toy Story, The Natural, Ragtime, Cars, Monsters, Inc.) · Bernstein (West Side Story, classical stuff, Broadway) · Mancini (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Pink Panther. Peter Gunn) · Barry (Dances with Wolves, Bond films) · Jarre (Doctor Zhivago, Dead Poets, Lawrence of Arabia) · Vangelis (Chariots of Fire, Blade Runner) · Zimmer (Lion King, Gladiator, Thin Red Line, Dark Knight, Inception) · Horner (Titanic, Wrath of Khan, Aliens, Braveheart) · Tarrantino · Herrman (Psycho, Taxi Driver, Citizen Kane) I’m sure y’all will think of others. For me: Morricone. Easy choice. He was great at adventure, romance, sweeping "big moments", and simple beautiful moments. I could listen to the music from Cinema Paradiso and the Mission every day. The Good, the Bad, the Ugly is still amazing.

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly is still amazing. Great topic! Morricone is a great choice. Love his music. Cinema Paradiso is my favorite of his. My choice would be John Barry or Thomas Newman. Both have a way with a simple melody that they can carry throughout a film that sets the mood. Newman’s American Beauty is a perfect score. With Barry, there are so many: Lion in Winter, You Only Live Twice, Out of Africa and Somewhere in Time or a few.
May 2, 20187 yr Ramin Djawadi seems to know what he's doing between Game of Thrones and Westworld, but there's a lot of dreck in his resume, too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramin_Djawadi
May 2, 20187 yr I want the dude that did the soundtrack to The Gods Must Be Crazy or the guy who did Raising Arizona. Edited May 2, 20187 yr by Onboard 2.0
May 2, 20187 yr Sam Spence - music of my childhood. Williams - scored 2 of my all time favorites movies in Jaws & The Poseidon Adventure.
May 2, 20187 yr John Barry for me. I'd be happy with a mashup of the Goldfinger and Thunderball soundtracks.

May 2, 20187 yr I'd use that slow sad Beethoven song over and over. Seems about right. One of the Piano Sonata's i believe.
