For me the music that still makes my hair stand on end and rather sad is the music from The Fellowship of the Ring. It's the scene where Merry and Pippin are taken by the Orcs and Boromir is killed by Lurtz. The vocals specifically where Boromir is being shot with arrows I think is very powerful. I'll try and grab a clip of it.


Here is one I just made awesome music

Hmm... its somewhat different from the version I remember...


Original version:

Again, the cutting out of the music is quite haunting, you know whats going to happen, you just know it, then the arrow flies and you know its all done. The funeral style haunting music just goes to bolster the bravery with which he carries on fighting despite the mortal wound.

The track 'The Bridge of Khazad-Dûm' is my favourite. Starts and finishes with the really rousing main theme and has the drums and chanting in the middle. The track starts in the film at the part where Gandalf says "To the Bridge of Khazad-Dûm" and just fits perfectly with everything that happens after that. Genius.

Also, 'Can't Even Tell' by Soul Asylum at the end of Clerks. Warms my heart whenever I hear the track now.

Aye that music does sound a little different

Without the video you don't get the sense of sacrifice but listening to the soundtrack you definitely get an intense sense of sorrow. Watching that clip almost made me want to cry

Infact I'm actually watching the Fellowship now which was a boxset Kitten bought for me at Christmas

Best of the three IMO. I could watch the mines of Moria section over and over again. I still get a feeling of dread when the bucket goes down the well and the drum hits for the first time.

Aye just finished the 1st film now and will watch the next 2 at some point over the holiday. I never really got on with the 3rd film to be honest, perhaps watching the extended version I'll come to like it.

The addition of the mouth of Sauron makes it better - awesome bit!

Pretty much all of the music in Babylon 5. Its been 6 years and I still cannot listen to the music from the finale episode, Sleeping in Light. Its so perfect. It captures the entire episode so well that I just can't listen to it. Pretty much anything by Hans Zimmer. He seems to be able to put a movie's essence into music. The Rock, Pirates 2 + 3, MI:2, Last Samurai, Gladiator, etc.

I've found John Williams stuff has gone a bit samey recently. When watching Star Wars I'm reminded of Harry Potter and Jurassic Park, which shouldn't happen imho. Jaws, Superman, "Welcome to Jurassic Park", Duel of the Fates.

Matrix 1, Spybreak. Serenity - Love, just as Serenity leaves atmo. BTTF - It's been real educational. The bit where Doc's running around trying to fix the cable, the car doesn't start, the lighting is going off. Brilliant stuff. I could go on for ages, I'm a sndtrack nut. I've got about 200 of them.
