I don't know if any of you pay much attention to the musical scores in movies or not, but if any of you do then you should really just listen to or download some music from Thomas Newman...it is really good. I was surprised to learn how many movies he's actually done the score for; I thought that "American Beauty" was the first one, but there are a whole crapload. Here is a list:

Reckless
Desperately Seeking Susan
Girls Just Want to have Fun
Jumpin' Jack Flash
The Lost Boys
The Great Outdoors
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe
Scent of a Woman
The Player
The Shawshank Redemption
Little Women
Unstrung Heroes
Up Close and Personal
The People vs. Larry Flynt
Phenomenon
The Horse Whisperer
The Green Mile
Meet Joe Black
American Beauty
Erin Brockovich
The Road to Perdition
Finding Nemo


Anyone familiar with Newman's work, or know of any other good music for movies? (Danny Elfman is another.)

Elfman + Groening = Genius!
I'm going to be really lame and boring and say Ennio Morricone.

Check out the score for the film of Class of 1984. Cheesily intense 80s music for a cheesily intense film.

Kenyon Hopkins has some groovy soundtracks.

I always liked the Terminator score, but I couldn't tell you why.
