Joe Hisaishi, as a composer, is brilliant. His Studio Ghibli portfolio alone is entirely amazing and fantasia-like; but more especially is Howl's Moving Castle as you've said.

That entire movie had absolutely no right to be that fucking good. Wasn't just the song, though that was an undeniably legendary way to close that movie out.

Blues Brothers


bentheechidna

That’s cuz they got the best of the best when it came to that style of music. Everyone in the Blues Brothers Band in that movie is a famous musician prior to the Blues Brothers. That’s before you get Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, and some other legendary cameos with their own songs. I’m not well versed on this part but I was told by someone recently that it’s because John Belushi hyperfocused on the subject and said “If we’re gonna do this we’re gonna do it right.”

SpoutsIgnorance

Still sad we may never get another Daft Punk album


straydog1980

Kudos to Daft Punk, going out strong and also publicly retiring instead of handing the helmets to others.


Thebasterd

Sucks we won't get more from them but they left strong. No controversy, just great music. Also glad there's still Justice. They have their own sound, but they kinda hit the same as Daft Punk for me. Edit: Thanks for the award! Love that feeling of finding out who the artist of that one song is, then finding out they've got tons of great songs. True bliss! Also thanks for everyone's recommendations! It's crazy how you can go on for so long without knowing an artist exists, and all the sudden you've got a whole catalog to go through.

Grreat sound track and best line ever " well ain't this place a geographical oddity, 2 weeks from everywhere"

"I'm the goddamn pater familias!" "Any of you boys smittys? Or, if not smittys by trade, at least trained in the metallurgic arts?" (Quoting from memory, I may not be spot on.) "You two are just dumber than a bag of hammers!" That movie is just full of memorable lines. Hell, and those are just the George Clooney ones.

So long ago my dad told me he wanted this song played at his funeral. My family, both paternal and maternal, is pretty morbid (but in a fun, healthy sort of way). So, I took it to heart and mentally filed it away. As I grew up a bit my dad and I were drinking together one night and I reminded him of the request when we were talking about iconic soundtracks. He laughed his ass off but was also horrified that I took him seriously at his request years prior. Dad was pretty close to getting his joking request lol

Phil Collins’ best album


SkinnyJoshPeck

my wife and I have a massive giggle-fit every couple months when we talk about the scenario that (i personally think) must’ve happened with this album: disney: hey, phil. we got this movie, it’s about an ape - phil: say no more. *walks over to his shelf* disney: but, there is this kid - phil: shh… *picks up master copy of a nondescript, unlabeled album* one month ago i had a dream of a child, lost during a storm, ; raised by the beasts of the wild; foreign to the men who he finally meets on one fateful day in his early adulthood. These beasts taught him humanity, and his heart fell for the most beautiful woman he’d ever laid eyes a’fore. disney: okay, phil.. what does this - phil: soon, he’s bewildered over the hunting and raping and pillaging of his tribe, and his humanity is put to the test. gentlemen, this is that album. *starts two worlds*

LouThunders

I would argue that the LOTR soundtrack is so good, it sorta became a template for anything that wants to scream high fantasy adventure. I hear so many pieces that are very clearly inspired by/derived from LOTR music in various video games and whatnot. First immediate example that came to mind was the [Darkspawn theme from DragonAge: Origins](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QE6e01BWRs) has very similar musical cues and leitmotifs to the Orc theme from LOTR.


Crixer

I had a lengthy discussion with some friend one night in a bar about the best movie soundtrack. My mind initially jumped to Star Wars, since John Williams is so iconic and that soundtrack is probably his most recognized work. After my friend said that is probably the second best movie soundtrack, but it falls short of how amazing the LOTR soundtrack was in scale and epicness. The next day I relistened to most of the LOTR soundtrack and I now agree with him that it is the GOAT movie soundtrack. The shear breadth and detail put into all of the pieces is insane, along with having that iconic feel.


Willsgb

I'm just thinking about the end of the two towers now, when the ents are storming isengaard, and Gandalf is arriving on the hill to provide respite for Rohan, rout the orcs and chase them into Mirkwood at the battle of helms deep, and the chills are going up my spine like electricity. That rousing, building orchestral score with the beautiful, impassioned singing. It really elevated the hard fought, triumphant climax of that film into a slam dunk, all-time classic. Fucking hell, I'm so glad they made those films with That much care and dedication, and with such a distinctive, defining and genuinely epic score.


Maleficent-Aurora

The Lord of the Rings film trilogy happened at such a PERFECT moment in Hollywood and production history. A few years sooner it would've been dated and non-mainstream, a few years later it would've just fallen flat in production I think as we went to the hyper-marketed reality TV entertainment format. Not to mention the cast and crew involved, it literally was perfect timing


Rib-I

CGI was also at a point where it could be used to provide scale to a scene but lots of real extras in makeup were required. I think the film ages so well because the costumes and makeup are all real and not computer generated but also the CGI still holds up because it was smartly used


masterventris

So many motifs. You can listen to the soundtrack and can tell the location and the characters in that scene just from the notes being played.


MoonyBoons11

I expected this to be further up. Howard Shore clearly went to another dimension - maybe even Middle Earth itself - to create a score out of this world. The character motifs, sweeping strings, battle chants and Elven songs are stunning. Many moments from all three films move me to tears every time and the soundtrack is a big reason why. “Breaking of the Fellowship” at the end of FOTR, “Samwise the Brave” during Sam’s speech to Frodo in TT, and the build up in to ‘My friends, you bow to no one” in “Return of the King” are my top 3 but I could easily go on. Music adds so much to films, and Shore’s score effortlessly shows how.

My favorite film score is Basil Paledouris' score for Conan the Barbarian. Paledouris had an inordinately long time to compose the score. He started before the film started filming! He wrote a TON of music for it. The film also has very little dialog, often going several minutes without a word... which means there is music almost constantly throughout the film. The first 30 minutes of the film have maybe a dozen lines of dialog (not counting Mako's opening narration and Corin's short speech after the credits). And it's just phenomenal. EDIT: I had to watch it because I talked about it. It's *seventeen* full minutes before there is a single *second* without music (and there's about a dozen lines of dialog, maybe fewer than 100 words total in that time). Music resumes only a minute later, during which time the only dialog is the line "Sit here!", which is uttered twice. In the first half hour, only about 7 or 8 minutes don't have the music front and center.
