Favorite Music Theme for Feature Film, TV Drama, Documentary etc

[soundmanjohn]

One of my favourite movies ever, and with a terrific  little number from Cat Stevens:

Cat Stevens, brilliant, and of course one of my favorite movies. As many of you already know, my first job ever working on a movie, and in the Art Department! It was my experience working on "Harold and Maude" that made the decision to start a career in movies. I wanted to do something more technical than the Art Department so it was going to be Camera or Sound, and it wasn't going to be Camera. I chose sound and have never regretted it. I'm in my 46th year sound mixing.

 

I will add that although I was working in the Art Department, I did some sound work for the movie, re-doing the sound system in the location projection room and doing the music playback for the scene where Maude performs this song. I was also responsible, to a certain extent, introducing Hal Ashby to Cat Stevens' music and encouraging its use for the score for the movie.

 

I did a little slideshow for the CAS Awards show (we never used it) and it was set to the very same Cat Stevens song.

I will put up the link in another post.

Coming from Gomorra La Serie; a masterpiece TV serie from Italy.

 

 

In my top 5 list with favorite TV series.

[VASI]

What a film! Under the Skin with a fantastic sound design and music overall.

 

Composer: Mica Levi

 

[Graham Kicklighter]

Heres a modern favorite... super ironic considering the show is a dark sci-fi thriller. This kind of theme made it even creepier than something that would have "matched" the show better in genre.

 

[Gerard-NYNY]

[Simon Paine]

lots of great entries.

 

I'll add another. IMHO, one of the best theme songs of any animated TV show. The great drumming, the energizing horn section a little surf style guitar and a flute solo ! Makes me want to find whoever this band is and go catch a live performance.

this one is amazingly effective;

 

One of my all time favorite soundtracks is from the movie Moon, which is one of the most underrated movies ever, and Sam Rockwell should have gotten an Oscar for his performance in this stunning piece of movie making:

[atheisticmystic]

From a very underrated, yet problematic (rape was involved) composer...
