Sooda Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 There recent glut of super hero films has got with it some good theme music. Alan Silvestris Avengers theme, and the awesome Captain American March, Giacchinos theme for Dr Strange, I love Caps Promise from Civil War by Henry Jackman, Iron Man 1 and 2 themes (driving with the top down by Ramin Djawadi i think), Thor Dark world theme by Brian Tyler @Gollum Transformers Themes were excellent, agreed. Djawadis theme to Pacific Rim was kick ass too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahulrulezz Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 MITHOON most underrated composer in India is Mithoon. I love each and every song of his. Albums like Anwar (listen to the instruments), Aashiqi, Ek Villian, Hamari Adhuri Kahani, Kabir Singh, Muder 2, it is shocking that no one knows him and puts him the category of A.R. Rahman. He songs are genuine and never inspired. Some of this songs like ‘Woh Lamhe Woh Baatein’, ‘Main Phil bhi tumko chahunga’, ‘Phir Mohobat Karne Chala hai tu’, ‘Maula Mere Maula Mere’ I have played his songs 100 of times on a repeat. And I am not even talking about his albums like Ek Villian, Aashiqi or Kabir Singh. This guy is out of the world. I really hope people appreciate Mithooon. https://youtu.be/tCSXPZ95zeM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Talking about John Barry, he did a nice score for Game of Death too. The film was shot after Bruce Lee's death, utilizing 10-12 mins of the footage he had shot before. The film changed the script and had a double playing Bruce Lee, who comes in the aforementioned final sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maniac Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Probably a very under rated background score but the movie Gravity had a very trippy and amazing back ground score that added to the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) The Spy who loved me , Marvin Hamlisch is pretty good. Listen to this track when Roger Moore goes to the Atlantis Ennio Morricone kind of copied the above track in The Untouchables. Another masterpiece Edited July 9, 2020 by coffee_rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
