This is a question to everyone. I want to know what you think.
Do you think that certain soundtracks make or break a movie?
Example - Hans Zimmer's music in Gladiator.
Example - Jerry Goldsmith's music in Rudy.
Example - Hans Zimmer's music in Black Hawk Down.
Things of this nature. I've heard many themes from movies over the years, and I believe Hans Zimmer is one of the best out there and every single movie I have watched where his music is involved has turned out to be a good quality movie. Tolerable at worst. I added Rudy in there because they kept showing it to us at high school but the movie was good and the theme song was great.
Opinions!

I recognize it, but I couldn't place. I searched Google high and low but I had no luck what so ever.
I know that it was partially in Halo (no lyrics), I 'believe' (don't hold my word to that).

Re: Soundtracks in Movies
The soundtracks in movies are very important, it can make or break a movie by adding to the emotion, mood and atmosphere of a scene, setting the pace of the action, conveying thoughts and idea's in song that wouldnt work in script, even the become iconic forever linking a piece of music to a movie scene.
Classical & orchestral style scores
Think of StarWars, Superman ( original ), Conan with Carmina Burana building and rising, then exploding into the action, The Ride of the Valkyries as the AirCav go in on Apocalypse Now, 2001, Clockwork Orange etc
Soundtracks written by bands and intended to also sell as separate music
Like Queen did for Flash Gordon and Highlander, and Bon Jovi for Young Guns
Songs used that will forever be linked to the movie
Again Apocalypse Now springs to mind with the Doors 'The End', also People are Strange for The Lost boys ( They actually used the Echo & the Bunnymen version but the Doors was better )
Movies made just for the music
Movies like Purple Rain and The Wall
The sampled bits
My ingame name is the name of an album by Massive Attack, if you listen to them you will surprised how much of their stuff gets used to great effect in movies, everything from the Matrix, to 28 days later, to Sunshine and dozens of others.

Re: Soundtracks in Movies
Another amazing soundtrack that set the mood for me in a movie was the recent Batman movies. I thought the music was done perfectly to fit the mood of the movie, and the scenes.
Certain parts of it are just so amazing.

Re: Soundtracks in Movies
the right soundtrack can indeed make or break, but we do not often go into looking up the soundtracks... The only soundtracks we've looked up outside the movie it is from are the ones from star wars... Particularly imperial march...

In the name of the gods, Browsers shall be changed to carry the internet out amongst the peoples and we will spread Firefox to all the unbelievers. The power of the Firefox will be felt far and wide and the wicked users of IE shall be converted to use the true browsers."

Re: Soundtracks in Movies
The top few that stand out, right there.
Gladiator.
Braveheart.
Black Hawk Down.
Tears of the Sun.
Those four listed are some of the most intense, chilling songs I've heard and I still listen to to this day.

Re: Soundtracks in Movies
Tarantino is very good at picking the right music for the right scene. 'Reservoir Dogs', 'Kill Bill' and 'Inglorious Bastards' being three very good examples.
'Clockwork Orange' is a film where, to me, the music plays an essential role.
“It’s a sin! It’s a sin using Ludvig Van! He only wrote music!”
'The Godfather' has very iconic music, which is heavily associated with the film in a lot of people's minds.
Michael Nyman deserves a mention; all of his scores are excellent, especially 'The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover.'
Patrick Doyle's score for 'Needful Things.'
Philip Glass' score for 'Candyman' was fantastic - not generally a fan of horror movies, but I eat up their soundtracks. Same with 'Psycho' and the 'Halloween' series.
Music was used to great effect in Watchmen - although the film was crap overall.
Also, V for Vendetta, another Alan Moore adaption, had a fantastic use of the 1812 Overture.

Totally agree, Tarantino has a tallant for finding obscure tracks that no one else would use, tracks not even very good purely as music but work perfectly when matched to the scenes he puts them in.

Re: Soundtracks in Movies
I just wanna interject, to talk about Inglorious Bastards... that music might have been well chosen (I don't remember) but that was literally the worst movie I have ever seen, ever. Of every movie I have ever seen, that was the worst.
No, wait! The Men Who Stare at Goats was worse! I couldn't even finish that movie, only one ever... Inglorious Bastards is 2nd worst. Wow it was bad.
Anyways, Tarantino is good in his other actually good movies though. Hans Zimmer is also a god.
