You gotta see ladyhawk. It's quite good. But I'm biased - it's my mother's favorite movie and I watched more than a few times as a kid.

Seconded, Ladyhawke forever!
And in that vein some more electronic fantasy movie music
Also (and how did I forget?), Klaus Doldinger.
I agree. I was referring to the song. Everyone remembers "Zero to Hero," but in my opinion, Meg's song is the best from that flick, and the best I'd heard in a movie in a long time.
I often present Ladyhawke as one of the quintessential "Fantasy" movies, just like I present Dark City as a quintessential "50's Sci-Fi" movie.

Disgusting; you'd actually post the Tangerine Dream-scored atrocity cut as opposed to the excellent Jerry Goldsmith Director's Cut.
I want to dislike this post with Charlie's anteater tongue.
With music, not synth:
Like it or not (and I don't like it myself!), I posted it because of the synthesized music.
Here's some more love for Jerry Goldsmith, one of the Great Old Ones.
Oh. I jumped to conclusions because I hate that score so much.
Jerry Goldsmith was amazing.

No offense taken, no problem.
And just because this has to do with with film/tv show and music in some way and because today would have been the 75th birthday of another great genius who got honored with a google doodle today...
I don't know if it fits the motto of the thread, but it has shaped part of my life.
You know, I've been racking my brain for awhile on this. We all grew up on these amazing film scores, some that we can't get out of our heads (and why would we? They're awesome).
But I've been trying to think: have there been many music compositions in the last couple of years that were new and as memorable as the ones we've been posting? I can't honestly think of many.
I suppose there's this:
And this:
But those were TV show credit themes, not full on scores we'd hear during the show itself.

Oh, there are much better themes, I agree. And yeah, the Angel theme was badass.
All I can think of is Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings score. But even that was 8 years ago now... holy crap has it been that long?
Wasn't it Joss Whedon's band just making things up on the fly?
Yeah, I'd think LotR might be the last memorable score we've had in awhile. Although, I have to admit that some of Steve Jablowski's work on the the Transformers movies was pretty damn good. Solid, but nothing really memorable.
I have no idea, I'm just saying what it always sounded like to me.
There has been great movie music of recent.
An in-fucking-credible movie music.
