I've seen some of the videos of the music artists that you all like, so i thought i'll add a few artist and composers of films i like too and hopefully you'll like them too.
Danny Elfman is i think a good composer working in hollywood, distictive and regonisable, he done alot of work, especially with tim burton, One of my Fave is Big fish, check out the track "finale" if you can. anyway this one is from Spiderman which he did.
Another film he did, tried to find big fish but ahh well ,Edward sissorhands will have to do.
John Williams You'll know him. one of the most regonisable Composer in Hollywood, and You'll know this theme, they got rid of the main one on youtube but this one's good
This is a really good track from a great film, Jaws, like neil was talking about, a regonisable theme for a character or object, favorite part 1:45 onwards
Thomas Newman another composer, this song is outstanding and when im down, it makes me happy, Like the film, which is itself of journey.
Another Good one is Road to perdition, check out some other films he dones, there quite a few, i chose this one, Wall-e it also deals with a journey, and is quite deffierent in timbre and instuments but regonisable at same time
Another song you'll know is this by Polish Composer Wojciech Kilar.
A really Great Song from Truman Show that i'v been looking for ages is Father Klobes preaching, not sure who it's by i think maybe Burkhard Dallwitz & Philip Glass based on the saint Father Maximillian Klobe
Check out other Philip Glass too, he's a minimalist composer who did Pruit igore, that really come out now as a popular song and on of my faves, this song i had to put of, outstanding, very very good, Philip Glass for Paul Schrader's (Who Wrote a few Martin Scorsese's films) film Mishima life in four chapter, which look like an interesting film, might look it up in the libary haha
The Master Ennio Morricone
The Mission trailer

Can't find the scene which is annoying but the song is good.
"the good, the bad and the ugly" by sergio leone, Brillient film, brillient camerawork, and music of course, on a note, Sergio leone's, spaghetti western were often done very cheaply with the use of storytelling, Camerawork, and music, actors, talent all coming together to make a good film.
Mark Mothersbaugh "A maverick renagade" or not, but makes some intersting songs, from the band called "devo", he also composed the music for the sims video game.
Okay now, Im getting tired, but there more to go and talk about, Just a quick mention of pop music used in films,Quintin Tarantino make good use of music to put with his films, even going so far as to write a scene around a particualar song, Another Filmaker who uses pop music for alot of his films is Cameron Crowe, who was a music journalist before going into filmaking.
From tarnatino death proof, i did'nt like the film, although the soundtrack is good, this song i like alot
From Resoviour Dogs, really good intro, alot of times i leave cafes i think of this song.
Cameron Crowes Almost famous is also an interesting film to check out for music and story mixed.
The Clips a bit like "the apartment" made by Billy Wilder, who i think is Cameron Crowes favorite director or film.
And finally for tonight, is the artists, Some clips or use of sound and how they've inventivly used it, in a films
Godard, Bande A part, an ealry film from his work, It sound like the ambience is competing with the Characters, but look for narration, the dance, how the music cuts out etc, Use of levels, Tarantino was influence by this in pulp fiction, but it's an interesting film to look at.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JH3O4HSs7g , in some of truffaut films, im sure the characters start singing randomly, or maybe just jules et jim
Raging film, a bare film about a man's Emotions
Remember this
Anyway i've look through enough videos, hope you though there okay, i think i'll make this into a playlist, and will post agian soon
Now back to work pirates!!!
