Who can forget Bryan Adams' unforgettable song "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" from the 1991 American action film, "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves"? That combined with incredible performances and a great score by Michael Kamen made this film a massive box office success, and in fact, was the s...

There is nothing more iconic than Kevin Bacon's journey to overturn a ban on dancing instituted by the efforts of a local minister, especially using Kenny Loggins' iconic tune 'Footloose' to do it. The track itself hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and received 1985 Academy Award nominations for...

There is no question that 'American Psycho' is controversial for a variety of reasons, however the music is what we are most interested in. While the regular soundtrack features a variety of hits from artists like David Bowie, The Cure, and New Order, and Huey Lewis and the News, John Cale's subt...

Enjoy this score cue from Phillip Noyce's 1994 political action-thriller, Clear and Present Danger. We absolutely love Horner's work on the Jack Ryan series, and it is truly great that an expanded two-disc collector's edition was released in 2013 by Intrada (which is now very difficult to find!)....

The 1994 biographical film about the life of composer Ludwig van Beethoven (played by Gary Oldman) is one of our favorites.

Alan Silvestri, who composed the score for 'The Avengers', returned to score both 'Infinity War' and its sequel.

There is little doubt that James Horner's music to the 1989 film 'Glory' is one of the best scores he ever composed. Featuring the Boys Choir of Harlem, Glory tells the tragic story of the first black regiment (the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment) in America during the Civil War. The soundtr...

We figured it would be a great follow-up to the previous Score Cue Snapshot by featuring Patty Jenkins' next superhero project, 'Wonder Woman 1984'. This time, the film was scored by Academy-Award winning composer, Hans Zimmer and features three (!) cues from the score release. It is our longest ...

There is no question that Patty Jenkins' 'Wonder Woman' is considered to be one of the best superhero films to-date. One brilliant aspect of the movie is the score composed by Rupert Gregson-Williams, and this scene is one of his most poignant. Upon arriving at the front in Belgium, Diana goes al...

Who can forget the Pink Panther theme by Henry Mancini? Back in 1964, the soundtrack peaked at No. 8 and remained on the charts for 41 weeks.

Different from the previous episode, this one focuses on a beautiful and tender moment between Ben and Rey, after Ben uses the Force to revive her at the cost of his own life.

This scene in particular comes at the end of the film, when the famous B-17 is on its way back to home base with without the ability to lower its wheels. The only way the...

Thomas Newman, again, is the master of sound and color. He is able to uniquely express moments within a scene, or within characters, that are completely invisible yet so poignant and emotional. '1917' is a masterpiece on a variety of levels, and Newman's score is truly an experience to behold.

T...

Some consider this to be one of the best Jerry Goldsmith scores to-date. Interestingly, Goldsmith had limited time to compose the score with only three and a half days to record the entire thing.
