Has film music lost its magic? I can't think of a memorable film score of recent years. Have composers run out of idea or did all the good ones die?

Directors and producers tell the composers to copy the temp music as much as possible.
Matthew Rodriguez
Why not five the freedom to the composer?
James James
I think it's probably that they're given less and less time to compose properly. So most of them rehash old themes, like Zimmer whose most tracks in a film are variations on the same themes. Doesn't mean they're bad soundtracks but they often sound way too similar.
David White
This. Film scoring, like every part of the industry, is completely cookie cutter now.
This is a really good video. I don't know what Sup Forums thinks of this channel, I've never actually watched any of their other videos, but I think this video is good.

Forgot link, I'm stupid.

Thomas Newman doesn't score enough films.
Lincoln Miller
>corporate movie assembling line
>freedom
lmao look at this bozo
Michael Allen
Does that mean James Horner crashed the plane himself because he had enough of actual music, or did Zimmer hack the plane?
Daniel Howard
>Newman has been nominated for fourteen Academy Awards
well fuck me
Carter Barnes
He had run out of ideas long before the crash. Avatar pretty much sounds like Mighty Joe Young from OP.
Brayden Barnes
the only recent ones I could remember was Fury Road, Neon Demon and BvS and that's pushing
Landon Wood
Interstellar?
Jose Clark
you probably remembering music from fury road because you heard it in few other movies xD

I can't think of anything good to come out of the Marvel universe. Iron Man had a good theme. That was about it. Spider-Man by Elfman long before Marvel went to shit had a memorable theme used throughout the trilogy.

>I just watched le every frame le painting video
I can distinctively remember at least 4 tracks from fury road so go fuck yourself and your reddit channel

Drive has a great soundtrack, somehow I watched a rip where it credits Angelo Badalamenti as the composer and I believe it until I read the credit list on IMDb saying Cliff MartÃnez.
Sad Cliff didn't pull out nothing else decent after it.
Jayden Wilson
He did Only God Forgives which has an amazing OST
Noah Jones
>tfw goosebumps hearing this
Ian Thompson
I don't know if it's recent enough but the soundtrack to Moon (2009) is pretty good tier if you ask me.

One theory is that all the great modern themes were jacked from old classical stock archives. Star Wars etc supposedly came from these sources.
Generic Orchestral Farfare #5678
Generic March #95464
That sort of thing.
The problem was, that after Star Wars got big, and Williams was the king, everyone cottoned on raided those archives until nothing was left. Which is why you occasionally hear really amazing themes on shitty Roger Corman movies from back in the day.
Caleb Richardson
The soundtrack in Prometheus struck me as memorable, though wasted on a clusterfuck of a film

Compare this to Zimmer's OST, which is still decent, but didn't feel like Batman at all and sounded similar to everything else Zimmer has done.
Angel Thomas
The old films were partly comedy and lighthearted. Nolan's series was serious and so Zimmer made an appropriate score. Actually a very decent score to the first one.
Hudson Jones
I enjoyed Zimmer's scores, and still do, but they just didn't feel like Batman to me at all. I still regularly listen to the original movie's soundtrack because it's so good and iconic, can't say that I've listened to Zimmer's tracks again anytime in the past few years though.
Each of Nolan's movies had good music though, specifically these pieces:

Jablonsky is a pretty good, underrated composer. His Transformer score is actually pretty damn good too, never listened to any of the music for the sequels though, don't even know if he composed them.
Justin Gray
Sicario's OST is pretty good in my opinion guys.

Brody Nguyen
Heard them all. Only the first is good. Rest were shit. He did Gears of War 2 also.
Camden Brown
Hell yes.
Nolan Green
Rush and Interstellar were good but I agree that Zimmer seems to rehash his stuff for the most part.
Oliver Sanders
Zimmer 's best.
Jacob Hall

Literally made the film 10 times more intense. The whole rush into Mexico without music would be a complete waste.
Landon Williams
>no one's mentioned Oneohtrix Point Never's spectacular score for Good Time
Y'all motherfuckers need to get with it.

How much of the blame could be put on the director as opposed to the composer? As in if the director does not know how to properly use music to enhance the scene then he probably doesn't care enough to get a good composer to provide a good score and just requires something generic and cookie cutter. So if we want more great scores is the issue with the composers or trying to encourage better directors who know how to use music?

when people say soundtrack instead of score it makes me legitimately angry holy shit
William Edwards
It Follows is like the new Halloween soundtrack wise. The score made that film.
