I have noticed that most modern day movies don't have background scores like they used to. It was a big trend in the 80's. I kind of miss it, it gives the movie a more dramatic feel to it. Thoughts?

I feel like I've noticed plenty of dramatic, orchestral scores in movies recently.
It does seem that soundtracks have usurped a lot of the role that scores used to play, though.

Yeah, that's kind of what I meant. Less scores, more soundtrack music or songs that is not an original score??Originally posted by Slowhand View PostI feel like I've noticed plenty of dramatic, orchestral scores in movies recently.

Yeah I get what you mean. I think it's really dependent on the film/genre. Hell, the Graduate was one long Simon and Garfunkel album. John Hughes' films were mostly soundtracks. A drama or non-cheeseball action film, for instance, is far more likely to have a score than a comedy or such. The Dark Night trilogy comes to mind of recent stuff that's mostly score.Originally posted by Trip McNeely View PostComment

Yeah, I feel like if it's a series it's probably more apt to have an original score to it as well. Alan Silverstri comes to mind when I think of great movie score composers.Originally posted by Slowhand View PostComment
