Here’s a link to an interesting story about Thom Yorke’s foray into scoring for film. Let me know what you think…
Yorke’s exact role in the project is unclear, but the film’s website lists him as a “composer,” suggesting that his contributions may be more akin to a film score than the usual four-minute rock song:

Flash Gordon Music Video
Couldn’t resist this piece of nostalgia…
A music video of one of the cheesiest movies ever. High camp meets sci-fi and results in Brian Blessed wearing hot pants and gold wings.
And… a fantastic soundtrack from Queen.
Wonderful stuff!
Top 30 Saddest Movie Soundtracks (part 1)
Top 30 saddest and best movie soundtracks, in my opinion. It’s not intended to please everybody. Your list may differ, of course… But let’s respect all opinions ; )
The soundtracks: 1. Armageddon “Armageddon Theme” by Trevor Rabin 2. Braveheart “Braveheart Theme” by James Horner 3. Dying Young “I’ll Never Leave You” by Kenny G 4. Edward Scissorhands “Edward Scissorhands Theme” by Danny Elfman 5. Empire of the Sun “Cadillac of the Skies” by John Williams 6. Forrest Gump “Forrest Gump Theme” by Alan Silvestri… and more
Took me quite a while to get into the film and its soundtrack – but in the end, I enjoyed the music and the story.
Any thoughts about the music? Does it deserve all the acclaim?
I found it slightly too diverse and wanted something a bit more cohesive. Having said that, I did enjoy many of the tracks and can see this working well as an album…
