Lady In the Water --- Just... I dunno. It used to be one of those "Yeah, I know the opening and that's about it" scores for me, then I listened to the whole thing through. By far in my Top 5 Scores list. Absolutely beautiful in every respect.
Every respect.
The Village --- Beautiful violin work; a downright shame it didn't win for Best Score that year. Far better than "Finding Neverland" (though that was also pretty good). What's ironic is I don't even own the score or have it downloaded in any form. I'm thinking about getting the complete score promo soon.
Unbreakable --- Intriguing. Very intriguing.
Just above "Signs". One of the best "hero" themes I've heard from a film of this genre.
Signs --- This would be above "Unbreakable" on my list if the other cues were a little more than they are. The opening and closing music is fantastic, but everything else just isn't that interesting to me on its own. Nevertheless, very captivating when it gets loud.
The Sixth Sense --- Never really noticed the themes and cues until about a year ago. Nice, but not (IMO) worthy of buying the soundtrack for. Perfect for the film, not the ears alone, except when the soft themes are played.
The Happening --- Right now, this is on the bottom of my list since I never really payed much attention to the score when I watched the movie. I've only seen it once, and I usually listen carefully to the score of any film at first viewing (I'm a soundtrack collector), but with this I was just trying to see what made the movie "so bad" to others. It really wasn't that bad. It certainly wasn't my favorite Shyamalan film, but it kept me entertained, at least, and that's a movie's primary purpose. Next time I see it I'll be listening more closely.
