quote [ Composed by James Horner, the music in Sneakers is hauntingly beautiful and written in a sophisticated and understated manner. But part of what makes the score special is that it doesn?t necessarily sound like what you?d expect for a film in the ?computer-hacking / spy-game? genre. ]
I watched Sneakers again for the first time in years, and I was struck by the quality of the score. I am not alone.

I've been meaning to rewatch this movie for that express purpose. I'm working on doing an audiodrama for a noir/thriller that I've been writing as a serial, and the soundtrack really inspires the right mood for it. The little bit of music I wrote for my audiodrama is just a jazzy intro and outtro, since it's set in a fairly typical detective noir setting, so not much like this. But then again, I'm no James Horner, so I'm working with the skillset I've got. :)

In contrast, I have to say most of Silence of the Lambs's score doesn't hold up. Parts of it stick out as badly as Goblin's work in the original Dawn of the Dead, or the proto- electronica in Ladyhawke.
+1 Nostalgic, though. I haven't seen Sneakers since it first came out. |

The Ladyhawke soundtrack is horrible as a soundtrack, but it's pretty fun to listen to on its own if you have a high enough tolerance for 80s cheese.

I love that this was also heavily relied on in Mortal Kombat. Orbital, I miss you.

Sneakers has always been my favorite "computer" movie. I never really thought about the sound track.
