ive found that usually anybody with a general interest in classical music (of any period) would share the same sentiment.
there are definitely some great film scores out there, but strangely, i find that already composed pieces can work the best (2001 is the most obvious example, and penderecki's threnody... in children of men is another favourite).

I can agree, but I also think there are definite examples of where film scoring is perfectly appropriate, more so in fact.

yeah true, it all comes down to context i guess. soundtrack choices are a whole other thing, too.

I should probably listen to this.
I really like Michael Nyman.

Those were two unrelated sentences btw.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever listened to the music from old (mainly 1930-40's) USSR films? It was written specifically for the movies by composers like Shostakovitch, Prokofiev, and Schnittke, since film music was pretty much the only way composers could make enough money to survive back then.
Check this out, it's part of Prokofiev's score to Ivan the Terrible:

@vanderbob ive seen a couple of clips of shostakovichs work, because we covered him for a 'music in society' class last year. havent seen much of that sort of thing, but its very interesting to see what they come up with. the prokofiev vid sounds great.

it wasn't just in the USSR either -- the general practice was that film composers were "legitimate real composers" awful term I know, but you get the picture. Korngold, Barber (and no I don't just mean Platoon) and Walton are all examples of classical composers who have won (or been nominated) for Oscars
