Stuff by Danny Elfman (of Oingo Boingo fame) is usually top notch. He does a lot of soundtracks for so-called "B" movies (like Beatlejuice).

Would you really classify Beetlejuice as B? Judging from the cast alone, they must have had a decent budget. Agreed about Elfman though. Most of the stuff which really inspires me comes from old 30's to 60's B movies. Universal monster movies, the classic Roger Corman movies w/ Vincent Price. Speaking of which... The music for Dr. Phibes would probably rank high on my list - not good, just so disturbing. Music for italian movies such as Black Sunday and Black Sabbath. Great stuff...

Harry Manfredini's soundtrack for Friday the 13th. Of course, it owes a lot to Psycho, but then, Psycho couldn't really be considered B.
Would the Omen work? That's an all-time classic by Goldsmith.

I've attempted (many a time) to get near the forbidden zone.
Can't tell you thing about it.

Hi, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zachariah_(film) And then the opening of Werner Herzog's "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" with Popol Vuh's piece on it. Journey of Hope (won the Oscar for Foreign Film that year). Opening music by Jan Garbarek from Eventyr. Song was "Soria Maria" ... and later on there was some Terje Rypdal/David Darling music from EOS as well. And for my worst B-movie of all time? ... Clockwork Orange!

Not the oddest movie I have ever seen, but in the top 10.

A fair point. I'll clarify this a little, it was meant to be a B movie! The cast all thought is was great fun (same thing happened with Mars Attacks).

We're definitely fans of both Burton and Elfman here. I have yet to hear/see it, but Elfman wrote the music for one of the current Cirque du Soleil show (Iris). I'd be very curious to see that one. But they're in L.A.
