Directors who scrore their own work...
 
I just finished watching the second Halloween....besides Carpenter, are there any other directors that score their own films?

Robert Rodriguez
Clint Eastwood

The only two that come immediately to mind for me.

John Ottman is a composer (The Usual Suspects) who scored his own directoral debut (Urban Legends: Final Cut).

Legolas 11-20-05 03:12 AM

Woody Allen also scored one of his own films a long time ago (Sleeper).

Fincher Fan 11-20-05 03:23 AM

Rob Zombie scored and directed House of 1000 Corpses.
Anthony Hopkins scored and directed August.

Mike Figgis, I think.

What a classic!

But anyhow, I have a lot of respect for a director who scores his own work. Shows a pretty wide range of talent.

I'm pretty sure Clint Mansell did the music for both of his films.

That's what I thought too.

Ha! He attempted to delete it, but it's forever enshrined in the quote of another.

Oh, and Groucho...you were beat to Charlie.

And also, save money on production as well, without essentially employing another composer to score the film.

Imagine how heartbroken I was to find out that <b>Groucho</b> has me on ignore. :(

The Bus 11-21-05 07:54 AM

Alejandro Amenabar did the score for The Others. Eastwood came to mind first though.

Rockmjd23 11-21-05 08:34 AM

Mike Figgis is first who came to mind. Also Prince (Under the Cherry Moon, Graffiti Bridge)

obscurelabel 11-21-05 09:18 AM

It doesn't really qualify as scoring, I suppose, but Mel Brooks has written songs for many of the movies he has directed.

Your forgot the best one: Purple Rain. I wouldn't considered these as movie scores, but as various individual songs being played at random in a movie.

A traditional film score are original orchestrated compositions, of instrumental cues that are inserted, played in the background, which enhances, and corresponded with the activity, or the character's mood being portrayed during a particular scene.
