Vangelis 1981
Electronic music ace Vangelis won an Oscar by playing against type
for this period drama about British runners training for the 1924
Olympics. Rather than a stately orchestral score, he provided an
atmospheric collection of electronica -- from eerie, spaced out
moments for some of the slo-mo training sequences to the composer's
iconic, often-parodied electronic march theme, which became an
early '80s pop anthem on its own. Oscar winner A.R. Rahman recently
cited this as his favorite score of all time.
