Awesome music in the ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' franchise.



* With ''Alien: Covenant'', Jed Kurzel paid some really great homage to the late Jerry Goldsmith with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRbPy1tpOP8 "The Covenant"]]and the romantic-sounding [[https://youtu.be/cfpETeCbcEE "Planet 4/Main Theme"]].

In what way is this being negative about the film? Saying the soundtrack is the best part of the film doesn't necessarily imply the rest of the film is bad.

* For all of its faults, ''Prometheus'' has some really strong music in it. If there was ever a piece of music that perfectly represents the sheer awe and majesty of creation, then Harry Gregson Williams' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzI3AdpA9e4 "Life"]] is it. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x83SXBc1sV0 "Earth"]] could count as well. The film's other prominent theme composed by Marc Streitenfeld, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhlHqANcKjU "A Planet",]] is also very mysterious, melancholic, and beautiful at the same time.
