Lancelot Standard Userer	I'm not quite sure what the critera are for "Dark" scores (motifs in minor keys?)--but here's a few of what I think may qualify... Fargo, Hamlet - Carter Burwell. Enemy of the State - Trevor Rabin & Harry Gregson-Williams. The Crow - Graeme Revell. The Skulls - Randy Edelman. Unbreakable - James Newton Howard. Before I clicked on the topic, I pondered that the topic was "Dark Action Scores", so I considered scores like the following might be the topic at hand: The Peacemaker - Hans Zimmer. The Shadow - Jerry Goldsmith. Man in the Iron Mask - Nick Glennie-Smith. Hard Rain - Christopher Young. Volcano - Alan Silvestri.

dante Standard Userer	As far as action scores go I quite enjoy Drop Zone and Daylight (guilty pleasures) and dark scores: Sleepy Hollow Darkman (how come I immediately think of Early Elfman when it comes to "dark" scores?)
