robthehand 3 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'll change the composer about once a week, I think. Goldsmith is first. Just a simple survey - you can have 1-2 answers per question, if that makes it any easier. Here goes. What is your favourite....Jerry Goldsmith score:Jerry Goldsmith theme:Jerry Goldsmith cue/track:Jerry Goldsmith album:Film scored by Jerry Goldsmith:----------My choices:Jerry Goldsmith score: LegendJerry Goldsmith theme: SupergirlJerry Goldsmith cue/track: "The Hunt" (The Final Conflict)Jerry Goldsmith album: Jerry Goldsmith at 20th Century FoxFilm scored by Jerry Goldsmith: Chinatown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy (Tryouts theme)? Wind and The Lion? 'Kick The Can'? Jerry Goldsmith cue/track: Radek's Death (Air Force One) (Picking second place would be impossible for me, but this is my clear favorite).Jerry Goldsmith album: In general, Under Fire, or Total Recall. Right now, it's Fierce Creatures.Film scored by Jerry Goldsmith: Patton or L.A. Confidential? I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Album: album schmalbum, his complete scores are the best You must not have heard enough.....His complete scores are sometimes the best, often they're ridiculesly redundant. Some of his very best album are no longer than 50 minutes, and hardly complete at that. Morlock- who entirly agrees with Goldsmith abount not wanting every ounce of his music to be released.

There are quite a few cases where I prefer the tighter pace of the original albums. I noticed someone on FSM - I forgot his name - who seems to be against any expanded re-release, whatever the score, and that seems a bit bizarre to me, though.

Danielle 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Jerry Goldsmith score: Star Trek: The Motion PictureJerry Goldsmith theme: The Second Coming theme from Final Conflict, Jack's theme from LegendJerry Goldsmith cue/track: "The Dress Waltz" from Legend, "Dancing Shots" from King Solomon's Mines... and one more, I can't leave out "Flying Ballet" from Supergirl. Damn, there's "The Enterprise" from Trek: TMP too... too many to choose from...Jerry Goldsmith album: Poltergeist (Rhino release), Total Recall (Original release - I love the deluxe edition too, but the OST has intelligent sequencing and a great pace to it that's not quite captured on the deluxe)Film scored by Jerry Goldsmith: L.A. ConfidentialI think the rediscovery factor with Goldsmith is pretty huge, so these can only really reflect how I'm feeling about his music right now. In a month's time, the answers would probably be mostly different.You must not have heard enough.....His complete scores are sometimes the best, often they're ridiculesly redundant. Some of his very best album are no longer than 50 minutes, and hardly complete at that. Morlock- who entirly agrees with Goldsmith abount not wanting every ounce of his music to be released.Though I don't agree with limiting the release of music, I can definitely appreciate your point about albums often being better. I listened to the complete First Knight yesterday, and the album today. Even though the album makes no mention of a major theme (Lancelot's Theme), it's still a far better and more enjoyable listening experience at 40 minutes than the complete score is at almost 80.

Ollie 1,059 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 In regards to complete scores I've always said I'd rather have more than less. Give me the complete score and as the listener I'll trim the fat myself. I'd rather hit the skip button than lament the fact that certain cues are missing.I'm not the type where I have to make all these adjustments to CDs once I get them. I don't care if it's in film order or cues are combined etc etc just as long as I get the complete cue and not all hacked up, ala TPM UE. Wow, there is so much great music by Goldsmith it's hard to choose and I'm leaving out so many good scores but off the top of my head:Jerry Goldsmith score: Total Recall Deluxe Edition / Blue Max Jerry Goldsmith theme: Star Trek Jerry Goldsmith cue/track: The Enterprise / The Artist Who Did Not Want To Paint / The Hunt (POTA)Jerry Goldsmith album: Night Crossing / Goldsmith At 20th Century FoxFilm scored by Jerry Goldsmith: Patton / Innerspace / Poltergeist / Hoosiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 My Goldsmith experience isn't as extensive as it should be either, pretty much Trek and a few other things. I'm working on it, but here's where I am right now:Jerry Goldsmith score: Star Trek: The Motion PictureJerry Goldsmith theme: TMP Main Theme, Klingon ThemeJerry Goldsmith cue/track: The Enterprise- TMPJerry Goldsmith album: Eh, I'm a complete score nut tooFilm scored by Jerry Goldsmith: Patton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morn 8 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Jerry Goldsmith score: Patton Listen to a track like German Advance, such strong melodic content with crazy original brass, the echo machine, this score is not only strong in melodic material but is very innovative and follows the ideal in my signature. Further more it is extremely intelligent with the symbolism and description of the character of patton. This is a truily great score.Jerry Goldsmith theme: Tora Tora ToraJerry Goldsmith cue/track: The Big Jump (total recall) Best rhythms ever!
