Naïve Old Fart 9,507 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Sorry @Jurassic Shark, but @Jay is right: MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE is the best M:I score (but ROGUE NATION is not at all bad). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,320 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Rogue Nation is the second best by a country mile! The Giacchinos are alright.

I don't remember the score, but I love Newborn's work on the Naked Gun films! The OST is completely out of print (including digital AFAIK) and it was a half-and-half anyway (half songs, half score). In my memory from watching it a few times as a kid it was a fun pastiche of that 60s crime show sound. No one's even bothered to upload any score tracks to Youtube, just the songs. My favorite is this wonderfully cheesy slice of 80s nostalgia from The Art of Noise: dtw42 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow by Edward Shearmur: This score perfectly captures the spirit and style of the adventure scores of the Golden Age and the similar evocations from the 1980's with convincing panache that is both thematically and emotionally rich and orchestrationally authentic and complex. It is a joy to hear this energetic and gleefully extrovert work either on the succinct OST album or in its complete incarnation on the terrific LLL release.

crocodile 7,988 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 They should give Shearmur a SW film to work on. It's strange that it hasn't happened yet given that his late wife co-produced the Disney ones. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an inferior pastiche of the Imperial March; it sounds like a parody theme, like something from a How it Should Have Ended video. I don't care for that theme, either.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 The Red Pony (Copland, 1949) - One of my favorite scores of all time. Still ecstatic that Intrada finally released the full original recordings last year. Kings Row (Korngold, 1942) - One of my favorite scores of all time. Still ecstatic to finally own FSM's release of the full original recordings. Journey to the Center of the Earth (Herrmann, 1959) - Not my favorite of Herrmann's late-50s/early-60s adventure movie scores, but a wonderfully mysterious interesting listen nonetheless Richie Rich (Silvestri, 1994) - An underrated gem in Silvestri's discography. Fantastic main theme and delightfully orchestrated throughout. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (Horner, 1984) - Still fairly immersed in this one from working on the isolated score videos. dtw42 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,988 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Flightplan by James Horner. I have a strange affection for this score. There's just something incredibly rewarding in a way Horner develops his very simple (familiar-sounding, too) main theme over the course of this neat 50-minute album and how he constructs the suspenseful setpieces along the way.

Kasey Kockroach 2,343 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Put on TFA on a whim. If I'm going to be obnoxiously excited for Solo's score, I might as well listen to 'the real deal'. Still don't really see this as much more than a tired three-star work put over by one genuinely splendid new theme, but I recognize I'm in the minority on that. Not a fan of the mix though. Something about the brass sounds kind of harsh here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
