Popular Post #SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2019 Released in cinemas on May 24, 1989. The OST is actually the very first Williams OST that I acquired. Renting a copy from my local library and dubbing it to tape a few weeks before I got the Jurassic Park CD. It blew my mind when I first listened to it. Scherzo For Motorcycle And Orchestra especially, but there so much great music. Its a seminal score for me. And one of which I have incredibly fond memories. The film is ace too. Lighter in tone than the previous two. Far less violent. But the Ford/Connery combination is pretty unbeatable. The Blu-ray will be watched this weekend. Chen G., fommes, SteveMc and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,249 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Love the film, love the score, Connery and Ford are terrific in this I'd love to see the cut that Williams scored to, finally see exactly what No Ticket and Keeping Up With The Joneses was specifically written for Smaug The Iron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,451 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 One of my favourite John Williams scores and soundtracks. Definitely top 10, perhaps even top 5. Smaug The Iron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,008 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I'm guessing you're referring to the expanded soundtrack release. Personally, I prefer the OST. mstrox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The FX in TLC look fine to me. I just don't understand why there's a part when Indy goes to the top of the stairs in the library and there's a very obviously fake bookshelf behind him.

Ollie 1,059 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I have fond memories of this film, my son would be born 2 weeks after the movie opened. It’s the third best IJ film and score. Connery and Ford are great together. Elsa is kinda unnecessary and didn’t care for how Marcus suddenly became a buffoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,451 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Anyway, such a great album. One setpiece after the other, each with its own set of dramaturgy and structure, like individual, independent compositions. And all the setpieces come together well. And even my beloved 'religious sound' on display. In terms of the films, I will always put RAIDERS first. But in terms of the score, this is it! And that's not to the denigration of DOOM, which is also brilliant. CRYSTAL SKULL, the film, I liked better than most people I know, but found the score largely disappotining.
