JoeinAR 1,949 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Superman the Movie was released 36 years ago. It remains the most epic of John Williams scored films. It's an imperfect film but perfect entertainment.I will give it a listen this afternoon. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,353 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I listened to the score last week (FSM complete version) and loved it more than I ever have before. Some great action music in the second half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni 306 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Has it only been 35 years? Seems like longer than that. . . .It's an imperfect film but perfect entertainment..Beautifully said. And really only marginally dated, even after three and a half decades (mostly in the wardrobe department). It remains my favorite Williams score, mostly for personal reasons—and, well, the fact that it's friggin' awesome. Incanus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,353 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I did't care for any of the Superman films, but I haven't watched them since college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Well, more then a little marginally dated, to be honest Uni. But still a great film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,353 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 We watched the first 6, so all the ones made while Peter Sellers was alive from the 60s and 70s.I dunno if we'll watch the films made in the 80s and 90s or not - the 7th one re-uses footage of Sellers from previous films; The 8th one features some completely new character; and the 9th one features Roberto Benigni as Clouseau's son. I mean, all 3 were directed by Edwards and scored by Mancini but... they just sound like hollow cash grabs....The original trilogy from the 60s, and sequel trilogy from the 70s, where both great.This final trilogy though... I dunno! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Avoid any Die Hard film without Bonnie Bedelia, or anything with 3, 4, and 5. When watching Superman pay close attention to the glorious prologue. Few sequences are made with such love. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Superman's second half is badly dated now, but I'll always have a fondness for it regardless and probably forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,353 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I've always enjoyed the Krypton, Smallville, and Fortress of Solitude bits from S:TM (film and score). It's was only the stuff after that that's taken me into my 30s to get into.And I love Die Hard 1-3. 4 and whatever else don't exist to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
