In Topic: 10 Scores you MUST have...

And people barely remember Chariots of Fire from '81


I'd have to disagree with you there Joe. Certainly in regard to the British Psyche anyway. Its deep in everyones memory here. Play the famous theme from Chariots here, and people would recognize it immediately as from that film. Probably because its been used heavily in school sports events since then. Hehehe. Plus, because of the culture of the film. I also like 1492, Stewdog. Do you have Vangelis' El Greco and Mask CD'S (not film scores).

1492 was the first CD i ever purchased when moving from tape to CD. :(

Ayahuasca - Who has quite a lot of Vangelis' CD's

Morn - Who thinks Horner is very talented and just lazy



I agree with you Morn. That really is the problem with Horner.
Brainstorm and Wrath of Khan were masterpieces. But later on
he got scared of experimenting like he did in his earlier scores.
Braveheart was a return to good form. His early scores made full
use of orchestra. I agree that he is full of potential. But for some
reason he chooses not to experiment as much as he used to.

I've often wondered about that too.

Sometimes i think "nobody other than Brad Fidel could of done the Terminator score" for example. Same with Horner's Brainstorm. But when it comes to it, i still think those films such as close encounters were also largely a sucess because of excellent direction and story and still woudl of been hits :(

I dont think that guy is trying to stop anyones opinion Ren. :(
He may be saying "we dont know the deal between Lucas and Williams"
And in all honesty, has anyone heard any complaints from Williams yet?
I tend to agree that director and composer do whats right for the picture.
