It's a bit trickier for me, because I'm so ancient. I was 20 in 1997 already. So still plenty of late 90s and early 2000s nostalgia to wallow in that would "disqualify" the picks, even if I was past my formative/teenage years then. I might have to start at roughly 2005, like you, and try to think of things I've discovered after that that have made my favourites list. A challenge taken later, in the weekend, over a glass of red wine, I think.

We should create a thread: Top 10 scores for movies you didn't grow up on and only fell in love with it after you were out of your formative years
That's a good idea. Not only films you grew up with, but scores you discovered in your formative years in general (even if they're from BEFORE your formative years). Remove those, i.e. only count scores (from all history) that you've discovered and loved AFTER you turned, say, 20, and I'm sure most of our lists would look considerably different.

Taking Williams out of the equation, maybe:
1. BEYOND RANGOON
2. The Nightmare Before Christmas
3. Blade Runner
4. Edward Scissorhands
5. The Abyss
6. Alien 3
7. Waterworld
8. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
9. 1492: Conquest of Paradise
10. The Neverending Story
Or something.

Can't remember. I have a vague VHS memory, but nothing to draw an evaluation from.

Horror, thriller, make of it what you will.

I have both, bought only so I could watch them with an as of yet non-existent other half at a distant point in the future for her conversion to JW.
How does that work for you? Is it like listening to an album? Sorry if it's insensitive, but I'm curious how it works for people who are visually disabled.

I'm curious, what's so special about Japan? As in, why do they often seem to get SACD releases etc. that would sell in other countries too? Why Japan?
Because they're rather obsessive about such things. Physical format, deluxe packaging etc.
I need to get the Vienna and Berlin Blu-rays first, before I attempt getting this.

One of the suites, I suppose? I still need a full recording - I know I asked for recommendations here some time (probably years…) ago, but I still don't have one.
It lasts 48 minutes. Is that the suite?

Just a "heads up", y'all.
Next Saturday at 4pm BST, there will be an interview with Eliot Goldenthal, on BBC Radio 3's programme THE SOUND OF CINEMA.
Nice! I've been wondering how he's doing these days.

Yes, but you are a genius.

Definitely check out The Hurricane, The Black Tulip, Max & Helen, Haunted Summer and Flowers In The Attic! Hush, The Gift and Killing Season are all wonderful thriller scores with some beautiful cues and sections in them too if you are considering broadening your scope.
FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC is horror, as are some of the other titles on your list, but yes, I agree, very nice score that has very little horror about it. Sounds like a drama score.

Norway has a bunch of these too, and I believe there are several articles around translating the Norwegian titles back into English. Like JAWS is "Haisommer", which translates as "Shark Summer". It's funny.

Very glad to hear that it's been made available again, for those who didn't get it the first time around (or the second or third). As I said earlier in the thread, I was 99% certain that this would pop up again, and I'm still confident it will be available in the foreseeable future, perhaps with some intervals. Kudos to those who managed to sell it on the secondary market for hundreds of dollars in the interim, but that's not my thing, despite poverty. My copy is not for sale, and never will be.

"Piece of crap" is taking it too far. I liked many aspects of DARK FATE. But it wasn't the film I expected, given the return of Hamilton (and Cameron's supposed stamp of approval).

I see this is a rejected score. How it compares tot he actual used score by Lurie? Do you know? Better or worse?
Much better. Lurie's isn't too bad, but can't compare. Also, I'm kinda boycotting Lurie these days, due to issues that are forbidden to talk about here.

It's just JS being cheeky. I know he likes that score, but I have no idea what he means. It doesn't really sound Young-ian.

Can anyone recommend any good drama scores besides Murder in the First, The Shipping News, Creation and Something the Lord made?
SWEET NOVEMBER and AN UNFINISHED LIFE.
Also, on Cinema Septet, AMERICAN HARVEST, LAST FLIGHT OUT and SPARKLE ROAD.

I think it's a pity he has been type casted as a horror composer.
I mean, he's one of the best around for horror, but my favourites of his lie elsewhere.

10 most favorite non-Williams film music themes
in General Discussion
Posted
I'm so terrible at themes, just as I am bits and pieces and nuts and bolts of cues (which I know many here are interested in). I'm an album guy. Tend to put on an album, press play and let it roll until it ends. Obviously, I still notice a great highlight or theme now and then, but wouldn't know where to start or stop for a project like this. I think I would at the very least need some parameters, like period, style, genre etc.
