Thor

No, you need to get the OST. The score is static and beautiful, like a trance. But one hour suffices.

Young! My man!

Fortunately, it was called just EVIL DEAD over here. It got lots of press at the time, though, and was heavily censored. VHS pirate copies of the uncensored version were doing their rounds in the underground.
 
But I can talk about Norwegian renaming all day long. It was very common in the 80s and 90s, not so much anymore (mostly for kiddie films these days). One funny aspect is how we often prefaced many wacky comedies with the word "Hjelp" ("Help"). So you have:
 
NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION -> HJELP, VI MÅ PÅ FERIE! -> HELP, WE MUST GO ON VACATION!
CHRISTMAS VACATION -> HJELP, DET ER JULEFERIE! -> HELP, IT'S CHRISTMAS VACATION!
SPINAL TAP -> HJELP, VI ER I POPBRANSJEN! -> HELP, WE'RE IN THE POP BUSINESS!
AIRPLANE -> HJELP, VI FLYR! -> HELP, WE'RE FLYING!
 
....and many more.
 
Loads of other things too, like DIE HARD being OPERASJON SKYSKRAPER (OPERATION SKYSCRAPER), DELIVERANCE being PIKNIK MED DØDEN (PICNIC WITH DEATH) and so on.

I like the first three tracks - concerto adaptations of the score. The suite from the score itself doesn't do that much for me. Hopefully, it will be released in due time. You can always rely on Young for providing a melodic approach to horror films (or "delicious darkness", as I like to call it).
 
I'm more anxious to hear his NOSFERATU work.

Did you just get a big pay check or something?

Le petit Garçon -Philippe Sarde 

 
That is a beautiful score. Impressionistic three piece chamber ensemble (piano, violin, clarinet) accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra. Lovely and never boring. 

Yeah, I looked it up. Some A.I. shit experiment. No thanks.

It's hard to separate the two in this case. There's so much "wanking" in Mutter's version, it's hard to tell where the arrangement stops and the performance begins. But yeah -- still the Shaham, followed by the lean (but very charming, and thankfully TO-THE-POINT) trio version.
 
I don't really care that much for either of these, however. It's one of those cases where there's only the original version for me.

I was going to say the same thing about A.I. in the first post. It shines in the OST, it's a chore on the expansion. A.I. has risen steadily to be a top 5 Williams for me - the beautiful ebb and flow between warm and cold there is unique in Williams' ouevre.
 
As for the topic at hand, well several come to mind. Any given John Barry Bond score, for example. Or Herrmann's VERTIGO. Despite my many and best efforts, I've not been able to get into them.

You know you have an all-star line-up when even dead people come back to record!

Yeah, threads like these are always a bit of a bummer. So many of my own favourites mentioned already, that somehow others don't like. The name of the game, I suppose.

Top 10, maybe even top 5 Silvestri for me. Nobody could do glorious Synclavier stuff like he did! Film is also a huge nostalgic favourite, one of my earliest cinema memories (partly shot in Norway, no less!).

Hooray for the late master of lounge!

My top 10:
 
1. THE ADVENTURES OF THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE
2. Sunflower
3. Me, Natalie
4. Breakfast at Tiffany's
5. Peter Gunn
6. Switch
7. The White Dawn
8. Hatari
9. Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?
10. The Pink Panther Strikes Again
 
Also loads of great non-film albums, of course, like The Blues and the Beat, The Mancini Touch, Combo! etc., often featuring a young John Williams on piano.

Another great album (my cover is different), but again -- it's from 2010. He hasn't released anything since RATTLE THAT LOCK in 2015, except that Ukraine song and another song with his daughter.

In fact, I am looking forward to getting a suite instead of a number of one and a half minute snippets.

Frisina is very uneven, IMO. I like some of his biblical output, but other things are too on-the-nose with little dynamic range. But he does know how to churn out a good theme or two.

That IS the takeaway here. The film score suite is okay, but nothing on that level.

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.

That's SW episode X, isn't it?
