I REALLY love AoTC. Across the Stars is one of the best love themes by JW, Chase through Coruscant and On the Conveyor Belt are some of the best action pieces . . . AoTC is certainly one of the best JW has produced in recent years . . . but then again, which score by JW isn't?

I think the best unreleased cues of PoA after watching the movie on DVD are (names by John Takis): Grave Danger A Word of Caution (one of the best uses of Double Trouble) Winter Comes Meddling With Time Sirius Black's Escape (Buckbeak's Theme once again) Also, I have new appreciation for the cues: The Snowball Fight (I love it the way it starts all of a sudden) The Werewolf Scene (the Best action cue of the film) Saving Buckbeack (the way it starts as Harry is sent by Hermione to save Buckbeak -- perfection!!!)

I'm 23, my first CD was Schindler's List when I was 12. I've got now about 60 JW CDs (about 40 soundtracks and 20 with the Boston Pops and other compilations) and 40 movies scored by JW on DVD. Collection is still growing . . . yay!!!

Morlock, why don't you post this at illayarajafan.net??? If there IS such a thing. Just who the heck is this guy? How could he be the best film composer if no one's ever heard of him???

Wish I lived in the US, if only to hear JW on the news.

I think it WAS limited in Europe, only there were so many copies it might as well have been NOT limited. Because now I see more and more copies WITHOUT the bonus track . . . So no one knows HOW MANY COPIES exactly . . .? P.S: I REALLY love "On the Conveyor Belt". Most bonus tracks (not necessarily from JW) are unremarkable, but this one is arguably one of the best cues JW wrote for the film (a shame Lucas didn't include it in the final cut) . . . a short section thereof can also be found on the Across the Stars-music video, which was how I came to love it in the first place.

When the AotC Sountrack came out, it was a limited edition with a bonus track ("On the Conveyor Belt"). Does anyone know to how many copies it was limited? I think the CD now available is WITHOUT the great bonus track, which is a pity. : :spiny:

What's all this s*** bashing Natalie Portman? You should be ashamed of yourselves!!!

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll get them both when my paycheck comes in.

Who's talking about being aroused?

Bit jealous, ain't ya? banghead

Has anyone seen the movie ONLY YOU, scored by Rachel Portman??? I've heard the music is really great -- I'm considering buying either that or The Witches of Eastwick (scored by JW) on DVD. What do you think?

Well . . . she looks ESPECIALLY hot on this one.

Yep. That pretty much sums it up. Oh well.

Where can I find it? Was the DVD commercially released? Do YOU have that?

I think Natalie Portman looks really hot on this site. Another reason to look forward to RotS.

There's an idea. We should all do that!!!

Figues. It's like with Catch me if you can. Wish I could see JW conducting the orchestra for an entire cue just once!!!

Do we need to discuss this? Rachel Portman is the greatest film composer!!! P.S.: Right after JW. HEHE.

For anyone who's got the Terminal-DVD . . . how long is the JW featurette? And does it contain prolonged footage of JW conducting the orchestra? Thanks.

So? That's not a reason why he shouldn't get more. He certainly deserves one for the HP series.

Also, John Williams had already five Oscars in his pocket when he did TPM, Horner won his first for Titanic . . . that's gotta mean something!!! And I think the percentage of what Williams and Horner earn from album sales is different . . . Even though TITANIC was a monster hit, that doesn't necessarily mean that Horner got the lion's share of the money.

I agree that Horner got a lot for Titanic, but I have an idea too strong to deny that JW earned even more on TPM. For one thing, SONY paid a small fortune just for the RIGHTS to release the albums, and for another STAR WARS remains, after all, the most successful franchise in movie history . . . (Plus, there was no Celine Dion to split the royalties with.)

I've listened to JW all my life because my favorite movie ever since I can remember has been ET, closely followed by Jaws, without realizing that the scores to both movies were composed by one man. Then in 1994, I heard the music to Schindler's List on TV (it was the Oscars) and John Williams won!!! Someone told me that he's also written the music for Indiana Jones, Star Wars, E.T., and so on . . . and I was hooked for life!!! I think the soundtrack to Schindler's List was the very first CD I ever bought!!!

But I imagine Horner got to split the money with Celine Dion . . .
