Just have a huge smile on my face listening to this. Thanks to everyone involved in working on this Holy Grail project.

RIP. She takes an entire era of Hollywood history with her, but she lived a long and interesting life. I can't imagine any of the adults making Captain Blood would have imagined that they would live to see the 85th anniversary of that film.

Sad news. One of the greatest film composers of all time. What an amazing legacy he leaves behind. RIP

I'm afraid I must admit that I've neither seen Rambo III nor heard the score. I'll have to check it out.

Some of my favorites that (I don't think) have been mentioned yet: Trouble in Paradise Sherlock, Jr. Harold and Maude What We Do in the Shadows The Ladykillers

That Hollywood Reporter article says that there are DGA rules that forbid replacing a fired director with another member of the existing crew, so presumably they'd have to find a way to get around that if they want Kasdan.

A lot of fun. That first scene on the airplane is hilarious!

Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Pete's Dragon, please!

Yes, but my understanding is that the interpretation of the music on the 3,400 year old tablets from Ugarit is still pretty controversial, and the tablets aren't complete. My understanding is that the interpretation of the Epitaph and the Greek Delphic Hymns from around the same period is less controversial. So if you're looking for the oldest notated music that we have, it might well be the Ugarit tablets, but if you're looking for the oldest notated music that we can actually reconstruct today with a high level of confidence , my understanding is that it's those examples of the 2,000 year old Greek music.

One of the oldest is supposedly the Epitaph of Seikilos, carved on a tombstone in modern day Turkey roughly 2,000 years ago.

I guess I owe George Lucas an apology for laughing at Ep III. Rest in peace, Carrie and Debbie. Thanks to Carrie for talking about her mental health problems so openly, and thanks to Debbie for saving all of those props and costumes from silent and Golden Age films. What an awful week for that family.

Amy was a good film, but I was sad to see Joshua Oppenheimer lose another Oscar to another music documentary. The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence are two of the most captivating documentaries I've ever seen.

Yes it's from the cue "Imperial Cruiser Pursuit" when the Falcon escapes from Mos Eisley.

We know Williams didn't write the trailer music because it uses Han Solo and the Princess and Williams doesn't remember writing that theme.

Of those that haven't been mentioned, I'd add: Oliver! Cabaret Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Oh shoot! Looks like disc 1 is the same as the 40th anniversary expanded release. That probably means we're still not getting the full finale

I remember turning up the volume on the television and using my cassette recorder to make a tape of music from this film when I was a kid. I was overjoyed when they finally released the score a few years ago. Now if they'd release complete versions of Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Pete's Dragon, Mary Poppins, The Ten Commandments, and Snow White the kid inside of me would be happy forever.

I don't think Spielberg told anyone to tone it down on Empire of the Sun. Everything goes to 11 on that film.

I'm sure these would change every day, but these are the first ones that popped into my head: -The Original Star Wars Trilogy (Williams) -The Indiana Jones Trilogy (Williams) -Bride of Frankenstein (Waxman) -Alexander Nevsky (Prokofiev) -King of Kings (Rozsa)

One of the greatest and most influential cinematographers in history has died. The Godfather Trilogy, Annie Hall, Manhattan, Klute, Broadway Danny Rose...wonderful work. Rest in Peace, Mr. Willis. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/05/19/us-film-gordonwillis-idUSKBN0DZ0B620140519

Yes, it's a great score. But it won in the "original score" category instead of the "scoring" category, and Stothart's score (magnificent and beautifully orchestrated as it is) leans heavily on Harold Arlen's songs, as well as pieces by Mendelssohn and Mussorgsky. It's too bad that Prokofiev's outstanding score for Alexander Nevsky wasn't nominated that year. I think Menken's best score is the one he didn't win for: The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I don't really object to most of Menken's wins (although Goldsmith really should have won over Aladdin for Basic Instinct). I was just pointing out that Menken's wins (and Zimmer's for The Lion King) are probably attributable to the fact that he was scoring popular musicals. Academy voters often seem to think musicals = Best Original Score & Best Sound Mixing Oscars. I think that's why Stothart probably won for The Wizard of Oz in a year in which Gone with the Wind was so dominant.

Don't try to figure out the Oscars' score choices. Gustavo Santaolalla has as many Oscars as Bernard Herrmann, Thomas Newman, Jerry Goldsmith, and Alex North combined. Fame had songs, so it won, just like The Wizard of Oz, Thoroughly Modern Millie, One Night of Love, and some Disney films.

Obi-Wan will give Luke the opportunity to leave home and find adventure, which is what he's yearning for as he stares off into the sunset, and R2 is running away to find Kenobi at that moment. Musical foreshadowing! So the scene was properly scored the second time around...from a certain point of view.

The Force Theme actually appears for the first time in the score in the Imperial Attack cue when Princess Leia is inserting the plans and her message for Obi-Wan into R2.
