The one with added dialogue?

Poseur!😝
It's a good score to a.very entertaining remake.of A STAR IS BORN.
Using VERTIGO was a copout.

He says it's breathtaking... a truly incredible piece of cinema.

I see it says mono on the cover, but apart from that the sound quality is on the level of early 60s stereo recordings.
 
I read somewhere that the reason we haven't gotten a complete remastered release yet, is that Herrmann's widow is asking too much money for it (the master tapes are apparently in her possession).

Two tracks were released by Stylotone in 2017: Prelude and The Murder. They sound very good!

LLL usually has a 25 percent off sale first week of Sept.
Just saying.😊
That's why I only program 5 tracks!

BLACK BEAUTY is beautiful.
MILK also has some quietly affecting m7sic!

Yeah, he did amazing work on the SW demasters! *cough*

"Adventure on Earth-?ET. Suite"
 
I just can't enjoy anything other than the amazing ORIGINAL.
 
It's in the l9nger version I believe.
NETFLIX has a mini series version up.
Iirc this plays at the very beginning as a sort of ' prelude' over scenes of mountains and forests covered in snow!

The biggest stretch of missing music was between Rodan and Mass Awakening. And it didnt sound that necessary to me anyway.

The Amazing Spider-Man by James Horner. It might not necessarily be the greatest thing ever but at least you get a sense you're in a hands of someone who knows what they're doing. So many of those superhero scores don't really sound like anything at all but Horner managed to fulfil both the requirements of the modern blockbusters as well as sneak in some human emotion into this tentpole extravaganza. Unlike many of these things, this score really is centred on characters and their relationship and it actually feels like it goes somewhere dramatically. What's interesting, the majority of music is very intimate and personal which is quite unusual. The obligatory heroic main theme is actually very catchy, and well developed throughout, and I'm surprised they didn't keep it for the sequel. I've seen this film only once and the music almost made it good. Say what you want about where it ranks among Horner's other works, but this score is an example of his masterful storytelling abilities. He knew how to apply modern trends with skill and taste beyond most of his colleagues' capabilities. For all his idiosyncrasies, he was really a treasure.

Stop complimenting him, then he'll never stop!

Better you than some of the other morons here!

Funny you mention this.  WAY back in the late '80s, I saw BEETLEJUICE on video and remember thinking the opening title music was so original and fresh and (quietly) lamenting that JW didn't really write music like that.  Then I saw WITCHES OF EASTWICK and was blown away!  That it was written the year previous was just icing on the cake.  WITCHES was the first CD I ever bought and is still one of my favorite Williams scores.

Shut up.
 
 
WWTLFIW (OF)?
STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK
I'll defend this film, to my dying day, and it's still my second favourite ST film.
It may not have the Sturm und Drang of II, nor the heartwarming coziness IV, nor  the fantastic set-pieces of VI, but it has a quiet beauty that weaves its way into your consciousness, and never let's go.
Allowing Nimoy to direct was a masterstroke, as it's apparent that he both knows and understands what makes Star Trek tick.
It's not an underestimation to say that this film is made with real love: love for the subject matter, love for the lore, and love for its audience.
As both the middle part of a trilogy, and a third film, it works, surprisingly well.
No matter how well other ST films are made, I'll always return to III, if I need to "turn death into a fighting chance to live".

The only instance of music being in a track where it's not originally supposed to be is the opening of 'Fog Over Fenway' - that piece is from the post-credits scene. Other than that, the score tracks themselves are in order as far as I can tell, so it's just a matter of selecting which ones to include. Here's what I did for my own 'short version' of KOTM
 

How can anyone think that a person who believes it is her " birthright to rule the 7 kingdoms"
is a benevolent character?
She was always in contrast to Jon which made the ending even more tragic

Alexander would burn cities to the ground if they didn't surrender.
Sound familiar?
But, if they " bent the knee" he was relatively benign.
 
Napoleon was seen as a liberator and champion of human rights in his initial years of rule. He disbanded the Italian Ghettos, where Jews were forced to live.
Sound familiar?
Both despots, ALL despots , share one universal trait; they do not tolerate any dissent or opposition.

Amoeba Records is having a Gofundme drive.😰
'Thank you', Generalissimo Newsome.😠😡

I loved it because my childhood hero was finally treated like one.

Apparently I am a minority here. I think the score showcases a good example of writing brilliant music for a film.

I ordered my CD using an amazon reseller. It should be a regular CD **knock on wood**

I collect many things Godzilla related. And every Godzilla score. It's just that important to me.

Right#
Fans wanted a " happy ending" where two unelected monarchs rule over their kingdom - after taking it by  force , and massacring thousands of innocent civilians.
This isn't a fairy tale for children
