This is kind of a spin off pi's (pretty cool) thread. Lets say you knew someone who had never seen a film. You can pick 5 films for them to see. This person is totally willing, and can watch them on there own time, over, let's say a weekend.

Zimmer uses primarily custom libraries. Those string and brass samples you hear in, for example Crimson Tide, are the LSO. And they have been used a million times since, including Survivor and 24.

Marty Mcfly is a character in Back to the Future, produced by Steven Spielberg, who directed Munich, scored by Williams. Is that totally lame, for me to rescue this thread? I kinda thought that a lot of people were enjoying it, and would like to see it carry on...Yes? Jennifer Lopez

Hans Zimmer was an established film composer before he founded the MV company. I don't know if everyone is aware of that... I like some of his early scores, Black Rain, Rainman, Crimson Tide, Days of Thunder. Some great themes in there, and at that time, it was something quite new in film scores, that dynamic, forceful sound. The other Media Ventures minions are not nearly as good as Zimmer though. they are like a tenth of a Zimmer. Veronica Guerin was effective, in the film, but not something I would want to hear outside of the film.

Use what you have got, and use your initiative. You don't need a lot of instruments to make a startling sound.

Jon Pertwee starred in Young Indiana Jones and the Attack of the Hawkmen , which was directed by Ben Burtt, who was the sound designer of Munich, scored by John Williams. Next: Lindsay Lohan

Yeah, this game has been done before right? But, not on JWfan soil. Can we get it going? there is so much richness to Williams career. I'll start; Jeff Bridges

Sturgis, have you seen any other Michael Mann films? Maybe you just don't like his style, but to assume he's a bad director...well that's perhaps a little subjective.

There was this one time in band camp, JW signed a girls butt with his own baton...

Hopkins in Nixon, of course. That is one hell of an impersonation, and a brilliant piece of acting.

Yeah but that's the 1/10 situation that pi is overlooking.

Am I the only one who thinks that Lisbeth Scott chick has a nice back? I know you are reading this Lisbeth, how about a date?

What do you think?

No, you do it better.. You always were the best.

2002, at Costco, LA. Signing of Cd's for Yo-Yo Ma plays John Williams.

Unbreakable. He excels at electronic based music. That's his background after all.

I would recommend you purchase the Taxi Driver dvd instead. One of the best films, ever. And you can hear a lot of the music cues very well within the film.

I love the score for Flatliners. JNH used to be cool. Now he's a puff.

I like Joe's explanation... Put one foot in front of the other

OMG, someone made a mistake! It sure wasnt Williams though. Someone needs to be fired, immediately.

I haven't heard it yet, but I'll give a solid D.

its all about physics. Exhibit A: The Attack of the Tilted Head and the Revenge of the Beer-Gut;

Just choose one, fanboys, none of this other stuff.. Each option includes having lunch with JW and the Director. One day. Choose wisely.

Yeah, people who say that, are probably readily convinced of lots of other things as well.
