  1. Jaws 2 is only score up there that isn't a total classic. Justin
  2. Dressed To Kill. I was surprisingly disapointed with the film. It just didn't seem to really work in just about any way. I'm hoping to watch the documentaries on it hopefully that will shed some light on the film. Oh yeah, and the film has some horribly graphic dialogue about castration which I didn't find particularly enjoyable. Justin
  3. If you've ever heard the complete score to The Cowboys you'll know this is the worst one up there. Justin
  4. El Cid is an amazing score. In probably Rosza's top three. Justin - Who needs to listen to King of Kings again.
  5. The Thin Red Line and Hamburger Hill. Was unimpressed with HH. Will have further comments later. *Edit* I found The Thin Red Line to be a thoughtful film with some beautiful naration. Overall the film seemed somewhat uncentered. I'm not certain what it was trying to say. The film questions many things about man and ultimatly all the questions are left unanswered. The film doesn't doesn't have more than a semblance of a plot. It's just basically a battle. So for those expecting something plot driven (I.E. Saving Private Ryan) this is not what you are going to get. The film is driven by it's visual presence and it's strong narrative. The film is a feast for the eyes. Beautiful colors and shots with a completly beautiful score backing it. If the film has one weakness it's that's it's trying to be to "heady" and could lose much of it's audience. However, I found the balance to be done quite well. All performances were strong especially Nolte's. Overall the most unique and thought provoking war film I've seen in quite awhile. Hamburger Hill on the other hand seemed somewhat generic. Certainly the story is powerful but it just didn't click with me. A few days later and it's slipping from memory. There was no real striking visual style as seen in Full Metal Jacket, and no real emotional or intelecual backing to it like in Platoon. Overall a generic entry not really worth one's time. Justin
  6. I still have 6 more scores that need to be eliminated before I can vote. Justin
  7. It's kinda catchy.... Justin
  8. Isn't Family Guy basically The Simpsons in the same century? Justin - Who loves Family Guy and has never seen more than a single episode of Futurama.
  9. The voting is now closed. See the original post for the results. Thanks to everyone who voted! Justin
  10. I'm sure no one will agree with me but I absolutly adore "Golden Egg". One of the best tracks of the year. The brass statements of Harry's theme are spine tinglingly awesome. Justin
  11. No one really thought that ESB was the worst score. Or have you still not caught on yet? Justin
  12. I prefer "Internet Memoirs" myself. Justin - Who thinks that's a neat site.
  13. I knew you wouldn't be able to stay away from it after you'd heard Jerry's score. It's a shame you really can't hear The Dogs Attack over all the barking. Justin - Who'd also like to see a version with "The Altar".
  14. I acctually saw this film in the theater. It sucked. But, you know, more power to ya. Justin
  15. I don't think anyone is saying that. In fact I doubt there is anyone on this board who thinks GoF is a stronger score than either PS or PoA. Justin - Who knows Ray is a tunnel-visioned fanboy anyway.
  16. See the film for Gillian's Escape alone. Plus it's Brian De Palma, dummy. Justin
  17. Belgian TV sucks even more then dutch TV. Wow, what a broad perspective you have. You have no idea... Justin
  18. Chris Columbus doesn't know what to do with a camera short of "point and shoot". He's the worst part about the film, IMO. Still, the film can be quite magical for children. Justin
  19. I was going to go see The New World but then saw that the theater near me didn't have it. Justin
