    only just seen this, sad to hear. A huge fan of his Blue Thunder since I saw the movie as a kid. Sanity Check, Adios JAFO and River Chase/Hide & Seek top tracks. 
     
    Seemed a largely unheard off score by and large, at least I never saw much written about it but it's so welded to the movie. 
     
     
    8.29 to about the 9 minute mark: "Come on you tub of s--!"
     
    RIP.

    Every time I listen to The Pier Incident, I involuntarily begin screaming CHARLIE TAKE MY WORD FOR IT DON'T LOOK BACK SWIM CHARLIE SWIM. 
    I can't control it. It's deeply ingrained within the subconscious.

    Caught up and it's brilliant throughout. Does a good job of underlining Williams' score as well as his contribution to Jaws overall. Blown to Bits has long been a favourite and from 3.05 to the destruction of the shark still ratchets up the tension. Good choice to highlight Brody's "smile you sonofa...!" Look forward to more examples of JW's various scores.

    My last Jaws video!
     
    Music as heard in the film doesn't kick in until about 2 minutes in!  All of "Quint Meets His End" and the first 40 seconds of "Blown to Bits" went unused in the final mix.
     
    As always, it's a bit difficult to know if you've lined up unused score correctly with the film, especially since it's impossible to know if the scene was even slightly re-edited after recording the cue.
     
    Well, this is my best guess!!  I think it was right to cut the "Quint Meets His End" music, but I love every second of "Blown to Bits" set to picture.

    Working my way through the thread, like to say what a good job's been done Disco Stu on these vids. In Man Against Beast Beast replayed that part where the shark first passes a couple of times. Excellent.

    That's my favorite part too!  It's always been the "hair standing up on the back of neck" moment of the whole movie for me.

    Isle of Dogs. 
     
    liked it, ideally the whole film should've been Jeff Goldblum. It's classic Anderson though and the animation, like Mr Fox, is top notch.

    Huge Anderson fan here. Went to see Mr Fox with two friends, audience mostly kids with their parents. I had been sceptical of Anderson and animation but it's a spectacularly neat film. I have high hopes for Isle of Dogs.

    sadly my last film was nowhere near Anderson. Being the new F1 season, Rush
     
    boy, to go back in time to the 70s and see Hunt in his prime. Yes, one hit wonder I suppose with the championship but the man had a certain legend.

    Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
     
    Wonderful film. The characters are very simple but well-defined, the story is streamlined and amusing, the dialogue is sharp and witty, and the film overall looks lively and whimsical, like a children's book come to life. I can see how some might find his shot composition and cinematography a bit rigid, but I feel like every frame is a painting. It's carefully crafted in a way that is beautiful and unique among any filmmaker I've seen. Very much looking forward to seeing his latest stop-motion film, Isle of Dogs.

    been trying to get my John Barry-loving Dad into more Williams' scores but I got ET and Schindler's List returned without a word -unlike Hanover Street which I did a copy for (amongst others).

    recently listened to a few scores including:
     
    The Italian Job- Quincy Jones (should I ever drive through Italy, this might well be the score). Getta bloomin' move on, Arthur!
    The Bridge at Remagen and The Great Escape- Elmer Bernstein. ("Blythe" is one of my favourite Bernstein tracks)
    Rush- Hans Zimmer ("I'm James Hunt, and this is what I do")
    Starsky & Hutch- Theodore Shapiro
    and a re-listen of the second disc of Empire Strikes Back. I've mentioned it on the other thread, but a new favourite of the short musical moment is "Leia's Theme" in "Rescue from Cloud City/Hyperspace")

    Ice Age: The Meltdown by John Powell
    I live with my grandpa who's into film scores even more than I am, and he's of course much more musically inclined as well (unlike me, he understands terms like "chord change" or "crescendo", words that are still beyond my comprehension). For the record, his favorite composers are John Barry, Dimitri Tiomkin and Jerry Goldsmith. 
    So I was ecstatic to discover him listening to this on his laptop. I introduced him to this composer, so to speak, but was nervously uncertain whether or not he'd like him. Was relieved to discover otherwise ("He's got good technique" he put it). 
    I enjoy Giacchino now and then, but I agree with grandpa's assessment. "Powell's got the muscle and the heart. Giacchino just has the heart, and often that's enough."
