Naïve Old Fart

I thought it went: CDEFGABC?
There are only 10 types of people: those who get binary, and those who don't! 

I hope those links work in your country.  Sometimes those "official" YouTube uploads don't.  Anyway, I love Jason and the Argonauts.

Normal music is based on the scale ABCDEFG. Digital music has only two notes, 1 and 0.

It is more of a compendium or chance for a new focus on this central story in the legendarium, to bring together all the major elements of it in a single volume. If you have read the Children of Húrin I am sure it will be quite similar in composition. The Silmarillion stories set in the First Age aren't a single narrative but a string of tales focusing largely on the elves throughout this prehistory of Middle-earth and the story of Beren and Lúthien forms only a part of the great stories from that period but it is very central to the author himself who e.g. perhaps most strongly connected this bittersweet love story with his own initially complicated courtship with his wife Edith Bratt. So this tale had also a lot of personal meaning to Tolkien. It says a lot that even their tombstone reads Beren and Lúthien.
 
The story also links with the greater frame story of the Silmarils that is a major thread running through the histories of the First Age and they feature as a prominent element in this tale.
 
And moreover the story also has a greater significance to the legendarium as it also contains the first example of the rare union of the two races, of elves and men and the mingling of their bloodlines which happens only four times in the whole history of Middle-earth. Lúthien was actually through her mother Melian in part a Maia, immortal angelic spirit and this is how Tolkien explained how part of the immortal blessing of the elvenkind's and angelic creator spirits' spark in skills, imagination and art still lives on as it passed to humanity and has been part of their existence ever since and manifests in some of them from time to time.
 
 

I like Holmes' Ocean's 11 score a lot!

I'd recommend Eshpai's Symphony No. 8 which reminds me of vintage Godzilla stuff in places like here:
 
 

Clear off!  This is now Bespin's own thread to post in when he's drunk.

The STAR WARS prequels are scored by John Williams. THE HOBBIT films...are not.
M'lud, the case for the defence rests.

Bes, your very own CA thread awaits. Fill yer boots! 

Oh. Okay.
 

We're hitting rock bottom. 
 
Jason, can I have my $20 back?

Even better, it's just a minor-mode variation on the main title, as are all the other themes and motifs. They guy sure knew how to stay true to his concept.
 
 
Another star-sudded half-serious Agatha Christie-adaptation, another big luxurious tune that could grace any epic. Those were the times.

It suddenly struck me how we have a thread for scores, and on the other extreme a thread for favourite short musical moments, but strangely nothing for the middle ground. So here it is.
 
The New Arrival - The Blue Max (Goldsmith)
 
 
I can't get Jerry's sombre march for the Luftstreitkräfte (or is it Stachel's ruthless ambition?) out of my head. Creates a sense of one's fate already being written, as you tread slowly towards oblivion. Check out the false relations in the counterline at 0:50. It's somewhat reminiscent of the Main Titles from The Sand Pebbles, but even better.
 
 

Actually, Jay, neither do I. The last film I saw at the flicks, was HIGH-RISE. I guess that I prefer the comfort of my own home, rather than spend nearly 3 hours in a cinema, surrounded by whiny kids, popcorn-munching morons, and texters.
I know that the cinema expierince can be a brilliant thing, but its not something that I miss, much.
 
 
 
I don't mind it, Alex, but I simply prefer to watch films in my home, and at my leisure. Having said that, I saw both INSIDE OUT, and THE GOOD DINOSAUR surrounded by children, and I loved watching both of them (the films, that is, not the children!).
I will, however, make a point of seeing ALIEN COVENANT, BR2049, and SW:TLJ, at the cinema.

Yes, very nice, but...who's the old guy?

Its as from the Emerald Isle, as all those "genuine Oirish" bars, in Boston.

Funniest line:
"They're screwdrivers! What are you going to do, assemble a cabin at them?"

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace by Alexander Courage. Still the second best Superman score out there. it's only a shame that being part of the (rather excellent) Blue Box means fewer people will buy it and discover for themselves.

Not a reboot, a revival. From 2005/Eccleston onwards, the show has been at pains to point out that it's very much a continuation.  

What a beautiful building!
