The Best Film Scores of the '70s (first draft, subject to change as I will remove tunes that enerves me!)
Remember that not everything is on Spotify
Weird decade... well all already knew!

Fuck the 90s. Stick with the 70s.
JAWS, SUPERMAN, TAKING OF PELHAM 123, CE3K, THE WIND AND THE LION, ST:TMP, and that's just six.
What 90s score could compare with any of these?

Naïve Old Fart reacted to Chen G. in What Is The Last Film You Watched? (Older Films)
And indeed, it was the part that was edited-down the most when the film was made shorter after its release (first by Lean as compelled by Spiegel; and later, by Spiegel with approval from Lean under false pretenses), and again - by Lean himself, on his own accord - after the restoration. The minutes Lean had eventually cut out of the film (even after going through the effort of redubbing the scene) were mostly of the scene in which Allenby convinces Lawrence to return to the Arab revolt.
Personally, I think that footage belongs there. Without it, Lawrence changes his mind much, much too quickly. On the page, it seems the scene would have worked better unabridged, although who knows how they pulled it off. In general, while I absolutely adore what part 2 is attempting to do, I don’t find it as good as part 1, with the exception of its more palatable pacing. Too many on-a-dime character decisions and ludicrous actions.

Happened to flip on John's WOTW. Maybe it's the Saturday evening joint talking but this score is fucking incredible. Some serious rhythmic/metrical slickness here.

Agreed. There's a definite "Part 1", and "Part 2" with LAWRENCE OF ARABIA.
Of course, one can always be cheeky. Look where the intermission for THE TOWERING INFERNO was. Hee, hee.

"This Must Be the Place" is so magical and perfect, words can't describe how perfect it is.

The greatest concert film. EVER.

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense ('99 Special Edition Soundtrack)
If I'm feeling hyperbolic, I'd venture to say this project (both the film and the soundtrack) are right up there with the greatest music that pop has ever produced. It's for sure the greatest accomplishment from everyone involved. A distillation of everything that was special and wonderful about the Talking Heads.

The Lynch version is pretty irreplaceable, imo.

Oh, absolutely. Don't bother with the bonus tracks, but the main program that fills disc 1 and goes into disc 2 is a pleasure to listen to, much more varied and interesting than any prior presentation due to the wealth of additional underscore that really lets all the highlights breath. It has a great ebb and flow, build and release

Excellent haul, @JTWfan77.
SKY CAPTAIN, is great, as is the LETHAL WEAPON set. DANCES WITH WOLVES speaks for itself...
