Total Recall x 2
I saw a beat up print last week and it still entertains and that score is just THE nonstop balls-to-the-wall action score. I've loved it since I first saw the movie.

The Love Theme from "Krull". Oh wait......sorry....sorry.....the Love Theme from "Superman". I'm such a kidder!
Margot?

Then how would you define "written deeper"?
Neil
-
The characters in JP are written deeper than the characters of Jaws.
Quint is more interesting than everyone combined in JP.

I was merley pointing out that my opinion, "Hitler is a jerk" is also a fact.
Perhaps I'm being too soft on the douchebag.

Batman has lots of music that are just there, and loud, without really doing anything.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that notices this, too.
But as far as pure music goes, I like Goldenthal's Batman scores far more than Elfman's.Yep.

sometimes opinion and truth are the same
No.
I think Hitler is a jerk.
Case closed.

But the characters all undergo some sort of development throughout the course of the film, for example, Alan goes from hating kids to liking them. None of the characters in Jaws are changed in anyway by the end of the film/end of their lives.
Yeah, Brody isn't changed at all at the end of Jaws.
Seriously, stick with watching Indiana Jones movies.

It's a good album, but in the film the score is an annoyance.

I can't believe I'm the only one who voted for the Ark Theme.
I could believe that. Indiana Jones can do no wrong as far as you are concerned.

As much as I love Prisoner Of Azkaban, my vote goes to E.T.
Of course!
Neil

There is no comparison.

Prisoner of Azkaban is the better score...

Naturally I voted for the Love Theme, its hard to think of a single greater piece of music ever written by John Williams. Yes Slave Children is brilliant, and one of his top 10 themes but it lacks the grace, the nobility, the sheer beauty that is the Love Theme from Superman. To bad so many here are clueless. I've always said that so many of the people here are morons, and this travesty of a poll shows once again the immense stupidity of those posters. In no way am I surprised, saddened perhaps but not surprised.
Now that's the post I was waiting for!

"Love Theme from Superman".
Ask this question a year after the Indy box has been out and it wouldn't even be a contest.

The Robe was just announced with an isolated score. This is good for those that missed out on the Varese double-CD set.

Neil doesnt like struzan and floating heads.
If you think that's why I don't like modern Struzan you'd be incorrect. I'm not even sure I've ever even used the term "floating heads". So please stop nit-picking my posts and looking for things to debate when there's nothing there.

Many films were shot on 35mm and released with 70mm engagements. The appeal, besides the bigger, brighter picture was the 6-track magnetic soundtrack. Before 3 competing digital soundtracks could be placed on one piece of 35mm film, 70mm prints with six-track audio were the best way to get true discrete multi-channel sound in a movie theater. Tonight's showings proved that. And the blow-ups looked great. There may not be an actual resolution increase, but the fact that more light is passing through a bigger piece of film means things can be more apparent on screen.

I rarely post in this thread, but tonight was special. I saw 70mm prints of Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (no "II" on the 70mm prints!) and ALIEN. Both looked and sounded the absolute best I have ever experienced them. It was a lot of fun tonight. I had to pay separate admissions for them, (that kind of sucked) but in the end I guess it was worth it.
And if you fall asleep during Blade Runner, "The Final Cut" isn't going to wake you up or change your opinion.

Screw Indiana Jones.
The Blue Box has it beat by far.

Do you really have to use that ugly poster for making the statement.
A) It's not an "ugly poster".
B) Yes.

It won't happen because Williams himself has a contractual obligation to decide whether or not his scores get isolated treatment on DVD/Blu-Rays, and he denies it (as the OST is his ideal vision of the score, apart from the film). Sad, but true.
Ridiculous.
Last year I saw an HD broadcast of 1941 and sadly it was 1.78:1 and the theatrical cut.
Also, don't forget that Cinderella Liberty has an isolated score on it, too.

The French Connection is cool because the music in the film was tracked all over the place. The new isolated score track restores Don Ellis's score to where he spotted the picture. There are also a few source songs included that weren't on the now out-of-print FSM album.

Smart choice.
At best, it's a rental.
