Carnifex 5 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 She Dances Alone (1981)Amores perros (2000)21 Grams (2003)Salinas grandes (2004) (TV)Motorcycle Diaries (2004)North Country (2005)'Yes (2005)Brokeback Mountain (2005)Babel (2006)Ok film music freaks, I think this composer should have been introduced much earlier in this series of distinguished film composers.I know he does not have much films to list, but I think we all can list the best five nevertheless.

indy4 155 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 This "Top 5 Series" seems very familiar....indy4 - who has nothing by Santaolalla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I have Babel and Amores Perros. Gustavo is not worth a Top 5.All his scores are the same, it baffles me how many times the guy can re-use Iguazu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 In all seriousness I found the music to Brokeback Mountain to be very appropriate, and very fitting. In that respect this composer scores (no pun intented) over Harry Gregson Williams by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I found Brokeback Mountain to be one of the most forgettable scores ever. I didn't even acknowledge it or even Gustavo's existence until his name was read at the Oscars. I was literally mouth-left-open after John Williams lost a double nomination to that crap.

Trent Hoyt 13 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I feel like the academy stopped nominating JW in recent years purely because he has been nominated so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie_twinkle 48 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I don't trust or believe in the Academy much anymore. However, I stand by my comment that the score to Brokeback Mountain was perfect in context. It was just a few guitar chords twanged over and over, but then so was Neil Young's score to Dead Man, and that was a superb film and very memorable score.Do I own the CD for either score? Hell no. But that's not the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnifex 5 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Ok I admit I created this thread so that we can bash this insignificant cretin, to whom someone has given a name. I think it is good time for all of us to alleviate our minds from bitterness so that we will not commit something horrible in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,646 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 The best 5 of a composer who has done only 9 so far, 2 of which I heard were crap? What the hell?What's next, Top 5 of Nicholas Hooper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I feel like the academy stopped nominating JW in recent years purely because he has been nominated so much.Doesn't John Williams still get nominated every year he scores a film?
