ChuckM 1 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Some of the best in my opinion, would have to be the clock sequence from BTTF, or more recently, the bullet sequence from Lord of War. The chocolate scene from the new Charlie and the Chocolate factory is pretty cool too (greatly aided by Elfman). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Lord of War and Charlie are good choices. I love Red Dragon's, with Elfman's terrific main title cue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 75 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Indeed. When you see the star destroyer in Star Wars, it's so detailed and lifelike that it is far more believable that anything in the Prequels. Particularly AOTC, which is basically a glorified cartoon.

Marian Schedenig 8,177 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 True. It was good to see the movie allowing the music to dominate those first lengthy shots.
