John Crichton 4 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 In Round 1, Monsignor cruised to a fairly easy victory over the superior but misunderstood Images....OK, little editorial rant there. In Round 2, after a bitter but surprisingly bloodless fight Alien scored a one vote upset of Return of the King.Now the winners go head to head. I'm not sure of my vote, both of these were my second rather than first choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 152 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 don't have either of them, but I'm considering getting Monsignor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMENKOHL 1,064 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 As much as I like Monsignor, in this case....the winner is clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artyjeffrey 20 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Taking into account how many of us (myself included) hoped and wished for the day of its release, ALIEN has to be the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 73 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Alien. I thought for sure ROTK would win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 2,082 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Don't have either.Can't believe Rotk didn't win round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 859 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Like I said in the other thread, we knew ROTK was coming and how it would be presented for about 3 years before it was actually released.A L I E N was a complete suprise, no one knew it was coming and Nick Redman has mentioned the masters were lost. Had ROTK been released without anyone knowing about it then maybe it might get my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I agree. It's actually why I couldn't decide and haven't voted in the last round.RotK was a sure thing and we knew it was coming.Alien is an old dream come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldsmithFanatic2000+ 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Alien.Monsignor is a decent effort by Williams. However, It's one that won't ever belong in the same league as Goldsmith's outstanding score to Alien. Not in popularity, nor score.Monsignor is merely a blip on the radar screen compared to Intrada's astounding release of Alien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 480 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Of note, though, both releases were from Intrada.That, and Amazing Stories. Go, Intrada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest macrea Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 While Alien isn't Williams and musically it's not everyone's cup of tea, it is the kind of release that most of us would like to see more of... prominent sought-after titles restored, expanded/complete with extras & detailed liner notes.

Marian Schedenig 5,520 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Well, with ROTK out of the equation, Alien is the best of the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,638 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 RotK was a sure thing and we knew it was coming.Alien is an old dream come true.Which doesn't affect the quality of both releases, and is therefor invalid as a point, since the question is not which rerelease was least expected, but which one's best.

Ollie 859 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 No one said it affected the quality. It is a valid point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,638 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Well, quality is what you should usually think about when you're evaluating scores for a title that has "Best" in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 152 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 As He Who Created The Poll I have no problems with people finding their own criteria of "best". It is a valid point that RotK was long expected while Alien, as well as Monsignor and Images, were total surprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 859 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Thank you John.Well it's obvious the quality of Alien is better than the other listed scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
