Jarbas 1 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 For me Rambo: First Blood Part II is fantastic, with highlights to Escape from Torture and Pilot Over.Ops... title post should be: The Best Goldsmith Action Score!!!

I find the score overrated. Only Goldenthal's '3' matches (and to some extent outdoes) the greatness of Goldsmith's original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,239 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 It's not an action score. Neither is Blue Max, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 ST: The Motion Picture (A fantastic score!)The Mummy (A great great score!)Mulan (an okay score)Planet of the Apes (a mostly unlistenable score pour moi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitch 57 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Planet of the Apes (a mostly unlistenable score pour moi)Not as unlistenable as Elfman's dire re-hash. POTA (1968) is Jerry at his most avant-garde. Great Oscar nominated score to a classic sci-fi movie. Come on...surely the cue "THE HUNT" does it for you????

Jarbas 1 Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Ok, it's my mistake... maybe a moderator could renaming the title post including the ACTION score...So we avoid confusion as Rudy or Papillon is the best...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Urgh...this topic again.His best score is Star Trek TMP.THE END!yeah but you'd agree his best purely action score is Total Recal, it is only logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpigeon 3 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Total Recall is decent, but it never much interested me as an action score. Lots of notes, but few of them resonate with me. There are a few cues I love, but when it comes to brassy action, he's done much better.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Logic suggests that his best actionscore is Rambo: First Blood part II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
