Recommended Posts

It's just a bit empty, on account of the film. 2008 has better to offer.

There Will Be Blood

Frost/Nixon

The Dark Knight

Hancock

Waltz With Bashir

Add:

Horton Hears A Who!

Speed Racer

Kung Fu Panda

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

Revolutionary Road

There Will Be Blood was 2007.

Its one of JW's worst scores.

:blink:

What would you consider to be one of JW's worst scores then?

Indy IV doesn't come even close. Some examples of far worse:

It's mainly the 1960's comedies and some other somewhat clunky efforts

The Paper Chase

John Goldfarb, Please Come Home

A Guide to the Married Man

Not With My Wife You Don't!

Diamond Head

Penelope

Earthquake (yes I put this sacred cow here, deal with it!)

You don't get to make the rules after the fact buddy!

No one listens to those anyway.

Why would you listen to something that you don't like (e.g. the much maligned Indy IV) and constantly moan about it? Or bemoan the times and mores when someone doesn't conform to the holy E.T.-ism?

Oh yeah, internet.

Tombstone by Bruce Broughton: One of Broughton's best, a very old school Western score. The main theme is not quite as catchy as the composer's previous Western triumph Silverado but he makes it up with a lovely waltzing love theme and grittier action music.

I don't really like The Fury.

You heathen! Where is the stake, where is my flint and tinder! This man shall burn!

I really like it from a "bonus John Williams score" perspective but I can see why somebody would dislike it.

I love the album, but the main score is a bit of a slog.

It is only about 10 minutes longer than the OST. I too prefer the OST re-recording but the film score has few of my favourite renditions of the main theme. The LLL set finally had the film score recording of the twisted carousel music which was composed but never used in the film and was not on the Varese set. I initially thought JW had done that exclusively for the OST album track Death on a Carousel but it was interesting to discover it was always meant to accompany the scene before replaced by the darker version without the carousel music.

And four great Danny Elfman scores in 2008. Might be his strongest and most diverse year ever actually.

Look what you have done Drax! You have lured Alex into this thread with false promises of ASMR! And you Karol made and enforced that notion!

I've probably listened to IJ4 more than Raiders of TLC in the last 7 years, that's for sure. And definitely listened to TOD more than all 3

For me, the only Indy score I listen to these days is Raiders.

The only Indy score I listen to these days is Tintin!

I do feel like Tintin kind of filled the void left by KOTCS, which was relatively humdrum, lacking the whimsy and action/adventure material you'd expect from a JW Indiana Jones score. However, one of my issues with Tintin is the complete and utter lack of, I suppose romanticism? It's one of the reasons it leaves me kind of cold. It is kind of cold. Weirdly, War Horse kind of filled the void left by Tintin.

You are the only American who liked the movie!

Tintin?

Seems like it!

Chris Lennertz's music to the Quantum Of Solace video game.

Good score!

Some Williams' of late

Return of the Jedi, Superman and Summon the Heroes

along with Joel McNeely's Shadows of the Empire.

With the Expanded Universe effectively shafted by the new film and JJ, this soundtrack (which I know is not a strict OST to the book) sort of sits in the netherworld. Being a score to a book that is now discounted or has Shadows escaped the purge?

Revenge of the Sith (Williams) - Damn. Literally the only thing I would change about this score would be to excise the tracked music and have Williams right new material so it could have properly won the Oscar it deserved.
