publicist 4,643 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Early (1972) Goldsmith warm-up for 'Poltergeist': don't expect huge operatic orchestral forces, but the spooky americana is already in full bloom -Goldsmith opts for no complicated bravado here, a deep piano pedal over a playful frolicking tune gets the job done just as well. It's a shame director Robert Mulligan cut out most of it. The movie could have needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 A fair bit since I was last about but to highlight last couple or so. The War Wagon- Dimitri Tiomkin Boys from Brazil- Goldsmith 633 Squadron- Ron Goodwin I brought 633 from FSM last week and got it yesterday, two discs with the other being "Submarine X-1". Only 633 so far but the end title track works still, the love them seguing gradually into the theme as Harry Andrews is driven away having just intoned: "You can't kill a squadron."

I love the little swashbuckling source music for the Laughing Bandit movie set which I included in its proper place as I think it fits the mood of the rest of the score pretty well.

It's probably a much better score than most thinks that came out last year. I just discovered it a couple of weeks ago. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted April 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2017 Gladiator The Prince of Egypt Cool Runnings Star Wars As with Close Encounters and Superman, it's one of the classic Williams scores that I hardly ever listen to. Still great, but I find myself preferring the other Original Trilogy scores which have more of the "classic Williams" feel the composer would refine in the subsequent couple years.

Naïve Old Fart 9,524 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 CASINO ROYALE (2006). It's really not bad. There are a few touches left over from the TWINE, and DAD days, but one can hear that Arnold's trying to push Bond music in a new direction, while keeping some juicy Barry touches (NOTHING SINISTER, TRIP ACES). It's not not a patch on the ultra classy QOS (still his best work for both Bond - and cinema in general), but it's certainty far more appropriate than either of Newman's offerings.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 QOS as a film is much maligned. It has its faults. And it is far too much of a downer for a Bond film. But it is unique in many ways. It's the only Bond film where the locations don't look like someplace you wanna go on holidau. And just for that it's a little bit special.

bollemanneke 3,346 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 The LOTR OSTs. FOTR is still my favourite score, but what surprises me most is how I disliked TTT, way too many cues that felt unnecessary. I've always found the rOTK CRs rather hard to appreciate, but I'm really enjoying the OST presentation at the moment, much more than I ever enjoyed the complete set.

Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Cool Runnings (Zimmer) - Zimmer's best score. It's a shame he doesn't write like this anymore... "Fun Hans" is a much better composer than "Serious Hans." Sahara (Mansell) - Awesome. Return of the Jedi (Williams) - The more I listen to this, the more I really think it's the best OT score. As good as ESB is, there's just so much variety in ROTJ... The shift from the bombast of the Imperial March to the unsettling calm of the Emperor's Theme... for all of the imposing grandiosity of Vader's theme, Williams lets you know very clearly where the real power resides.
