filmmusic 1,829 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Yesterday evening I was thinking of watching Gallipoli (1981) that I have never seen.I didn't see it eventually but I learned that today it's exactly 100 years from the first day of Gallipoli battle!So, I'm gonna watch it tonight..(yes, i know this is not the "what is the film you're going to watch tonight" thread) By the way, i was just browsing the movie and heard an electronic music cue that it's so familiar to me from the 80s..I searched for composer on the film but i don't see any credit.Did the film had a collection-score with various cues from various composers? (apart from the Albinoni one)edit: Oh, I guess it was the Oxygene by Jean Michelle Jarre.And I was almost sure that it was this composer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,829 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Just finished Gallipoli.Can't say I liked it much.I liked it as production values are concerned but the story/script...Also, what was the director thinking using the electronic music?Sometimes I wonder about directors using totally unfitting music.

Matt C 454 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Twister - The tornado sequences are still gripping and entertaining, but the supporting cast is still so annoying. We don't need Jami Gertz's annoying fiance, Cary Elwes' rival stormchaser or Philip Seymour Hoffmann's Dusty. Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton and the tornadoes themselves are all we need.

Sweeping Strings 2,358 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Where Eagles Dare - the first time I'd seen it, believe it or not. 2 hours 35 minutes is a 'bum-number' of a running time for what is essentially a Boys' Own 'ripping yarn' adventure thing and believability is undoubtedly stretched at times, but undeniably entertaining. publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the main theme has become synonymous with the Olympic Games. Or do you think filmmusic will say "Chariots Of Fire could've been a great movie if they didn't hire Vangelis?" Yes, synths were hot in the late '70s and early '80s: Chariots Of Fire, Witness, The Mosquito Coast, The Bounty, Blade Runner, The Hitcher, Missing, Sorcerer, ... And one day synths will be hot again!!!Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni 306 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Airplane! Haven't actually sat and watched this one for a while. It's still as laugh-out-loud funny as it ever was. Dated only in its look, which only serves to give it that much more late-70s disaster-movie charm, and that's a good thing.Forbidden Planet is on later!Does it get any better?Not much! I was thinking about this last night while watching Airplane!, reminiscing on how Nielsen was only known for his dramatic roles early in his career. Hard to believe that the young captain of the C57-D would go on to be the best and goofiest straight-man in the Abrahams-Zucker arsenal in the years to come.

Wojo 2,453 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Airplane! is one of my absolute favorite films of all time, but it's sadly dated in far more than its look. It's left far in the dust by FAA beaucracy and safety regulations. Ted Striker would have spent so long in preboard screeners, he wouldn't have been on the plane when everyone dies. Not to mention nobody would have been able to bring the gasoline, hangman's noose, pistol, baseball bat, and guitar aboard. But I think if pilots were allowed to get BJs from willing stewardesses and smoke afterwards, they would be less depressed and want to crash the plane.

Uni 306 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 The sequel was just as funny as the original (even though it basically repeated the same story).

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Ewoks: The Battle for EndorPretty sure this is my favorite Star Wars movie. It's got an army of monsters, a dragon, Teek, cool spaceships, 75% of the human characters including the male lead from the previous movie murdered in the first 10 minutes, the Ewok Village being burned, guys falling off a mountain, a nightmare sequence, a witch with a magic ring, a lengthy castle scene, an awesome end battle that's actually better than the land battle in Return of the Jedi and a guy being burned to a crisp like Antoine in the 1989 Batman.
