Wojo 2,453 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Horner makes each successive score the best ever because he cuts and pastes the best from each previous best score. It's quite logical, but I drew a line in the sand years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Wow Jay : Jumanji, really ?It's OK, but Horner did so much better.Not even Krull ???Legends of the Fall ???Avatar is good but the action music is underwhelming. I thought TASM was an improvement.Avatar is OK, but when you take into account the fact Horner had a year to work on it, it suddenly looks like a quite a letdown.I think it's very good, but I had to warm up to it considerably. The action music is the weakest part, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Never heard Legends of the FallKrull, Star Trek 3, Mask of Zorro would make the top 10Maybe Titanic?

DreamTheater 131 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I've noticed this topic hasn't had anything to do with the Horner-scored documentary at all. Now that I've seen it I can safely say this: don't watch this if you expect Horner to overwhelm you with emotion, in fact it's the total opposite. Music is pretty much in the background all the time, not adding a whole lot to the musical part of the short film. In my opinion, it could've been without score just as well...But it's 100 % worth it as an eye-opening true to life and heart-wrenching story of one of the Auschwitz concentration camp survivors. Kitty Hart-Moxon, young girl during those trying times, now a senior woman telling her story to two young girls at the site of the atrocities, sometimes in horrifying detail. It's as unbelievable as it is essential viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni 306 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Top five Horner? Lessee. . . .(In some order):- Krull- Glory- Star Trek II- Apollo 13The last spot would have to be a tug-of-war between Willow, Field of Dreams, and Braveheart.And, being a Horner completist, I'll have to get my hands on this one (regardless of how much or little impact it had on the film).Avatar is good but the action music is underwhelming. I thought TASM was an improvement.Avatar is OK, but when you take into account the fact Horner had a year to work on it, it suddenly looks like a quite a letdown.Completely. He had that long, and couldn't do better than to reuse his Glory theme, and was still throwing the danger motif into "The Destruction of Hometree." I expected better.

DreamTheater 131 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Avatar was a major disappointment for me at first, however I came around after letting the initial expectations fade and I almost love it now. Not top 10 Horner, but still great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
