Hans Zimmer's Top 10 Scores

[DreamTheater 131]

Nothing beats the Chuck Heston movie though!

Probably, I've seen bits of it. Is it like Ben Hur? (which I love).

[TheHouseholdCat 4]

1) Interstellar

2) Inception

A great choice for the top 2. I watched Interstellar only very recently and was surprised how different the score was to Zimmer's usual scores.

The Lion King is in my top 5, definitely. Iconic and well-deserved Oscar win.

The Dark Knight was amazing too. I generally am a fan of Zimmer/Newton-Howard. So... This one is up there for me, too.

My top 10 looks like this:

1.) Interstellar

2.) The Lion King

3.) Inception (I only really love a couple of the cues, but for Johnny Marr alone, this is my number three.)

4.) The Dark Knight

5.) The DaVinci Code

6.) Angels and Demons

7.) Rain Man

8.) Thelma and Louise

9.) Sherlock Holmes

10.) King Arthur

[Oomoog the Ecstatic 314]

Man I was recently watching Inception, and it's a great movie. But the score sucks!   It's like hiring a Michael Bay composer for an Alfred Hitchcock movie, what a mistake. I would rescore it in a heartbeat.

 

I'm pretty sure Zimmer's done much better than this: The Dark Knight, The Lion King, scores which actually fit the movie.

[Naïve Old Fart 9,528]

I'm going to shock people.

1/ INTERSTELLAR

2/ THELMA AND LOUISE

3/ RAIN MAN

4/ THE PRINCE OF EGYPT 

5/ M:I II

 

It's not ten, but it's a start.

 

 

 

 

[badbu 123]

1. Backdraft

2. Interstellar

3. Thin Red Line

4. Dune

5. WW84

6. Crimson Tide

7. Gladiator

8. Last Samurai

9. Lion King

10. At World`s End

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

1. Inception
2. The Rock
3. WW84
4. PoC: Dead Man's Chest
5. PoC: At World's End
6. Gladiator
7. Interstellar
8. Man of Steel
9. The Lone Ranger
10. King Arthur

I've never really listenned to Lion King but surely will when I'll get the time to, so King Arthur might disappear depending on how good it is

Jeezus, I did not expect a topic this buried to get bumped... but at least it's a relevant bump. Sad to say, it's been that long that I cannot remember what my top 10 from before was without going back through the thread. I'm not even sure I have a top 10 😂

[Drawgoon 100]

These are the ones I revisit frequently. Last Samurai is very special to me so it just had to be placed on top of the list. But the rest are not in any particular order.

 

1) Last Samurai

2) Da Vinci Code

3) Gladiator

4) Prince of Egypt

5) Hannibal

6) King Arthur

7) Angels & Demons

 

Not quite sure what to put in for the remaining 3 slots. For all other works that I've heard by him I only like the theme suites or perhaps a cue or two.

[Thor 7,504]

I actually listened to GREEN CARD earlier today, which was always a runner-up, and was not featured on my earlier list in this thread. But it has now made it to the list. I'll use this bump to add a revised top 10.

 

Here's my old top 10, from 2012:

 

1. BEYOND RANGOON

2. The Rock

3. Crimson Tide

4. The Thin Red Line

5. The Da Vinci Code

6. Gladiator

7. Inception

8. K2

9. Black Rain

10. The Lion King

 

The current list would probably be something like this:

 

1. BEYOND RANGOON

2. The Rock

3. Crimson Tide

4. K2

5. The Thin Red Line

6. Green Card

7. House of the Spirits

8. Gladiator

9. Inception

10. Point of No Return

 

Looking at most of the lists immediately above mine, it's pretty clear to me there's a generation gap thing going on here. Lots of post-millennium stuff up there!
