Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I've never cared much for Braveheart, the movie, so I've never really listened to the score. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,091 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 You're forgiven, Disco. I used to like the score to Titanic the most, but listened it to death in few years following the film's premiere. Now I prefer Braveheart's score.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I listen to Titanic a lot more. I like its structure and it has a lot of killer action tracks. That said, I consider Braveheart - particularly its finale - to be one of Horner's masterpieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Braveheart for the win. Titanic’s score, while impressive at times, comes across as cheesy with the synth chorus. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Titanic is still a musty offense and even if 'Braveheart' shares some of the same unfortunate DNA with that, it's a glorious masterpiece compared to the elevator allure of the former.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 It might not be a "cool" position to take, but DiCaprio is one of the best actors currently working. Between Django and Wolf of Wall Street, he's still at the top of my list for Hollywood stars. And while I didn't much like The Revenant, he was damn impressive in it. I cannot wait to see him in the next Tarantino. Bilbo and Fancyarcher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewya 360 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Agreed, Titanic is a very good movie, a must-see (not a masterpiece though), 3 out of 4 stars. But the score is mostly just poor and banal - ersatz pretty much everything. I would single out Titanic as a career low for Horner, not a high. 1995 and the duo of Braveheart and Apollo 13 was on the other hand indeed a high. Titanic is one of his weaker scores, Braveheart is one of his best, so the choice is easy. I might add that I pretty much never listen to either score, especially not Titanic - the same can be said about all other Horner music too, I am not a big fan of him at all even if he could be good.
