SteveMc 2,674 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 What year do you believe was the best vintage for film scores? Give two years, one for the Golden Age and one for the modern era if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,029 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 1977 is obvious. The other one, perhaps 1960. Good idea for a thread, btw. SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,029 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Another possibility is a year around 1940, when Korngold churned out his great swashbuckling scores. SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc 2,674 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 1993 is a year which seems quite good to me. I'll have to give the matter some serious consideration before I deliver my final verdict, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 In Canada, that was released on January 2, 2003. I don't know when the OST album was, but I suppose it passes as 2002. 2003 was not a bad year either. Return of the King, Finding Nemo, The Curse of the Black Pearl.
