Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Apparently, a celebrity was reported as listing off his favorite film scores, to the delight of millions of enchanted fans. And thus, compelling discussion was ignited! But why not add fuel to this fire? Surely my taste in film will captivate all the readers in this community, just as the choice of favorite scores by today's other greatest living/non-retired film composer (besides Christopher Young) dazzled us ever so! But why not my favorite film scores, you naively question? Well, alas, I tend to associate older scores with 'crappy sound quality' and 're-recordings that rarely sound as good as the original in terms of performance' in terms of isolated listening, so I felt my list of favorite scores would lack some amount of variety. Discuss, my chummy charitable cherubs! And no, this isn't ranked. And yes, you may seize the opportunity to share your own list of favorite films, if you are able to accept your list will most indubitably be inferior to mine. Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) The Great Muppet Caper (1981) Harry and Tonto (1974) Mighty Joe Young (1949) Return of the Living Dead (1985) Allegro Non Troppo (1977) Sons of the Desert (1933) Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad (1949) Night of the Hunter (1955) Frankenhooker (1990) Martin (1978) Son of Paleface (1952) Suspiria (1977) Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) Lifeforce (1985) Theatre of Blood (1973) Bride of Frankenstein (1935) John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 You apparently only disliked one! That's swell! Who knows, you might like Phenomena. It competes with that as my favorite of Argento's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I will say though that Suspiria is effectively creepy and not a bad movie by any means, but it wasn't my cuppa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,525 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I've seen 2 and love both: Suspiria and Bride of Frankenstein. Oh, and Theatre of Blood which I totally forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,651 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I love the Muppets, but Caper is bottom three Muppet movies for me (Treasure Island and From Space are probably below it for me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,495 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Certainly a few oddball titles on your favourite movies list, Kasey. We're all kinda doing this now already, in the "Top 10 movies by decade" thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,516 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 NIGHT OF THE HUNTER LIFEFORCE That is pure, unadulterated crap, but it's so much fun to watch! Have you got the Blu? Two versions, and two iso scores! Back of the net! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An enthusiastic filmmaker thinks he's come up with a totally original idea: animation set to classical music! When he is informed that some American named "Prisney" (or something) has already done it, he decides to do his own version, using an orchestra comprising mostly old ladies and an animator he's kept locked in a dungeon. Several different classical pieces are animated, while the animator plots his escape. Kasey Kockroach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 It is a beautiful, funny and beautifully funny film, and more than likely my favorite animated movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Look online, I suppose! I've had my copy for many years, so I have no idea if it's hard to find nowadays. Hopefully you can find it with English subtitles included, but if not, rest assured, it's still perfectly watchable with just visuals alone.
