Thor 7,465 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 SOMEWHERE IN TIME and DANCES WITH WOLVES are my favourites. The other two are good too, but not quite on that level. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,030 Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 But Somewhere in Time has the least catchy main theme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,465 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Perhaps, but 'catchiness' isn't necessarily a requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,392 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I love Out of Africa and Dances With Wolves. Two of my favorite film scores ever created. The other two I like, they're okay scores. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Born Free isn't really much beyond it's Matt Monroe main tune. All the others are more or less one level with minus points for DwW for its length far overstaying its welcome (Barry WAS repetitive, man).

Jurassic Shark 12,030 Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Funny, I'd say it's clearly the weakest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,030 Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 It's indeed a very strong melody, but to me, Out of Africa has the most memorable theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 It surely has, but Somewhere in Time has a more intimate romantic sheen. 32 minutes ago, Albus Percival Wulfric said: This is the strongest melody of the bunch.

Out of Africa is the more impressive score too, just in scale. But Somewhere in Time has that Delerue-esque intimacy that makes it more affecting. On the other hand, I can't stand the Dances With Wolves theme, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I never liked it, it's a lowbrow housewife melody that people always seem to associate with film music. Before Schindlers supplanted it. KK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 SL is a far better tune though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love the score, but the main theme is easily my least favorite. But I find the Two Socks theme to be absolutely enchanting. And the Pawnee material is quite striking Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
